Meaning and origin of Eeshika
Eeshika is usually traced to the Sanskrit iṣīkā, a reed or stalk of grass, which also came to mean an arrow and a painter's brush. Some parents read it instead as a feminine form linked to īśa, 'lord', giving 'belonging to God', though that explanation is less secure. In the Mahabharata, Ashwatthama turns a blade of grass into a deadly weapon, the aishika astra.
