1. Atka. — This word occurs frequently in the Rigveda, but its

sense is doubtful. Roth, Grassmann, Ludwig, Zimmer,¹ and

others render it as ‘garment’ in several passages,² when the

expressions ‘put on’ (vyā or prati muñc) or ‘put off’ (muñc) are

used of it, and when it is said to be ‘woven’ (vyuta)³ or ‘well-

fitting’ (surabhi).⁴ On the other hand, Pischel⁵ denies that this

sense occurs, and otherwise explains the passages. He takes

the term to mean ‘axe’ in four places.⁶ [Footnote] 1) Altindisches Leben, 262. [Footnote] 2) i. 95, 7; ii. 35, 14; iv. 18, 5;

v. 55, 6; 74, 5; vi. 29, 3; viii. 41, 7;

ix. 101, 14; 107, 13; Sāmaveda,

ii. 1193. [Footnote] 3) Rv. i. 122, 2. [Footnote] 4) Rv. vi. 29, 3; x. 123, 7. [Footnote] 5) Vedische Studien, 2, 193-204. [Footnote] 6) Rv. v. 55, 6; vi. 33, 3; x. 49, 3; 99, 9.

Cf. Oldenberg, Ṛgveda-Noten, 1, 94, n. 1.

2. Atka. — In two passages of the Rigveda¹ this word is

regarded as a proper name by Roth, Grassmann, and Ludwig.

But Zimmer² explains it in these passages as the ‘armour of a

warrior as a whole,’ and Pischel³ thinks that in both cases an

‘axe’ is meant. [Footnote] 1) x. 49, 3; 99, 9. [Footnote] 2) Altindisches Leben, 262, 297. [Footnote] 3) Vedische Studien, 2, 195.
