Vedic Reference
English
Tārpya denotes, in the Atharvaveda^1 and later, ^2 a garment
made of some material, the nature of which is uncertain. The
commentators on the Kātyāyana Śrauta Sūtra and the Śata-
patha Brāhmaṇa^3 suggest that a linen garment, or one thrice
soaked in ghee, or one made of the tṛpā or of the triparṇa plant,
is meant: it is doubtful whether the sense was known even to
the author of the Brāhmaṇa himself. Goldstücker's^4 rendering
of the word is ‘silken garment, ’ which Eggeling^5 is inclined
to accept.^6
