It must be remembered that the Vedic period had a contemporaneous literature of a popular character, though little of it is preserved in the texts. There is a fragment of it in a verse preserved in KB. xxvii, 1, which has escaped the notice of Lindner, of Aufrecht (ZDMG. xxxiv, 175–6Google Scholar), and the Vedic Concordance alike, and which contains the form yāmaki, clearly of popular character.
