⁶ x. 96, 10. 11. In x. 96, 10, Roth takes pastyoḥ to denote the two parts of the Soma press, but Pischel, 2, 211, accepts Sāyaṇa’s rendering ‘heaven and earth.’ In the compounds tri-pastya of Agni, Rv. viii. 39, 8; vāja-pastya of Pūṣan, vi. 58, 2, of Soma, ix. 98, 12; and vīra-pastya, v. 50, 4, the primitive word may very well be pastya, not pastyā.
