c10.s1.3

¹ *R.V.* x. 97. 11. *Jīvagṛh* ‘seizing alive’ is according to Roth (St Petersberg Dictionary) the term for a police official. But although this sense is rendered possible by the mention of the *madhyamasi* perhaps ‘arbitrator’ in the same passage, it is neither necessary nor probable. (*V.I.*, vol. i, p. 288.)
