Cīpudru designates some substance mentioned in a hymn of the Atharvaveda¹ as of use in healing. The commentator Sāyaṇa reads Cīpadru, and explains the word as a kind of tree. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the Kauśika Sūtra² refers to the employment of splinters of Palāśa wood in the ritual application of this hymn.³ Whitney⁴ suggests that the form of the word should be Cīpuḍu.
