Vedic Reference
English
Kusīdin is a designation of the ‘usurer’ found in the Śata-
patha Brāhmaṇa^1 and the Nirukta, ^2 and often in the Sūtras.
Jolly, ^3 referring doubtless to the expression kusīda apratītta, ^4 ‘a
loan not yet repaid, ’ occurring in connexion with an-ṛṇa, ‘free
from debt, ’ appears to be right in taking Kusīda to have the
sense of ‘loan’ in the Taittirīya Saṃhitā. The rate of interest
on loans is not specified before the Sūtra period.^5 Cf. Ṛṇa.
