Occurs twice in one hymn of the Atharvaveda in the description of a house. It seems to mean bundles of straw or reeds used to thatch the house and render the sides wind and weather proof.
occurs once in the Rigveda, where it designates the occupation of a woman, as opposed to that of her son, who is a poet (kām), and to that of his father, who is a physician (bhisaj). Yāska renders the word by ‘maker of groats ’ (saktu-kārikā), and Roth, Grassmann, Zimmer, as well as others, connect it with the operation of grinding corn. Pischel, however, who points out that corn was not ground between two stones, but beaten on a stone with a pestle (drsad), considers that Upala-praksinī denotes a woman that assisted at the crushing of Soma (cf. Upara). Von Schroeder, who more correctly points out that there is no objection to regarding upala as the mortar in which the corn was placed and then beaten with the pestle, renders the word literally as ‘ one who fills the (lower) stone (with corn).’
Is found in two passages of the Rigveda meaning ‘ berry,’ used with a mystic signification, and in neither case with any certain reference to the berry of the fig-tree. In the Brhadāranyaka Upanisad the general sense of ‘berry’ is not necessary, and the special sense of ‘berry’ of the Peepal is quite possible: the latter meaning is perhaps intended in the śatapatha Brāhmana. In the Atharvaveda the feminine form of the word, Pippalī, appears denoting berries used as a remedy for wounds, like Arundhatī.
