According to Roth,³ it corresponds to the Greek βωμός, on which the chariot rested when out of use. The word Rathavāhana-vāha is employed in the sense of the two horses that draw the stand.⁴ Weber⁵ thinks it was used to convey the war chariot to the scene of action. - [Previous: v2.c4.s5.122](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.122) - [Next: v2.c4.s5.124](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.124) - [Up: v2.c4.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.123](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.123) · Pramāṇa
