v2.c19.234

*Kulāla*. For Vedic references see above (p. 43). Pāṇ IV. 3. 118 explains the formation of kaulālakaṁ (made by a potter). The Āśv. Gṛ. IV. 3. 18 says that all earthen vessels (kaulālam) of a deceased agnihotrin should be kept by his son. Why two names arose for the caste of potters it is difficult to explain.
