Tābuva (ताबुव) is the name in the Atharvaveda1 of a remedy against snake poison. The Paippalāda recension has Tāvuca instead. Weber thinks that the original form was Tāthuva, from the root sthā, ‘stand’, and that it meant ‘stopping’; but this is hardly probable.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
