== Etymology == The etymological origin of the richa is the Sanskrit word Ṛc (ऋच्), which means to praise. Richa, is therefore, one ṛc after the other. Other meanings of ṛc are splendor, worship, or a hymn. Richa can also refer to a verbal composition of celestial sounds called shrutis; the Gayatri Mantra is a rucha as well.
