vāyavya

vayu cup (vāyavya)

The 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.
