Vedic Reference
English
Taudī in one passage of the Atharvaveda^1 appears to denote
a plant.
1) x. 4, 24. Cf. St. Petersburg Dic-
tionary, s.v. Whitney, Translation of
the Atharvaveda, 578, leaves the word
untranslated. Bloomfield, Hymns of
the Atharvaveda, 608, suggests that it is
a fanciful name, ‘the piercer, since it
is associated with ghṛtācī, ‘dripping
with ghee, which is clearly such a
word.
