Vedic Reference

English

 Śalabha,  ‘locust, ’ appears in the Paippalāda recension of the
Atharvaveda^1 for Śarabha,  the reading of the received text,  and
is regarded by Whitney^2 as making better sense.
1) ix. 5,  9.
2) Translation of the Atharvaveda, 
534. But the mention of the goat in
the passage strongly supports Sarabha.
See Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa i. 2,  3,  9.
