Vedic Reference
English
Petva is found twice in the Atharvaveda.^1 In the first
passage reference is made to its vāja, which Zimmer^2 argues
can only mean ‘strength, ’ ‘swiftness, ’ though naturally the
sense of ‘male power’ would seem more appropriate in a spell
intended to remove lack of virility. In the second passage the
Petva is mentioned as overcoming the horse (see Ubhayādant),
a miracle which has a parallel in the Rigveda, ^3 where the
Petva overcomes the female^4 lion. The animal also occurs in
the list of victims at the Aśvamedha (‘horse sacrifice’) in the
Yajurveda Saṃhitās, ^5 and occasionally elsewhere.^6 It appears
to be the ‘ram’ or the ‘wether, ’ the latter^7 being the sense
given to it by the commentator on the Taittirīya Saṃhitā.
But there is no conclusive evidence in favour of this meaning,
while on the whole the passage of the Atharvaveda, in which
vāja is found, accords best with the sense of ‘ram.’ Hopkins, ^8
however, renders the word as ‘goat, ’ though for what reason is
not clear. Whether it is connected in any way with Pitva or
Pidva is quite uncertain.
1) iv. 4, 8
v. 19, 2.
2) Altindisches Leben, 229, 230.
3) vii. 18, 17.
4) Siṃhyam in the text. Hopkins,
Journal of the American Oriental Society,
15, 264, takes it as masculine, and as
a play on śiṃyum, the name of one of
the kings or peoples defeated in the
battle of the ten kings. But, admitting
the play, siṃhī as fem. seems to be still
more pointed than siṃha, contrasting
with the masculine petva.
5) Taittirīya Saṃhitā, v. 5, 22
1.
Though not in the parallel passage of
the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā, it appears to
be found in the Kāṭhaka, according
to Weber's note in his edition of the
Taittirīya Saṃhitā.
6) Taittirīya Saṃhitā, vi. 2, 8, 4
Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā, xxix. 58. 59

8) Loc. cit.
India, Old and New, 58.
He thinks the born of the goat pierced
the lion. Curiously enough, Whitney,
Translation of the Atharvaveda, 253.
renders the word a ‘goat’ in Av.
v. 19, 2, but (p. 151) as ‘ram’ in iv. 4, 8
and Bloomfield Hymns of the Atharva-
veda, 434, speaks Both of a ‘ram’ and a
‘goat’ in connexion with v. 19, 2.
