The Religion of the Veda: The Ancient Religion of India (from Rig-Veda to Upanishads) c7.14

c7.14

¹ The expression *chándo ná* here and at 8. 7. 36 is to be rendered so, or simply “like a poem.” There is no occasion for an adjectival stem *chánda* in the sense of “singer,” or the like, as the lexicons and translators generally assume.
