v1.c3.s1.216

⁴ Zimmer, *Altindisches Leben*, 205, 215, finds this use—understanding Ārya as meant—in Atharvaveda, xix. 32, 8, and 62, 1, as well as in passages where Śūdrāryau is found. Lanman, in Whitney’s Translation of the Atharvaveda, 948, 1003, quotes his view with approval; but Whitney’s version leaves no doubt that he read and understood the text as Ārya, the Āryan, not the Vaiśya. For Whitney’s view, Av. iv. 20, 4. 8 may be cited; and so Roth, St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v., takes the passages. In Taittirīya Saṃhitā, iv. 3, 10, 8, Śūdrāryau must mean Śūdra and Vaiśya; but the Padapāṭha takes it as Arya, and so does Zimmer.
