Grammar: masculine noun; the Hindi word used in the Uttara Parva text.
Meaning: the fruit aṅgūra, made in silver for a vrata and set in the lavaṇa-dhenu.
In the scriptures: in the Sarvaphalatyāga vrata, Bhagavān Śrī Kṛshṇa tells Yudhishṭhira to have sixteen fruits made in silver at the end of the year. Aṅgūra is the eighth of them (Bhavishya Purāṇa, Uttara Parva, Chapter 98). In the lavaṇa-dhenu, the dhenu of salt given as dāna in the account of Mudgala in Yamaloka, grapes (aṅgūra) are placed as its four teats (Bhavishya Purāṇa, Uttara Parva, Chapter 155).
