Vedic Reference
English1. Svadhiti in the Rigveda^1 denotes the ‘axe’ or ‘knife’
used for dissecting the sacrificial horse. In all the other
passages in that Saṃhitā^2 the sense of ‘axe’ for cutting wood
is adequate
reference is made in one place^3 to sharpening the
axe on the whetstone (kṣṇotra). In the Atharvaveda^4 the term
seems once to denote the copper (lohita)^5 knife used to mark
the ears of cattle
the carpenter's knife or axe is also twice
referred to there.^6 Later the word means ‘axe’ generally.^7
As a weapon it does not appear at all.^8
