People in Ancient Kangleipak (Antique Manipur) worshipped her.[3] She is the goddess of civilization, courage, having children, making things with hands, love, winning, war and wisdom.[4][5][6][7] She is married to Nongpok Ningthou.[3]

Etymology

[change | change source]
The word "Pānthoibī", written in Meetei Mayek abugida

The Meitei word "Panthoibi" (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯢꯕꯤ or ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ) comes from three words, "Pan" (ꯄꯥꯟ), "Thoi" (ꯊꯣꯢ or ꯊꯣꯏ) and "Bi" (ꯕꯤ).

"Pan" (ꯄꯥꯟ) means to rule over something.[12]

"Thoi" (ꯊꯣꯢ or ꯊꯣꯏ) means to exceed, or to transcend, or to win, or to be very good at something, or to increase.[13][14]

In Meitei language, "Bi" ("Bee") (ꯕꯤ) or "Pi" ("Pee") (ꯄꯤ) means that the rest of the word has a feminine gender. For example, Thoibi is a name given to girls. It has "Thoi" and "Bi".[15]

The word "Thoibi" (ꯊꯣꯢꯕꯤ or ꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ) also means being perfect or beautiful and good at doing things.[16]
