Root

तन्द् • (tand)

1. to become relaxed
   • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 1.138.1:

     प्रप्र॑ पू॒ष्णस्तु॑विजा॒तस्य॑ शस्यते महि॒त्वम॑स्य त॒वसो॒ न त॑न्दते स्तो॒त्रम॑स्य॒ न त॑न्दते।
     अर्चा॑मि सुम्न॒यन्न॒हमन्त्यू॑तिं मयो॒भुव॑म्।
     विश्व॑स्य॒ यो मन॑ आयुयु॒वे म॒खो दे॒व आ॑युयु॒वे म॒खः॥

     pra-pra pūṣṇas tuvijātasya śasyate mahitvam asya tavaso na tandate stotram asya na tandate.
     arcāmi sumnayann aham antyūtim mayobhuvam.
     viśvasya yo mana āyuyuve makho deva āyuyuve makhaḥ.

     Strong Pūṣan's majesty is lauded evermore, the glory of his lordly might is never faint, his song of praise is never faint.
     Seeking felicity I laud him nigh to help, the source, of bliss,
     Who, Vigorous one, hath drawn to him the hearts of all, drawn them, the Vigorous One, the God.

2. to slacken
