Vedic Reference
EnglishŚarya, ^1 Śaryā, ^2 seem in the Rigveda to denote an ‘arrow.’^3
Perhaps, also, Śaryā^4 and Śarya^5 (neut.) mean the ‘wicker-
work’ in the Soma sieve, but the exact sense of the passages is
doubtful.^6
1) i. 119, 10, where the sense is not
certain.
2) i. 148, 4
x. 178, 3. Cf. Nirukta
v. 4
x. 29.
3) As derived from 1. Śara, and
meaning literally ‘made from a reed.’
4) Rv. ix. 110, 5
x. 61, 3.
5) Rv. ix. 14, 4
68, 2.
6) Hillebrandt
Vedische Mythologie, 1,
52, takes śaryāṇi in Rv. ix. 68, 2, as
denoting the outer husk of the Soma
plant. See also Geldner, Vedische Studien,
2, 255, n. 1.
