2. Kośa denotes the body of a chariot.¹ Presumably it was fastened to the axles, but it was probably not very secure, as the body of Pūṣan’s chariot is said not to fall.² The ropes³ used to fasten the Kośa are perhaps referred to in the word akṣa-naḥ.⁴ By synecdoche this word also denotes the whole chariot.⁵ See also Vandhura, Ratha.
