Rishi

Names recorded in the seer slot of the traditional apparatus. Some of them are not seers, and each row says so.

How this list was scoped2
  • 113 of the 729 :Rishi nodes are NOT seers: the Anukramani's rishi slot also holds the being a hymn addresses, so it contains 58 deities, 21 abstractions, 13 mythic beings, 11 deity groups, 5 plants or animals, 3 collectives and 2 objects. Every row carries `is_seer` and `non_seer_kind`; a false there must not be rendered as a seer, and it is not a reason to render the node as a deity either.

    measured
  • `passage_count` counts DISTINCT passages reaching the object through the lexical, conceptual and ritual predicates this surface counts, and is the same figure the detail view reports. It is NULL, never 0, where no passage reaches it: the mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so a null is a lower bound and not an assertion that the corpus is silent.
