v1.c3.s12.6
Khaḍga is the reading in the Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā¹ of the name of an animal which, in the text of the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā,² variously appears as Khaṅga and Khaḍga. The rhinoceros seems clearly to be meant.³ In the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra⁴ a rhinoceros hide is mentioned as the covering of a chariot.
