Vedic Reference

English

 Upa-kvasa is the name in the Atharvaveda (vi. 50,  2) of a
noxious insect injurious to seed. Sāyaṇa,  however,  reads the
word as a plural adjective (a-pakvasaḥ = a-dagdāḥ),  but the
Paippalāda recension supports the form upakvasaḥ.
Cf. Zimmer,  Altindisches Leben,  237
Bloomfield,  Hymns of the Atharvaveda, 
486
 Whitney's Translation of the
Atharvaveda,  318.
