Naaf

नाफ़
said naaf
also written: Naaf-e-aahu
Meaning

The navel; also the musk-gland of the deer (the source of the musk-pod).

Usage & notes

Naaf is the navel and, in naaf-e-aahu, the deer's musk-source; its link to hidden fragrance and to the navel as a centre lends it both beauty and metaphysical resonance.
