c10.s1.4

² vii. 38. 6. *Ugra* (p. 83, vol. i) in one passage of the *Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad* (vi. 3, 37-38) seems to have a technical force denoting a ‘man in authority’; or according to Max-Muller’s rendering, *Policeman*. Roth compares a passage in the *Rig-Veda*, vii. 38-6 where, however, the word has simply the general sense of ‘mighty man’. Bothlingk in his rendering of the *Upaniṣad* treats the word as merely adjectival.
