Vedic Reference
English
Dhmātṛ (lit. ‘blower’) occurs twice in one passage of the
Rigveda^1 in the two forms, dhmātā, nom. ‘smelter, ’ and
dhmātarī, which, according to the Padapāṭha, stands for
dhmātari, a locative probably meaning ‘in the smelting furnace.’^2
Geldner, ^3 Bartholomae, ^4 and Oldenburg^5 regard the latter form
as a locative infinitive, ‘in the smelting.’ Ludwig^6 and Neisser^7
think dhmātarī is a nom. sing. masc. used in the same sense as
dhmātā. Smelting is also clearly referred to, ^8 and the smelter
is described as using the wings of birds (parṇa śakunānām) to
fan the flame.^9 That the art was widely applied is shown by
the fact that reference is made to arrows with points of Ayas, ^10
to kettles which were fashioned of the same metal and could be
placed upon a fire, ^11 and to Soma cups of beaten Ayas.^12
