dakshina
Dakshina (, means "south, southern",〔See entry for (South ), English-Sanskrit Dictionary, Spoken Sanskrit, Germany (2010)〕 but also refers to a Tantric concept right-hand path,〔Bhattacharya, N. N. History of the Tantric Religion. Second Revised Edition. Manohar Publications, Delhi, 1999. ISBN 81-7304-025-7〕 as well as a Vedic concept of donation or payment for the services of a priest, spiritual guide or teacher.〔(dakSiNa ) Cologne Digital Sanskrit Lexicon, Cologne, Germany (2006)〕
==Etymology and description==
As a Vedic concept, the donation originally consisted of a cow (according to Kātyāyana Śrautasūtra 15, Lāṭyāyana Śrautasūtra 8.1.2). The term itself is derived from this, the feminine ' being a term for a cow able to calve and give milk (a prolific cow, milch-cow) in the Rigveda.
Dakshina is personified as a goddess along with Brahmanaspati, Indra and Soma in RV 1.18.5 and RV 10.103.8, and is the reputed author of RV 10.107 according to the Anukramani.
In later literature, in the Manusmrti and in the Ramayana, the term ''dakshina'' acquires a more general meaning of "thanks" or "a gift".
