Anas. — This is the term1 used to designate the draft wagon, as opposed to the chariot (ratha) for war or sport, with which it is sometimes expressly contrasted,2 though Indra is once said to be ‘seated in a wagon’ (anar-viś)3 instead of on a chariot. Though Uṣas, Goddess of Dawn, sometimes rides on a chariot (ratha), the wagon is her characteristic vehicle.4 Of its con- struction we know little. The bridal wagon on which Sūryā, the daughter of the Sun, was borne in the marriage hymn in the Rigveda had a covering (Chadis).5 The axle-box (Kha) is also mentioned.6 In the Atharvaveda7 Vipatha appears to denote a rough vehicle used for bad tracks. The wagon was usually drawn by oxen (Anaḍvāh), as in wedding processions.8 The wagon of Dawn is described as drawn by ruddy cows or bulls.9[Footnote] 1) Rv. iv. 30, 10; x. 85, 10; 86, 18, etc.; Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, i. 1, 2, 5, etc.; Chāndogya Upaniṣad, vii. 15, 1; Kauṣītaki Upaniṣad, iii. 8, etc. [Footnote] 2) Rv. iii. 33, 9.
