Vedic Reference
EnglishĀśuṃ-ga in the Atharvaveda^1 seems to denote some sort of
animal. It is qualified by the word ‘young’ (śiśuka), and
Roth^2 suggests that it may mean a bird (‘swift-flying’), or
that the expression denotes ‘a foal going to its dam’ (āśu-ga).
Sāyaṇa, however, reads the accompanying word as śuśuka,
which he assumes to denote an animal. Bloomfield^3 renders
the two words ‘a swift (āśuṃga) foal (śiśuka), ’ thus agreeing
with one of Roth's suggestions in sense, though not in the
explanation of Aśuṃga.
