v2.c4.s8.962

² Taittirīya Saṃhitā, v. 5, 10, 2; Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā, ii. 13, 21, has in the parallel passage *citra*, probably by error. Cf. Zimmer, *Altindisches Leben*, 95; Whitney, Translation of the Atharva-veda, 134. Perhaps Śvitra, in the list of victims at the Aśvamedha (‘horse sacrifice’) in the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā, xxiv. 39, has this sense; but the St. Petersburg Dictionary explains it as ‘a certain domestic animal,’ or, generally, ‘a white animal.’
