Vedic Reference
English
Pajra is the name of the family from which Kakṣīvant
sprang (Pajriya). It is mentioned several times in the Rigveda.^1
According to Pischel, ^2 the epithet pṛkṣa-yāma^3 applied to them
means ‘carrying out brilliant sacrificial performances, ’ which
won for them Śrutaratha's generosity. In two passages^4
Roth^5 sees a Pajra called Sāmaṅ. This is uncertain, but in
any case a Pajra seems clearly alluded to. Elsewhere^6 it is
very doubtful whether the word is a proper name at all. In
the Śāṭyāyana^7 the Pajras are declared to be Aṅgirases.
1) i. 117, 10
122, 7. 8
126, 4. 5.
2) Vedische Studien, 1, 97, 98.
3) Rv. i. 127, 8, where Roth (St.
Petersburg Dictionary, s.v.) thinks this
compound is probably a proper name.
4) Rv. viii. 4, 17
6, 47.
5) St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v. pajra.
6) Rv. i. 190, 5, where the reference
is clearly hostile and contemptuous.
7) Cited by Sāyaṇa on Rv. i. 51, 4.
