<p>2405:201:A40B:85E:653D:3A41:BC3E:3673: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Short description|Vedic Sanskrit term for a major tribe in the Rigveda}}<br /> '''''Anu''''' was a major tribe in the [[Rigveda]], [[Mandala 1|RV 1]].108.8, [[Mandala 8|RV 8]].10.5 (both times listed together with the [[Druhyu]]) and, later also in the [[Mahabharata]]. One of the Anu kings, King Anga, was a [[chakravarti]] ([[Aitareya Brahmana|AB]] 8.22).<br /> <br /> ''Ānava'', the [[vrddhi]] derivation of ''Anu'' appears as the name of a ruler in the Rigvedic account of the [[Battle of the Ten Kings]] (7.18.13) and at 8.4.1 with the Turvaśa (tribe). The meaning ánu &quot;living, human&quot; (Naighantu) cannot be substantiated for the Rigveda &lt;ref&gt;Mayrhofer, Etym. Dict. 1986, pt. 1, p. 74&lt;/ref&gt; and may have been derived from the tribal name.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Anu}}<br /> [[Category:Rigvedic tribes]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Hindu-bio-stub}}</div>
