In the Vedic texts Vrihi means ..................................... .

  • A.Wheat
  • B.Rice
  • C.Barley
  • D.Moong

Answer: B

In the Vedic texts vrihi means Rice.

Rice is called vrihi in the later Vedic texts, such as the Atharvaveda and the Brahmanas, which reflect the spread of settlement into the rice-growing middle Ganga valley. The word is the source of the name for rice in several languages.

Barley is yava, the main cereal of the Rigveda, and wheat is godhuma. Moong (green gram) is mudga. None of them is vrihi.
