v2.c4.s2.2
Bakura is mentioned in one passage of the Rigveda,¹ where it is said that the Aśvins made light for the Āryan by blowing their Bakura against the Dasyus. According to the Nirukta,² the thunderbolt¹ is meant; but much more probable is Roth’s³ view, that the object blown was a musical instrument. See also Bākura.
