Vedic Reference
English
Daśoṇi appears in one passage of the Rigveda^1 apparently
as a favourite of Indra and as opposed to the Paṇis, who fell
in hundreds for his benefit. The view of Ludwig^2 that he is
here the priest of the Paṇis is very improbable. Elsewhere
his name is simply mentioned.^3 See also Daśoṇya.
1) vi. 20, 4, 8.
2) Translation of the Rigveda, 3, 156
5, 107.
3) x. 96, 12, where, however, the word
may be merely an epithet of Soma.
