Aja, Ajā. — This is the ordinary name for goat in the Rigveda¹

and the later literature. The goat is also called Basta, Chāga,

Chagala. Goats and sheep (ajāvayaḥ) are very frequently

mentioned together.² The female goat is spoken of as pro-

ducing two or three kids,³ and goat's milk is well known.⁴

The goat as representative of Pūṣan plays an important part

in the ritual of burial.⁵ The occupation of a goatherd (ajapāla)

was a recognized one, being distinguished from that of a cow-

herd and of a shepherd.⁶ [Footnote] 1) Aja in Rv. x. 16, 4; i. 162, 2. 4;

having been defeated by the Tṛtsus under Sudās. They are

there mentioned with the Yakṣus and Śigrus, and Zimmer²

conjectures that they formed part of a confederacy under

Bheda against Sudās. The name has been regarded as a sign

of totemism,³ but this is very uncertain, and it is impossible to

say if they were or were not Āryans. [Footnote] 1) vii. 18. 19. [Footnote] 2) Altindisches Leben, 127, Cf. Ludwig,

M.B., Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 115, Verse 75 says that

Aja never used to take meat.

AJA II . Among the different kinds of Ṛṣis mentioned by

Yudhiṣṭhira, we find a class of Ṛṣis called Ajas. (M.B.,

Śānti Parva, Chapter 26). These Ajas had attained

Heaven by Svādhyāya (self discipline) alone.

AJA III . King Jahnu had a son named Aja. Uśika was

the son of this Aja. King Uśika prayed to Indra for a

son. Indra himself was born as the son of Uśika assum-

ing the name Gādhi. Satyavatī was born as the daughter

of Gādhi. She was married to Ṛcīka. Paraśurāma's

father, Jamadagni was the son of Ṛcīka. (M.B., Śānti

Parva, Chapter 49).

AJA IV . By the grace of Śiva Surabhī was able to purify

herself by penance. She then gave birth to Aja, Ekapāt,

Ahirbudhnya, Tvaṣṭā and Rudra. (Agni Purāṇa, Chap-

ter 18).

AJA V . In the first Manvantara [Footnote] *) One Manvantara is a period equal to 4,320,000 human years or equal to (1/4)th day of Brahmā. Svāyambhuva, in the

second Manvantara Svārociṣa and in the third Manv-

antara Uttama, were Manus. To the third Manu,

Uttama, were born as sons Aja, Paraśu, Dīpta and

others. (Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Part 3, Chapter 1).

Besides the above, the term Aja has been used to mean

Sūrya, Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Bīja (seed).

Aja m. (pl.): A class of ṛṣis.

Ajas mentioned among the Ṛṣis who

waited on Pitāmaha (Brahman) in his

Bhavana (ajāś caivāvimūḍhāś ca … /ṛṣayaḥ
