पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

Ṛkṣākā is a word occurring once in an obscure passage of the Atharvaveda. The sense is quite unknown. Weber thinks it refers to the ‘milky way,’ but his view rests on no evidence. Whitney despairs of the passage.
