Vedic Reference
EnglishVṛtra-ghna occurs in a passage of the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa, ^1
where in a Gāthā reciting the prowess of Bharata it is said that
he bound horses on the Yamunā (Jumna) and Gaṅgā (Ganges)
Vṛtraghne, which Sāyaṇa renders ‘at Vṛtraghna, ’ as the name
of a place. Roth, ^2 however, seems right in interpreting the
form as a dative, ‘for the slayer of Vṛtra’ — i.e., Indra.
1) viii. 23, 5.
2) St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v. Cf. Aufrecht, Aitarecya Brāhmaṇa, 425.
