Vedic Reference

English

 Jyā-hroḍa occurs in the description of the arms of the
Vrātya in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa, ^1 and is also mentioned
in the Sūtras.^2 The sense is somewhat obscure,  for one Sūtra
describes it as a ‘bow not meant for use’ (ayogyaṃ dhanus), ^3
while the other speaks of it as a ‘bow without an arrow’
(dhanuṣka aniṣu).^4 Some sort of a bow,  therefore,  seems to be
meant.

2) Kātyāyana Śrauta Sūtra,  xxii. 4,
