Vedic Reference
English
Bakura is mentioned in one passage of the Rigveda, ^1 where
it is said that the Aśvins made light for the Āryan by blowing
their Bakura against the Dasyus. According to the Nirukta, ^2
the thunderbolt^1 is meant
but much more probable is Roth's^3
view, that the object blown was a musical instrument. See
also Bākura.
