Vedic Reference
EnglishMadhyama-vah occurs in one passage of the Rigveda^1 as an
epithet of the chariot. The exact interpretation is doubtful.
Roth^2 assigns to it the expression the sense of ‘driving with a
single horse between the shafts.’ According to Sāyana's
explanation, it means ‘driving with middling speed.’ It might
mean ‘driving in the middle’ — that is, ‘only half-way.’^3
1) ii. 29, 4.
2) St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v.
Cf. Oldenberg, Ṛgveda-Noten, 1, 210.
The context seems to require the sense
of ‘keeping away’ from the sacrifice.
Cf. Pūrvavah.
