Vedic Reference
EnglishOtu in Vedic literature^1 denotes the ‘woof’ in weaving and
corresponds to Tantu, ‘the warp, ’ the roots vā, ^2 ‘to weave, ’
and tan, ^3 to stretch, ’ from which these two terms are derived,
being used in parallel senses. In the process of weaving a
shuttle (Tasara) was used. The ‘weaver’ is termed vāya, ^4 and
the ‘loom’ veman.^5 A wooden peg (Mayūkha) was used to
stretch the web on, while lead was employed as a weight to
extend it.^6
The work of weaving was probably the special care of
women.^7 A metaphor in the Atharvaveda^8 personifies Night
and Day as two sisters weaving the web of the year, the
nights serving as warp, the days as woof.
