From Proto-Indo-Iranian*HáH, from Proto-Indo-European*h₂éd(“to, at”). Cognate with Proto-Germanic*at (whence Englishat) and Latinad. The final *d in the Proto-Indo-European term regularly alternated with *h₁, the latter appearing before certain consonants originally. Indo-Iranian languages generalized the form ending in *h₁ and other fellow Indo-European languages generalized the form ending in *d.[1]
Sarasvatī, chief and pure of rivers, flowing from the mountains to the ocean understood the request of Nahuṣa, and distributing riches among the many existing beings, milked for him butter and water.
