M3 · meaning shifts "vīratara" is derived from "vīra" with the tarap suffix — a related word whose meaning shifts, so both meanings are shown.

a hero (as opp. to a god), RTL. 272 n.
vīra—tara mfn. (vīra-) stronger, bolder
vīra—tara m. a great or a greater hero, RV.; MBh.
Gender counterpart
The kosha attests this stem in the feminine, the masculine, and the neuter — the same name serves without alteration.
