Vedic Reference
EnglishCīpudru designates some substance mentioned in a hymn of
the Atharvaveda^1 as of use in healing. The commentator
Sāyaṇa reads Cīpadru, and explains the word as a kind of tree.
This interpretation is supported by the fact that the Kauśika
Sūtra^2 refers to the employment of splinters of Palāśa wood in
the ritual application of this hymn.^3 Whitney^4 suggests that
the form of the word should be Cīpuḍu.
