Brāhmaṇa, as, ī, am (fr. brahman), belonging or relating to a Brāhman, Brāhmanical, befitting or becoming a Brāhman; given by a Brāhman; relating to prayer or religious worship; (as), m. one who has divine knowledge, a theologian, priest, a Brāhman or man belonging to the first of the four original divisions of the Hindū body; an epithet of Agni; N. of the twenty-eighth Nakṣatra; (ī), f. a Brāh- maness, the wife of a Brāhman; a woman of the Brāhmanical caste; the shrub Clerodendrum Sipho- nanthus; a species of grass, Trigonella Corniculata (= pṛkkā); a kind of vegetable, Ruta Graveolens; a kind of wasp (= varaṭī); a kind of large-headed ant; a kind of lizard with a red tail [cf. brāhma- ṇikā]; N. of a river, = brahmāṇī; (according to Nīla-kaṇṭha on Mahā-bh. Āśvamedhika-parva 924) = buddhi; (am), n. = brahma, that which is divine, the divine (Ved.); sacred or divine power (Ved.); that portion of the Veda, as distinct from the Mantra portion, which was composed by and for Brāhmans and contains rules for the employment of the Mantras or hymns at various sacrifices, detailed explanations of these sacrifices, their origin and meaning, with tedious illustrations in the way of legends and old stories; (this Brāhmaṇa portion of the Veda is a kind of Hindū Talmud, but like the Mantra portion it was śruta, i. e. heard by the sages to whom it was revealed and is therefore regarded as an integral part of śruti or revelation; it is said by Sāyaṇa to contain two parts, 1. vidhi, rules or direc- tions for rites; 2. artha-vāda, explanatory remarks); N. of a well-known class of Vedic works in prose which contain the Brāhmaṇa portion of the Veda as explained above, (each of the four Vedas has its own Brāhmaṇa appended to it; the Brāhmaṇa of the Bahvṛcas or priests of the Ṛg-veda is still preserved in two works, viz. the Aitareya, sometimes called Āśvalāyana, consisting of eight Pañcikās or pentads of Adhyāyas, subdivided into 285 sections or Khaṇḍas, and the Kauṣītaki-Brāhmaṇa, sometimes called Śāṅ- khāyana, which two Brāhmaṇas do not follow the order of the hymns of the Ṛg-veda, but quote them as they are required for the Hotṛ priest, part of the Aitareya being also a kind of commentary on the commencement of the Ṛg-veda, and the latter portion giving an elaborate description of the Abhi- sheka ceremony or inauguration of kings; the white Yajur-veda has the Śatapatha-Brāhmaṇa, which is per- haps the most modern and interesting of all these compositions; and the black Yajur-veda has the Brāh- maṇa of the Taittirīyas, which though distinct from its Saṃhitā differs little from it; the Sāma-veda has eight Brāhmaṇas, the best known of which are the Prauḍha or Pañca-viṃśa and the Ṣaḍ-viṃśa; the Atharva-veda has one Brāhmaṇa called Go-patha); the Soma vessel of the Brahman priest; a society or assemblage of Brāhmans, a conclave.
