    Alāyya is a word occurring in an obscure verse of the Rigveda,1

    and appearing to be a proper name. Hillebrandt,2 however,

    amends the text so as to remove the name. The St. Petersburg

    Dictionary suggests that it refers to Indra. Pischel3 holds that

    it is the name of a person whose axe was stolen, and for whom

    the hymn was written as a spell for the recovery of the axe. [Footnote] 1) ix. 67, 20. [Footnote] 2) Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgen-
