Vedic Reference
English
Kṛśana, ‘pearl.’ In the Rigveda pearls are mentioned as
adorning the car of Savitṛ^1 as well as being used for the adorn-
ment of a horse.^2 Hence the horse is spoken of as the ‘pearled
one’ (kṛśanāvant).^3 The Atharvaveda^4 also refers to pearls, and
mentions that ‘pearl shell’ (śañkhaḥ kṛśanaḥ) won from the sea was
used as an amulet.^5 The Nighaṇṭu^6 renders the word as ‘gold.’
