Vedic Reference
English
Ninditāśva (‘possessing contemptible steeds’) is the name of
a patron in the Rigveda.^1 The name may suggest connexion
with Iran, but such a reference is not at all necessary.^2
Sāyaṇa ingeniously turns the name probably a nickname
into a compliment by rendering it ‘one who puts to shame the
horses of his rivals.’
1) viii. 1, 30.
2) Hopkins, Journal of the American
Oriental Society, 17, 90. Cf. Ludwing,
Translation of the Rigveda, 3, 159.
