Abhri (‘spade’) is a Vedic word¹ of frequent occurrence.

Various possible materials and forms are enumerated in the

Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.² It may be made of bamboo or of the wood

of Vikaṅkata or Udumbara. It may be a span or a cubit in size.

It is hollow, and either one or both edges are sharp. From

this it would appear that the handle was made of some wood,

but the head of some metal. [Footnote] 1) Av. iv. 7, 5. 6 (abhri-khāte is ‘dug

out with a spade,’ not ‘prepared

ground’ with Roth, St. Petersburg

Dictionary, s.v.); x. 4, 14; hiraṇya-

yībhir abhribhiḥ, ‘with golden spades’);

etc. [Footnote] 2) vi. 3, 1, 30 et seq.
