Vedic Reference
English
Puṣkara-sāda, ‘sitting on the lotus, ’ is the name of an
animal in the list of victims at the Aśvamedha (‘horse sacrifice’)
in the Yajurveda Saṃhitās.^1 It can hardly be a ‘snake, ’^2 but
rather either, as Roth^3 thinks, a ‘bird, ’ or perhaps, according
to the commentator on the Taittirīya Saṃhitā, ^1 a ‘bee.’
