v1.c3.s21.395

Roth’s⁵ interpretation of it as ‘exile’ seems clearly right in the passage which refers to the Parāvṛj as going south. Zimmer⁶ accepts Roth’s view for this passage, but in the others sees a reference to the child of a maiden exposed by her and in danger of being eaten by insects (vamrī). This view is supported by the fact that parāvṛkta seems to have the same sense,⁷ and is accepted by Oldenberg.⁸
