in the Atharvaveda seems to denote some sort of animal. It is qualified by the word ‘young’ (śiśuka), and Roth suggests that it may mean a bird (‘swift-flying’), or that the expression denotes ‘a foal going to its dam’ (ιūśu-ga). Sāyana, however, reads the accompanying word as śuśuka, which he assumes to denote an animal. Bloomfield renders the two words ‘ a swift (aśumga) foal (śiśuka),' thus agreeing with one of Roth’s suggestions in sense, though not in the explanation of Aśumga.
