But though the Paippalāda recension has the same text, it is clear that we must read Dṛti with Roth² and Whitney.³ Ludwig⁴ renders the word ‘dancer,’ which makes no sense in the context. - [Previous: v1.c3.s20.638](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.638) - [Next: v1.c3.s20.640](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.640) - [Up: v1.c3.s20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20) ## Cites (1) - [Atharvavedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.atharva*paippalada.6.18.3) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.639](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.639) · Pramāṇa
