Vedic Reference
English
Sṛṇī̆ is found certainly in one, ^1 and probably also in two
other^2 passages of the Rigveda. The sense appears to be
‘sickle.’ In one other passage Sṛṇya is coupled with jetā:^3 the
sense is doubtful, Roth^4 conjecturing cetā, and Oldenberg^5
pointing out that chettā is also possible. Hopkins^6 thinks that
a ‘hook’ is here meant.
1) i. 58, 4, where sṛṇyā, according to
Geldner, Vedische Studien, 1, 116, n. 1,
and to Pischel, ibid., 2, 111, stands for
sṛṇyābhiḥ, and, as an adjective agreeing
with juhūbhiḥ, means ‘sickle-shaped
sacrificial ladles.’ But this is very
doubtful.
2) x. 101, 3 (Nirukta, v. 28)
106, 6
(ibid., xiii. 5). It is certain in Śatapatha
Brāhmaṇa, vii. 2, 2, 5.
3) iv. 20, 5.
4) Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgen-
ländischen Gesellschaft, 48, 111.
5) Ṛgveda-Noten, 1, 284.
6) Journal of the American Oriental
Society, 17, 86, n.
