Etymology

From the root स्तु (stu, “to praise, laud”) +‎ -म (-ma).

Pronunciation

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /stɐ́w.mɐ/
• (Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /ˈs̪t̪oː.mɐ/

Noun

स्तोम • (stóma) stem, m (root स्तु)

1. praise, eulogy
   • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 5.2.11:

     ए॒तं ते॒ स्तोमं॑ तुविजात॒ विप्रो॒ रथं॒ न धीर॒: स्वपा॑ अतक्षम्।
     यदीद॑ग्ने॒ प्रति॒ त्वं दे॑व॒ हर्या॒: स्व॑र्वतीर॒प ए॑ना जयेम॥

     etáṃ te stómaṃ tuvijāta vípro ráthaṃ ná dhī́ra: svápā atakṣam.
     yádī́dagne práti tváṃ deva háryā: 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
