‘Whose remedy is Jalāsa,’ is an epithet of Rudra in the Rigveda and the Atharvaveda. The word Jālāsa occurs in a hymn of the Atharvaveda, where it denotes a remedy, perhaps, for a tumour or boil. The commentator this passage and the Kauśika Sūtra regard Jālāsa as
onmeaning ‘urine,’ which seems a probable interpretation. But Geldner thinks that rain-water, conceived as urine, is meant; and the Naighantuka identifies jalāsa and udaka ‘water.’
