    Aśani. — Zimmer1 cites this word from the Rigveda2 as

    denoting a sling stone, and compares a similar use of Adri.3

    In either case, however, the weapons are mythical, being used

    in descriptions of Indra's deeds. Schrader4 also cites aśan in this

    sense, but no Vedic passage requires this sense. [Footnote] 1) Altindisches Leben, 301. [Footnote] 2) vi. 6, 5. Cf. 1, 121, 9. [Footnote] 3) i. 51, 3. [Footnote] 4) Prehistoric Antiquities, 221.
