Vra, according to Roth,[१] means ‘troop’ in the Rigveda[२] and the Atharvaveda.[३] Zimmer[४] sees in the word (in the feminine form of vrā) a designation in one passage of the village host which formed part of the Viś, and was composed of relations (su-bandhu). On the other hand, Pischel[५] thinks that in all the passages Vrā means ‘female,’ used either of animals[६] or of women who go to the feast (Samana),[७] or courtezans (viśyā, ‘of the people’),[८] or, metaphorically,[९] the hymns compared with courtezans; these senses are perhaps adequate.
