Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
kṣatra (nt.) = kṣetra, field. Cf. Pali DN 〔3.93.13〕 khettānaṃ patī ti … khattiyo (in an etymology), which shows that a popular association of kṣatriya with kṣetra (or of their MIndic equivalents) existed. Doubtless as a result of this, the secondary etymological blend-form kṣatra occurs often in LV, as in 〔208.13〕
〔283.8〕
〔352.18〕
〔354.14, 22〕
〔355.16〕
〔357.4〕
〔366.8〕
in all these all mss. and Lefm. kṣa°
in LV 〔290.8, 15〕
〔353.1〕 Lefm. kṣe° but most mss. kṣa°. The mss. of Mv also—sometimes nearly all of them—read kṣa°, as in v.l. for kṣe° at 〔i.121.9, 11, 12〕
〔122.1, 2〕. In all these cases there is no doubt of the mg. field
it seems to me that Lefm. was right in recognizing the existence in BHS of kṣatra in this sense, because of its frequent occurrence, which the etym. in DN supports.

Vedic Reference
English
1. Kṣatra, in the general sense of ‘dominion, ’ ‘rule, ’ ‘power, ’
as exercised by gods and men, occurs frequently from the
Rigveda^1 onwards. The word is also found in the concrete
sense of ‘rulers’ in the Rigveda^2 and later
^3 but in no case
does it in the Rigveda certainly^4 mean what it regularly denotes
in the later Saṃhitās, ^5 the ruling class as opposed to the priests
(Brahman), the subject people (Viś, Vaiśya), and the servile
class (Śūdra). See also Kṣatriya. A Kṣatra-pati is several
times mentioned^6 as an equivalent of ‘king.’
