Etymology
From, from. Cognate with 🇨🇬, whence 🇨🇬.

Monier-Williams, Lubotsky and Mayrhofer consider this term to be an adjective-participle meaning "loving, cherishing". However, Vedic does not clearly distinguish between nouns and some adjectives and some participles. Moreover, this term appears in RV 4.41.9.2 where it isn't applied (as an adjective) to any noun, but is attached to the genitive of the noun to convey "lover of treasure". This shows that the word has been employed purely as a noun in at least one instance.

Noun

 * 1) lover of, one who is desirous of ; one who loves or cherishes
