Sanskrit[edit]

Alternative forms[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *sinźʰás, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sinȷ́ʰás, from dialectal Proto-Indo-European *sinǵʰo-, ultimately a borrowing from a Central Asian substrate language. Cognate with Old Armenian ինձ (inj). Less likely, a nonadjacent metathesis of हिंसा (hiṃsā).

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

सिंह (siṃhám

  1. the lion
    • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 5.83.4:
      रथीव कशयाश्वाँ अभिक्षिपन्नाविर्दूतान्कृणुते वर्ष्याँ अह ।
      दूरात्सिंहस्य स्तनथा उदीरते यत्पर्जन्यः कृणुते वर्ष्यं नभः ॥
      rathīva kaśayāśvām̐ abhikṣipannāvirdūtānkṛṇute varṣyām̐ aha .
      dūrātsiṃhasya stanathā udīrate yatparjanyaḥ kṛṇute varṣyaṃ nabhaḥ .
      Like a car-driver whipping on his horses, he makes the messengers of rain spring forward.
      The roaring of the lion resounds from far when Parjanya fills the sky with rain-cloud.
