AW: stirrup in Sanskrit

[Axel Michaels]

Thanks a lot, Frits, but I personally don't use the horse for riding, only the bike.

Hi Axel c.s.,

Please look at M. Sparreboom, Chariots in the Veda, Leiden: Brill, 1985,
especially pp. 89-90 and the indices. You will find a lot of references
and discussion, and other publications quoted or mentioned.

good luck and don't fall off your horse without or even with them,

Frits
