Vedic Reference
EnglishVyadhvara, ‘perforating, ’ designates a worm in one passage
of the Atharvaveda, ^1 where there seems to be no good reason
to alter the reading to Vyadvara, though Whitney^2 thinks that
it may rather be connected with vi-adhvan^3 than with the root
vyadh, ‘pierce.’^4 The term occurs with Maśaka, ‘fly, ’ in the
Hiraṇyakeśi Gṛhya Sūtra, ^5 and perhaps also in another passage
of the Atharvaveda, ^6 where, however, both Whitney^7 and
Shaṅkar Paṇḍit read Vyadvara.
1) ii. 31, 4.
2) Translation of the Atharvaveda, 74.
3) This would mean ‘diverging from
the road, ’ ‘devious.’
4) The Padapāṭha analyzes the word
as vi-adhvara.
5) ii. 16, 3.
6) vi. 50, 3.
7) Op. cit., 318, Cf. 135.
Cf. also Bloomfield, Hymns of the
Atharvaveda, 316, 361, 487

Whitney, op. cit., 318.
