Vedic Reference
English
Alāyya is a word occurring in an obscure verse of the Rigveda, ^1
and appearing to be a proper name. Hillebrandt, ^2 however,
amends the text so as to remove the name. The St. Petersburg
Dictionary suggests that it refers to Indra. Pischel^3 holds that
it is the name of a person whose axe was stolen, and for whom
the hymn was written as a spell for the recovery of the axe.
