droṇakalaśa

wooden soma tub (droṇakalaśa)

The 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.
