Vedic Reference
EnglishNau is the regular word in the Rigveda^1 and later^2 for a
‘boat’ or ‘ship.’ In the great majority of cases the ship was
merely a boat for crossing rivers, though no doubt a large boat
was needed for crossing many of the broad rivers of the Panjab
as well as the Yamunā and Gaṅgā. Often no doubt the Nau
was a mere dug-out canoe (dāru).^3 It is certainly against the
theory^4 of the existence in Vedic times of an extensive sea
trade that there is no mention of any of the parts of a ship, such
as masts and sails, except the oar (Aritra), Yet there are some
allusions indicating a trade more extensive than that implied
by boats used for crossing rivers. The Atharvaveda^5 compares
the ruin of a kingdom where Brahmins are oppressed to the
sinking of a ship which is leaking (bhinnā)
though the language
here employed can be made to fit the theory that the ship was
only a canoe, it cannot naturally be so interpreted. Moreover,
there is mention made in the Rigveda^6 of men who go to the
ocean (Samudra) eager for gain (saniṣyavaḥ). It is not altogether
satisfactory to restrict such references with Zimmer^7 to the
broad stream of the Indus after the union of that river with
the tributaries of the Panjab. In the Rigveda^8 too it is said
that the Aśvins rescued Bhujyu in the ocean with a ship of
a hundred oars (śatāritra). It is not easy to refuse to recognize
here the existence of larger vessels with many oars used for
sea voyages. The Baudhāyana Dharma Sūtra, ^9 at any rate,
clearly refers to maritime navigation. See also Samudra.
