Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *pr̥Haẓḍā́ṭṣ, from *pr̥Hás (“in front, before”) + *dā́ṭṣ (“worship, veneration”). See also पुरस् (purás) and दाश् (dā́ś).

Pronunciation

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /pu.ɾɐw.ɭ̆ɑ́ːɕ/
• (Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /pu.ɾoː.ɭ̆ɑːɕ/

Noun

पु॒रो॒ळाश् • (puroḷā́ś) stem, m

1. (Vedic) a cake of ground rice offered as oblation in a sacrifice
   • c. 1500 BCE – 1000 BCE, Ṛgveda 4.32.16:

     पु॒रो॒ळाशं॑ च नो॒ घसो॑ जो॒षया॑से॒ गिर॑श् च नः ।
     व॒धू॒युर् इ॑व॒ योष॑णाम् ॥

     puroḷā́śaṃ ca no gháso joṣáyāse gíraś ca naḥ.
     vadhūyúr iva yóṣaṇām.

     Eat our sacrificial cake: rejoice in the songs we sing.
     Like a suitor [delights in] young women.

Notes

Karen Thomson casts doubt on the translation "cake".

Declension

The nominative singular is पुरोळास् (puroḷā́s). Wackernagel reconstructs the instrumental plural as *पुरोळाद्भिस् (*puroḷādbhis).
