Vegin (वेगिन्) refers to “speedy� (viz., gusts of wind), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.22. Accordingly as Sitā said to Śiva:—“[...] the most unbearable season of the advent of clouds (󲹲岵 or Ჹ岵) has arrived with clusters of clouds of diverse hues, and their music reverberating in the sky and the various quarters. [...] The speedy (vegin) gusts of wind (ٲ) scattering sprays of water mingled with nectarine drops from the Kadamba flowers captivate the heart as they blow�.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
