c5.s4.4

No part of Tvaṣṭṛ's physical form is mentioned except his arm or hand, it being characteristic of him to hold an iron axe in his hand (8, 29³). He is once described as yoking his two steeds to his chariot and shining greatly (6, 47¹⁹). Tvaṣṭṛ is beautiful-armed (*sugabhasti*: 6, 49⁹), or beautiful-handed (*supāṇi*: predominantly applied to him and Savitṛ).
