Amā-jur is an epithet¹ denoting maidens ‘who grow old at

home’ without finding husbands, or, as they are elsewhere

called, ‘who sit with their father’ (pitṛ-ṣad). A well-known

example of such was Ghoṣā.² [Footnote] 1) Rv. ii. 17, 7; viii. 21, 15;

x. 37, 3. [Footnote] 2) Rv. i. 117, 7. Cf. Zimmer, Altin-

disches Leben, 305.
