v1.c3.s17.216
Tārkṣya is mentioned in the Rigveda¹ as a divine steed, apparently the sun conceived as a horse.² But Foy,³ judging by the name, apparently a patronymic of Tṛkṣi, who is known from the Rigveda⁴ onwards as a descendant of Trasadasyu, thinks that a real steed, the property of Tṛkṣi, is meant; but this is not very probable.⁵ See also Tārukṣya.
