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. - [Previous: v1.c3.s14.151](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s14.151) - [Next: v1.c3.s14.153](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s14.153) - [Up: v1.c3.s14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s14.152](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s14.152) · Pramāṇa
