Vedic Reference
EnglishKṣa-pāvan, ‘protector of the earth, ’^1 is an epithet of a king, ^2

showing the function of the king as the protector of the tribal
territory.

nominative singular as kṣapāvān, which
would be the regular form from a stem
kṣapāvant
but it is probably an irregu-
larity for kṣapāvā. Cf. Oldenberg.
