Vedic Reference
English
Sva-sara, according to the St. Petersburg Dictionary,
denotes ‘cattle stall, ’^1 and more generally ‘dwelling-place, ’
‘house, ’^2 and then ‘nest of birds.’^3 Geldner, ^4 however, shows
that the real sense is the ‘wandering at will’ of cattle, more
precisely their ‘grazing in the morning, ’^5 and in the case of
birds their ‘early flight’ from the nest, ^6 while metaphorically
it is applied first to the morning pressing of Soma and then to
all three pressings.^7
