Vedic Reference
EnglishVrāja-pati is found in one passage of the Rigveda, ^1 where it
is said that comrades attend Indra, as the Kulapas the Vrāja-
pati, when he goes about. Zimmer^2 thinks that this refers to
the heads of families being subordinate in war to the village
headman (Grāmaṇī), but Whitney^3 seems to be right in seeing
merely the chieftain surrounded by the leading men, the family
heads, not necessarily merely a village headman. Vrāja alone
occurs in one passage of the Atharvaveda, ^4 adverbially in the
sense of ‘in troops.’
1) x. 179, 2 = Av. vii. 72, 2.
2) Altindisches Leben, 171.
3) Translation of the Atharvaveda, 436.
4) i. 16, 1. Cf. Whitney, op. cit., 17.
