Aśva¹, a Dānava: I, 65 (§ 92), 2532 (Aṃśāvat.) (the 14th

of the forty sons of Danu and Kaśyapa); 67 (§ 130), 2649

(do.) (incarnated as king Aśoka). XII, 227, 8264 (among

the innumerable governors of Earth before Indra, mentioned

by Bali; Bali-Vāsava-saṃv.).

Aśva² = Śiva (1000 names²).

Aśva is the commonest word for ‘horse’ in the Vedic

literature. The horse is also called ‘the runner’ (atya), ‘the

swift’ (arvant), ‘the strong,’ for pulling (vājin), ‘the runner’

(sapti), and ‘the speeding’ (haya). The mare is termed aśvā,

atyā, arvatī, vaḍavā, etc. Horses of various colour were known,

dun (harita, hari), ruddy (aruṇa, aruṣa, piśaṅga, rohita), dark

brown (śyāva), white (śveta), etc. A white horse with black

ears is mentioned in the Atharvaveda as of special value.¹

Horses were highly prized,² and were not rare, as Roth³

thought, for as many as four hundred mares are mentioned in

one Dānastuti (‘Praise of Gifts’).⁴ They were on occasion

ornamented with pearls and gold.⁵

Mares were preferred for drawing chariots because of their

swiftness and sureness.⁶ They were also used for drawing

carts, but were not ordinarily so employed.⁷ No mention is

made of riding in battle, but for other purposes it was not

unknown.⁸

Horses were often kept in stalls,⁹ and fed there.¹⁰ But they

were also allowed to go out to grass,¹¹ and were then hobbled.¹²

They were watered to cool them after racing.¹³ Their attendants

are frequently referred to (aśva-pāla,¹⁴ aśva-pa,¹⁵ aśva-pati).¹⁶

Stallions were frequently castrated (vadhri).¹⁷

Besides reins (raśmayaḥ), reference is made to halters
