But neither interpretation is either essential or even probable. The hymn is a condensed one, and may well be taken as celebrating two great victories of Sudās. There is a doubtful reference to the Paruṣṇī in the Atharvaveda.¹³ - [Previous: v1.c3.s21.506](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.506) - [Next: v1.c3.s21.508](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.508) - [Up: v1.c3.s21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.507](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.507) · Pramāṇa
