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. - [Previous: v2.c4.s2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.1) - [Next: v2.c4.s2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.3) - [Up: v2.c4.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.2) · Pramāṇa
