Vedic Reference
English
Bhurij (used in the dual only) is a word of somewhat
doubtful sense. Roth^1 regarded it as meaning in some
passages^2 ‘scissors, ’ and in others^3 an apparatus consisting of
two arms used by the chariot-maker for fixing the wood at
which he worked, being of the nature of a carpenter's vice. See
also Ksura
1) St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v. Cf.
Muir, Sanskrit Texts, 5, 466.
2) Rv. viii. 4, 16
Av. xx. 127, 4.
3) Rv. iv. 2, 14
ix. 26, 4
71, 5.
where Pischel, Vedische Studien, 1, 239-
243, considers that the shafts of the
chariot are meant (cf. Gobhila Gṛhya
Sūtra, iii. 4, 31, whence it appears that
the chariot-pole, spoken of as having
two arms, was forked). The same view
regarding the passages cited in n. 2
gives the sense of a stropping apparatus,
consisting of two pieces of wood, be-
tween which a grindstone moves.
Cf. Zimmer, Altindisches Leben, 252,
255.
