Vedic Reference
EnglishJalāṣa-bheṣaja, ‘whose remedy is Jalāṣa, ’ is an epithet of
Rudra in the Rigveda^1 and the Atharvaveda.^2 The word
Jālāṣa occurs in a hymn of the Atharvaveda, ^3 where it denotes
a remedy, perhaps, for a tumour or boil.^4 The commentator
on this passage and the Kauśika Sūtra^5 regard Jālāṣa as
meaning ‘urine, ’ which seems a probable interpretation.^6 But
Geldner^7 thinks that rain-water, conceived as urine, is meant
and the Naighaṇṭuka^8 identifies jalāṣa and udaka ‘water.’
