Bloomfield² renders ‘not caused by cutting’ and ‘caused by cutting.’ Formerly³ he suggested ‘tumour’ or ‘boil.’ Whitney⁴ thinks that two varieties of Jāyānya are meant. Ludwig⁵ reads with Sāyaṇa akṣita, which he renders by ‘not firmly established’ in the invalid. Zimmer⁶ finds it a disease Kṣata. - [Previous: v1.c3.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.65) - [Next: v1.c3.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.67) - [Up: v1.c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3) ## Linked texts (1) - [Atharvavedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.atharva) — Atharvan & Aṅgiras, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.66) · Pramāṇa
