Salt,' is never mentioned in the Rigveda, only once in the Atharvaveda, and not after that until the latest part of the Brāhmaṇas, where it is regarded as of extremely high value. This silence in the early period is somewhat surprising if the regions then occupied by the Indians were the Panjab and the Indus valley, where salt abounds; it would at first sight seem less curious if the home of the early Vedic Indian is taken to be Kurukçetra. It is, however, quite conceivable that a necessary commodity might happen to be passed over without literary mention in a region where it is very common, but to be referred to in a locality where it is not found, and consequently becomes highly prized.
Is mentioned as a pupil of Vidarbhīkaundinya in the first two Vamśas (lists of teachers) in the Brhadāranyaka Upanisad. It is possibly the same man that is referred to regarding a point of ritual in the Aitareya Aranyaka. A grammarian of this name is mentioned in the Nirukta.
Cyclic,’ is a term applied to the Akhyana, or ‘tale,’ which is to be recited at the Aśvamedha (‘horse sacrifice’), and to be repeated at intervals throughout the year. It is mentioned in the śatapatha Brāhmana and in the Sūtras.
Is the name of an aquatic bird mentioned in the list of- victims at the Aśvamedha (‘ horse sacrifice ’) in the Yajurveda Samhitās. Perhaps the ‘ pelican' is meant.
Are the names in the Yajurveda Samhitās of a victim at the Aśvamedha (‘horse sacrifice’). What it was is unknown : the commentator Mahīdhara thinks it was a kind of mouse; Sāyana explains it as a ‘water-cock’ Possiby, if Sāyaṇa’s version of the parallel word Manthāvala is to be trusted, the ‘flying fox’ may be meant.
