spelling tiriya not recorded in BHS but metrically demanded in Mmk 〔107.27, 28〕),
(1) adj. oblique, transverse: ākāśagamanaṃ cāpi tiryaṃ cāpi nabhastale Mmk 〔148.20〕 (vs
perhaps adv., or adj. with -gamanam understood)
(2) subst., animal (sub-human): tiryāṇa (gen. pl.

Suv 〔48.1〕
RP 〔27.10〕 (text here tīr°)
〔32.8〕. The stem tirya has been recorded only in verses. [Page254-a] The AMg. form tiri, with ‘saṃprasāraṇa’, suggests the origin of the penultimate i of tiriccha, °cchāna.
Vedic Reference
English
Tirya occurs in the Atharvaveda^1 as an epithet of Karambha,
‘gruel.’ It is probably equivalent to tilya, ‘made of sesamum, ’
as rendered by Roth^2 and Whitney, ^3 but tiriya is read by
Roth^4 in the Rāja-nighaṇṭu as a kind of rice.
1) iv. 7, 3.
2) St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v.
3) Translation of the Atharvaveda,
155.
4) See Whitney, loc. cit., with Lan-
man's additional note. Bloomfield,
Hymns of the Atharvaveda, 377, construes
the adjective with viṣam, and renders
‘the poison which comes in a horizontal
direction’ (cf. tiryañc). Grill, Hundert
Lieder, ^2 121, amends to atiriya, ‘over-
flowing.’
