### [v1.c3.s21.53](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.53)

Pajrā occurs once in the Rigveda,¹ where Ludwig² sees in the word the name of the wife of the sacrificer, Pajra, while Roth³ takes it to be an epithet (‘stout’) of the Soma plant. The sense is thus uncertain.
