A-dṛṣṭa. — ‘The unseen’ is a term used in the Rigveda1 and the Atharvaveda2 to designate a species of vermin. The sun is also described as ‘the slayer of the unseen’ (adṛṣṭa-han),3 and as a counterpart a ‘seen’ (dṛṣṭa) is mentioned.4 In one passage5 the epithets ‘seen’ and ‘unseen’ are applied to the worm (Kṛmi), their use being no doubt due to the widespread theory of diseases being due to worms, whether discernable by examination or not.6[Footnote] 1) Rv. i. 191, 4 = Av. vi. 52, 2.
