Noun

स्तोम • (stóma) stem, m (root स्तु)

1. praise, eulogy
   • c. 1500 BCE – 1000 BCE, Ṛgveda 5.2.11:

     ए॒तं ते॒ स्तोमं॑ तुविजात॒ विप्रो॒ रथं॒ न धीरः॒ स्वपा॑ अतक्षम्।
     यदीद॑ग्ने॒ प्रति॒ त्वं दे॑व॒ हर्याः॒ स्व॑र्वतीर॒प ए॑ना जयेम॥

     etáṃ te stómaṃ tuvijāta vípro ráthaṃ ná dhī́raḥ svápā atakṣam.
     yádī́dagne práti tváṃ deva háryāḥ svàrvatīrapá enā jayema.

     This praise have I, a devout worshipper, composed for you, (Agni), who are born with many (faculties), as a steady dexterous (artisan fabricates) a car; if, divine Agni, you approve of it, then may we obtain abundant flowing water.

2. a fundamental form of chant in Vedic ritual consisting of 7 parts
3. mass, quantity, multitude
