The exact interpretation is doubtful. Roth² assigns to it the expression the sense of ‘driving with a single horse between the shafts.’ According to Sāyaṇa’s explanation, it means ‘driving with middling speed.’ It might mean ‘driving in the middle’—that is, ‘only half-way.’³ - [Previous: v2.c4.s4.156](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.156) - [Next: v2.c4.s4.158](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.158) - [Up: v2.c4.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.157](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.157) · Pramāṇa
