107 (112). To relieve a stinging pain.
[Bhṛgu.—sāuryam utā ’bdāivatam. ānuṣṭubham.]
Wanting in Pāipp. Used by Kāuç. (31. 27) with vi. 105, in a remedial rite against cold and catarrh.
Translated: Henry, 42, 117; Griffith, i. 379.
1. Down from the sky the seven rays of the sun make pass the waters, streams of ocean; these have made fall thy sting (çalyá).
The comm. regards çalya as used figuratively of a stinging disease: çalyavat pīḍākāriṇaṁ kāsaçleṣmādirogam. The seven rays are to him the seven forms of the sun, as given in TA. i. 7. 1.
