Etymology
[edit]Monier-Williams transcribes this cryptic Rigvedic hapax legomenon as जझ्झती (jajhjhatī) and interprets it as a noun meaning "splashing or rushing waters".[1] Apte on the other hand constructs a root जज्झ् (jajjh, “to make a dashing sound”) and interprets the lemma as *जज्झति (*jajjhati, thematic 3rd person singular present).[2] Notwithstanding these interpretations, it is very likely that the term is in fact an Old Indo Aryan dialectal parallel of Vedic जक्षत् (jákṣat, “laughing”, present participle), [3][4] being derived from Proto-Indo-Aryan *źʰáȷ́źʰatiH (reduplicated feminine present participle of *źʰas- (“to laugh”)). See also जक्षत् (jákṣat), हस् (has, “to laugh”).

अन्वेनाँ अह विद्युतो मरुतो जज्झतीर्इव भानुरर्त त्मना दिवः- ā́ rukmáirā́ yudhā́ nára ṛṣvā́ ṛṣṭī́rasṛkṣata.
ánvenām̐ áha vidyúto marúto jájjhatīriva bhānúrarta tmánā diváḥ. - The lofty Heroes cast their spears and weapons bright with gleaming gold.
A splendour of its own accord followed close after these Maruts, like laughing lightning flashes from the sky.
