Dhmātṛ (lit. ‘blower’) occurs twice in one passage of the Rigveda[१] in the two forms, dhmātā, nom. ‘smelter,’ and dhmātarī, which, according to the Padapāṭha, stands for dhmātari, a locative probably meaning ‘in the smelting furnace.’[२] Geldner,[३] Bartholomae,[४] and Oldenburg[५] regard the latter form as a locative infinitive, ‘in the smelting.’ Ludwig[६] and Neisser[७] think dhmātarī is a nom. sing. masc. used in the same sense as dhmātā. Smelting is also clearly referred to,[८] and the smelter is described as using the wings of birds (parṇa śakunānām) to fan the flame.[९] That the art was widely applied is shown by the fact that reference is made to arrows with points of Ayas,[१०] to kettles which were fashioned of the same metal and could be placed upon a fire,[११] and to Soma cups of beaten Ayas.[१२]
