v1.c3.s11.1006

² viii. 20, 24; 22, 12. Elsewhere Krivi is doubtful in sense. In several passages (i. 30, 1; viii. 87, 1; ix. 9, 6, and perhaps i. 166, 6, where krivir-datī is an epithet of lightning) Oldenberg, Rgveda-Noten, i. 166, 341, understands the word to mean ‘horse.’ Elsewhere (ii. 17, 6; 22, 2; viii. 51, 8) he takes it to be a proper name, while in v. 44, 4, he is doubtful. In the passages last cited this view may very well be correct.
