Vedic Reference
EnglishPaḍ-bīśa, the ‘foot-fetter’ of a horse in five passages, two
in the Rigveda, ^1 and one each in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, ^2
the Chāndogya Upaniṣad, ^3 and the Śāṅkhāyana Āraṇyaka.^4
Elsewhere^5 its uses are metaphorical. According to Roth, ^6 the
literal sense is ‘foot-fastening’ (paḍ being = pad, ‘foot, ’ and
bīśa, written vīśa in the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā, being connected
with the Latin vincire, ‘bind’). Pischel^7 objects that the
sense of ‘foot-fastening’ involves the absurdity, in the Upaniṣad
passages, of a fine horse from the Sindhu (Indus) being spoken
of as tearing up the peg to which it is fastened. He suggests
instead the meaning of ‘hobble, ’ which must be right.^8

8) He explains the first part of the
word as derived from paś, ‘tie.’ Cf.
Macdoneli, Vedic Grammar, p. 34 (top).
But the form paḍ may be due to a
false analogy, and the sense of ‘foot-
fastener’ may express ‘hobble’ quite
satisfactorily
it is not confined to a
rope tied to a peg in the ground.
