⁸⁷ *Cf.* Rv. vi. 28, 5; x. 27, 12; Av. v. 17, 12. Possibly in Rv. i. 109, 2, there is a reference to a generous brother giving his sister a dowry in order to get her a husband. *Cf.* Hopkins, *Journal of the American Oriental Society*, 13, 345; Muir, *Sanskrit Texts*, 5, 459; Kaegi, *Der Rigveda*, n. 352; Zimmer, *op. cit.*, 310, n. It is doubtful whether *anuḍeyī* in Rv. x. 85, 6, means ‘dowry’ or not. See Whitney, Translation of the Atharvaveda, 741.
