Vedic Reference
EnglishDru-han, ‘wood-cutter, ’ seems to be meant by the word
druhantara in the Rigveda, ^1 where it is usually taken as druhaṃ-
tara, ‘fiend-overpowering.’ But as an epithet of paraśu, ‘axe, ’
the other sense (‘mighty wood-cutter’)^2 is more probable.^3
1) i. 127, 2.
2) But if this explanation is correct,
the word should have the accentuation
of the comparative. See Oldenberg,
Sacred Books of the East, 46, 132.
3) Cf. Oldenberg, Ṛgveda-Noten, 1, 130.
