Vedic Reference

English

 Apa-skambha. — The word occurs only in one passage of the
Atharvaveda,  where the tip of it is mentioned as poisoned.
Roth^1 suggests that the fastening of the arrow-point to the
shaft is meant. Whitney^2 inclines to this version,  but suggests
corruption of text. Zimmer^3 follows Roth. Ludwig^4 renders
the word by ‘barb.’ Bloomfield^5 thinks it means ‘tearing
(arrow), ’ a sense deduced from the etymology.
1) St. Petersburg Dictionary,  s.v.
The passage is Av. iv. 6,  4.
2) Translation of the Atharvaveda, 
153.
3) Altindisches Leben,  300.
4) Translation of the Rigveda,  3,  512.
5) Hymns of the Atharvaveda,  375.
