Ekadhana
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
In the Somayāgas[1] 3 to 11 earthen jugs are used to keep water collected from a running stream on the day of pressing the stalks for the juice. It is done early in the morning. It is later mixed with the soma juice. The earthen jug used for this purpose has been named as ‘ekadhana’. It is difficult to give its derivative meaning.
