- the frame of a door
c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE,
Ṛgveda 9.5.5:
- उद्आतैर्जिहते बृहद्द्वारो देवीर्हिरण्ययीः।
पवमानेन सुष्टुताः॥- udātairjihate bṛhaddvāro devīrhiraṇyayīḥ.
pavamānena suṣṭutāḥ. - The golden, the Celestial Doors are lifted with their frames on high,
By Pavamana glorified.
NB. that in this quotation, the feminine noun is, extremely bizarrely, declined as a masculine instrumental plural in -aiḥ (<-air> before a voiced consonant). The expected form is ā́tābhiḥ.
