"The word gandharva was used in the Vedic times to describe musical language and the gandharva were the mythical beings who had mastery over it. In the Rgveda, the outward appearance of the gandharva is left vague, but in later writing he is shown with a horse's head and a man's torso who lives in a supernatural world of his own. The gandharva (used also in plural) are drinkers who steal the soma and carry off women and nymphs, apsaras. The gandharva have chariots and horses because they are the swift carriers of musical experience to the inner sun. The are half-men because they live in a world between that of men and the gods. The gandharva are remembered in the horse-headed Greek centaur - wild drinkers, sensual, ravishers of women." – Subhash Kak, 2002
