Vedic Reference
English
Dhūr-ṣad means, according to Roth, ^1 ‘standing under the
yoke’ and so ‘burden-bearing, ’ and thus metaphorically
‘promoting, ’ in the passages of the Rigveda^2 where it occurs.
More probable, however, is the view^3 that it means ‘sitting on
the pole, ’ that is, ‘charioteer, ’ with reference to the fact that
to get near his horses the charioteer might well go forward
and sit on the pole or even on the yoke.^4

2) i. 143, 7
ii. 2, 1
34, 4 (but cf. Pischel.
Vedische Studien, 1, 301). In x. 132, 7,
Roth renders ‘resting on the yoke.’
3) Cf. Hopkins, Journal of the American
Oriental Society, 13, 237 et seq.
