Zimmer² thinks that this refers to the heads of families being subordinate in war to the village headman (Grāmaṇī), but Whitney³ seems to be right in seeing merely the chieftain surrounded by the leading men, the family heads, not necessarily merely a village headman. Vrāja alone occurs in one passage of the Atharvaveda,⁴ adverbially in the sense of ‘in troops.’ - [Previous: v2.c4.s7.1434](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.1434) - [Next: v2.c4.s7.1436](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.1436) - [Up: v2.c4.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.1435](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s7.1435) · Pramāṇa
