In Vedic literature there are different names meaning the lotus or its parts. Here, I will limit myself to the study of the lotus in the Rgveda. In the Rgveda the lotus or its parts are mentioned eight times, and in two varieties, known to us as blue and white. Though its occurrences are fex in number, it is very interesting to note what kind of word meaning lotus has been used, in what occurrences the flower has been mentioned, and the semantic connections between the lotus and the other elements of the hymn. Through the analysis of these elements, I will attempt to clarify the interpretation of the stanzas themselves. I will also indicate the importance and the semantic use of lotus
