      Pronunciation

      Noun

      पिपासा • (pipāsā́) stem, f

      1. thirst
        • c. 700 BCE, Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa 12.2.3.12:
          तानि वा एतानि यज्ञारण्यानि यज्ञकृंतत्राणि। तानि शतं शतं रथाह्न्यानि। अन्तरेण तानि ये विद्वांस उपयन्ति। यथाऽऽरण्यान्यां मुग्धाँश्चरतोऽशनाया वा पिपासा वा पाप्मानो रक्षांसि सचेरन्। एवं हैवैनानशनाया वा पिपासा वा पाप्मानो रक्षांसि सचंते। अथ ये विद्वांसो यथा प्रवाहात्प्रवाहं अभयादभयम्। एवं हैव ते देवतायै देवतामुपसंयन्ति। ते स्वस्ति स्वर्गं लोकं समश्नुवते॥
          tāni vā etāni yajñāraṇyāni yajñakṛṃtatrāṇi. tāni śataṃ śataṃ rathāhnyāni. antareṇa tāni ye vidvāṃsa upayanti. yathāʼʼraṇyānyāṃ mugdhām̐ścaratoʼśanāyā vā pipāsā vā pāpmāno rakṣāṃsi saceran. evaṃ haivainānaśanāyā vā pipāsā vā pāpmāno rakṣāṃsi sacaṃte. atha ye vidvāṃso yathā pravāhātpravāhaṃ abhayādabhayam. evaṃ haiva te devatāyai devatāmupasaṃyanti. te svasti svargaṃ lokaṃ samaśnuvate.
          Such, indeed, are the wilds and ravines of yajña, and they take hundreds upon hundreds of days’ carriage-drives; and if any venture into them without knowledge, then hunger or thirst, evil-doers and demons harass them, like demons would harass foolish men wandering in a wild forest; but if those who know this do so, they pass from one duty to another, as from one stream into another, and from one safe place to another, and obtain well-being, the world of heaven.
