Vedic Reference
English
Kesara-prābandhā. In the list of the crimes of the Vaita-
havyas narrated in the Atharvaveda^1 is the cooking of the last
she-goat (caramājām) of Kesaraprābandhā, who may presum-
ably be deemed to have been a woman, ‘having braided hair.’^2
Ludwig, ^3 followed by Whitney, ^4 appears to amend the passage
(carama-jām) as meaning ‘the last-born calf’ of Kesaraprā-
bandhā, a cow. But this interpretation does not suit the name
so well.
