- sacred grass (barhis)objectThe strewn grass on which the gods are invited to sit at the sacrifice.195linked passages

- noose (pāśa)objectThe noose or snare, above all Varuṇa's and Death's: the binding weapon a hymn asks to be released from rather than one it asks to be given.67linked passages
- armour (varman)objectArmour as a worn thing, literal mail and the figurative armour an amulet or a god is said to be; the object, not the shelter asked for.53linked passages
- jar (kalaśa)objectThe jar or pitcher into which the pressed soma runs and out of which it is drunk; the commonest vessel of Mandala 9.41linked passages
- drum (dundubhi)objectThe war drum, addressed directly in the battle charms and told to roar the enemy away.17linked passages

- offering ladle (sruc)objectThe offering ladle and spoon -- sruc, sruva -- with which butter is lifted and poured into the fire.11linked passages
- cup (camasa)objectThe drinking cup of the sacrifice, the one the Ṛbhus made fourfold and the one the gods are asked to drink from.10linked passages
- udumbara amulet (audumbara)objectThe amulet of udumbara wood, worn in AVS 19.31 for prosperity, cattle and fatness in the cow-stall, and addressed as prosperity itself. All seven occurrences are in that one hymn.7linked passages
- bowstring (jyā)objectThe bowstring, addressed in its own right in the weapon hymns and the standing image for anything drawn taut.7linked passages
- axe (svadhiti)objectThe axe or hatchet: the tool that fells the tree and the blade that jointed the sacrificial horse.6linked passages

- wooden soma tub (droṇakalaśa)objectThe trough-shaped wooden vessel the pressed soma is collected in. Named in the apparatus inventory at VS 18.21, gained by the Vayu cups at VS 19.27, and listed with the kettles and the drinking-vessels at AVS 9.6.17. The VS 18.21 attestation is read evidence but not an alias: there the word sits inside `droṇakalaśaśca`, reachable only by the substring pass, which production runs on the Samaveda alone.2linked passages
- vayu cup (vāyavya)objectThe cups belonging to Vayu, drawn in the soma rite. Two attestations, in two Vedas, both read: "camasāś ca me vāyavyāni ca me" in the apparatus inventory at VS 18.21, and Whitney's "the drinking-vessels those of Vāyu" at AVS 9.6.17. The bare stem `vāyavya` is refused: one of its three substring hits is `sakthyor vāyavyaḥ`, an anatomical term inside the horse's dismemberment.2linked passages
- ritual brick (iṣṭakā)objectThe brick the fire is piled out of, addressed directly and only in the Yajurveda: "imā me agna iṣṭakā dhenavaḥ santu", let these bricks of mine, Agni, be milch-cows (VS 17.2). Token-matched once and read once; its four substring hits are 40% intrusions and are not relied on.1linked passages

How this list was scoped1
`passage_count` counts DISTINCT passages reaching the object through the lexical, conceptual and ritual predicates this surface counts, and is the same figure the detail view reports. It is NULL, never 0, where no passage reaches it: the mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so a null is a lower bound and not an assertion that the corpus is silent.
