Pṛthi, Pṛthī, or Pṛthu is the name of a semi-mythical personage who is mentioned in the Rigveda and later as a Ṛṣi, and more specially as the inventor of agriculture and the lord of both worlds, of men and of animals. He bears in several passages the epithet Vainya, ‘descendant of Vena,’ and must probably be regarded as a culture hero rather than as a real man. According to other accounts, he was the first of consecrated kings. Cf. Pārthiva.
