*1 pituṃ* < *pitum* < *pitu* [noun], accusative, singular, masculine
“food.” पितुं नु स्तोषं महो धर्माणं तविषीम् । यस्य त्रितो व्योजसा वृत्रं विपर्वमर्दयत् ॥ pituṃ nu stoṣam maho dharmāṇaṃ taviṣīm | yasya trito vy ojasā vṛtraṃ viparvam ardayat ||RV “I glorify Pitu, the great, the upholder, the strong, by whose invigorating power Trita slew themutilated Vṛtra.” Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya Anna-devatā = anna, the divinity presidingover food, or merely food; Pitu = pālakam, that which nourishes; 2 verse 3 Sanatkumara samhita कृष्ण-मन्त्रा मया लब्धा सरस्-तोये पितुः परे ते सर्वे साधिता यत्नान् मन्त्र-राजाद्यो मया *kṛṣṇa-mantrā mayā labdhā saras-toye pituḥ pare* *te sarve sādhitā yatnān mantra-rājādyo mayā* *kṛṣṇa <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/krishna#purana>-mantrāḥ—* Kṛṣṇa-mantras <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/mantra#purana>;* mayā <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/maya#purana>—*by me;* labdhā—* obtained;* saras <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sara#purana>-toye—*by the water's edge;* pituḥ—*of the father;* pare—*others;* te—*they;* sarve—* all;* sādhitāḥ <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sadhita#purana>—* attained;* yatnāt—*by effort;* mantra <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/mantra#purana>-* *rājādyaḥ—*beginning with the king of mantras;* mayā—*by me. . . . from my father I carefully learned the king of mantras and many other Kṛṣṇa-mantras as we sat by the water. 4 Verse 3.221 Manu smrithi पिता यस्य निवृत्तः स्याज् जीवेच्चापि पितामहः । पितुः स नाम सङ्कीर्त्य कीर्तयेत् प्रपितामहम् ॥ २२१ ॥ *pitā** yasya nivṛttaḥ syāj jīveccāpi pitāmahaḥ* | *pituḥ sa nāma saṅkīrtya kīrtayet prapitāmaham* || 221 || He whose father is dead, but grandfather is living, should mention the great-grandfather after having pronounced the name of the father.—(221) KR Mr Gopalakrishnan wants to justify some how that he is in level and he is harmless; already I wrote to him, that we other than the three mosquitoes, we do not bother about anything but read and pass through; but it was the act of Gopalakrishnan his high pedestal observations of my English and followed by the other one and plus ,which prompted me to index their follies; now he himself turns the table and also adds that mistakes are common etc, like devils ’preaching the script; and where was his brain then? And I shall point out content errors always I feel all are responsible their writing which may stay for millennium to come and we are answerable to the posterity. So Gopalakrishnan who does not do any home work, but only dries his tail as others, miss a lot which I point out and I am least bothered about his English and am not soared about his Malayalam too. Now those who had read would have understood who is hasty by this time; Gopalakrishnan as usual, slipped into the well; Pitru, Pitu and pita are all genetic root words in Sanskrit, having several meanings and used only in some context; Pitru is sradham concerned as shown in (4) above, pita is handled nicely by Manu. Pitu is used in Rig Vedam (1) and sanat samhita reflects its meaning also. GOTRA is only for LIVE and in sradham generation alone that matters than the gotra; Gotra is for alive mainly, as well as, important from PITA angle; and Pitu is version of Pita as well as feed as food as seen above. PITU GOTRA is not a slip, as visioned by Gopalakrishnan, but GOTRA fed in connection with father being narrated. Thank you NB Before finding fault learn sir. K Rajaram IRS 2524 NB2 I am not finding fault in your Q and A; You are writing misinformation mainly misleading readers to believe as you wrote; for example among so many immediately I do remember is your line of Mount Everest is not the tallest mountain; THAAT YOU OUGHT TO HAVE VERIFIED; it is very old data where Kilimanjaro from its plateau sea level though only 15000 ft appeared to be taller; but Himalaya is measured 29000 feet from its foot hill. So you always write misinformation only as you want to reflect your superiority and you err always like PITU , wants to present yourself in better light. No hard feelings; Compiler means not copy and paste anything; it is reading, thinking. analysing. fixing error and write the genuine facts. But what you do is CP of some kids who are right in their view but you are 80+ and so without knowing much shall refrain from anything which u dont understand and shall not pretend. ask your retd canteen worker from jumping.
