Vedic Reference
English
Viṣṭhā-vrājin is a word of doubtful significance in the Śata-
patha Brāhmaṇa.^1 According to Sāyaṇa, it means ‘remaining
in one and the same place’
if this is right, the rendering of the
St. Petersburg Dictionary and of Böhtlingk's Dictionary, ‘one
whose herd is stationary, ’ seems legitimate. But, as Eggeling^2
points out, the Kāṇva recension of the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa in
another passage^3 seems to treat the word as denoting a disease:
thus Viṣṭhāvrājin may mean ‘one afflicted by dysentery.’
