Vedic Reference
EnglishVyacha in go-vyacha, the name of one of the victims at the
Puruṣamedha (‘human sacrifice’) in the Yajurveda, ^1 is of
uncertain signification. According to Sāyaṇa, ^2 the compound
denotes a ‘driver out of cows.’ Perhaps it means a ‘tormentor
of cows, ’ as the St. Petersburg Dictionary takes it. Weber^3
renders it as ‘knacker of cows, ’ Eggeling as ‘one who
approaches cows.’
