Vedic Reference
EnglishUṣṭi, Uṣṭra. — Both of these words, of which the former is
quite rare, ^1 must have the same sense. Roth^2 and Aufrecht^3
hold that in the Rigveda^4 and the Brāhmaṇas^5 the sense is
‘humped bull’ or ‘buffalo, ’ but the former thinks that in the
Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā^6 the sense is doubtful, and ‘camel’ may be
meant. Hopkins^7 is decidedly of opinion that the sense in
every case is ‘camel.’ The animal was used as a beast of
burden yoked in fours.^8
