Vedic Reference
English
Upānasa is in the Atharvaveda^1 opposed to Akṣa, and must
mean something like ‘the body of the wagon, though Sāyaṇa
suggests that it signifies either a ‘granary’ or a ‘wagon full of
grain.’ In the Rigveda, ^2 where the word occurs only once, its
sense is doubtful. Pischel^3 explains the form which occurs
there not as an adjective, but as an infinitive.
