v1.c3.s12.554

Glau occurs in the Atharvaveda¹ and in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa² as the name of some symptom of a disease, probably, as Bloomfield³ thinks, ‘boils.’ In the one passage of the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā,⁴ where it is found the sense is obscure, some part of the sacrificial victim being perhaps meant.⁵ Cf. Galunta.
