The wheel of a chariot or wagon

चक्र (cakra) [Printed book page 1-252]
Cakra, the ‘wheel’ of a chariot or wagon, is repeatedly

mentioned from the Rigveda¹ onwards, often in a metaphorical

sense. The wheel was fixed on the axle (Akṣa) when the

chariot was required for use; this required considerable

strength, as is shown by a reference in the Rigveda.² The

wheel consisted normally of spokes (Ara), and a nave (Nābhi),³

in the opening (Kha) of which the end of the axle (Āṇi) was

inserted. An indication of the importance attached to the

strength of the wheel is the celebration of the car of the god

Pūṣan as having a wheel that suffers no damage.⁴ The usual

number of wheels was two,⁵ but in seven passages of the Rigveda⁶

a chariot is called ‘three-wheeled,’ in a few others ‘seven-

wheeled,’⁷ while in one of the Atharvaveda⁸ it is styled ‘eight-

wheeled.’ Zimmer⁹ argues that these epithets do not refer to

real chariots, pointing out that in all the passages where

tri-cakra, ‘three-wheeled,’ occurs there is a mythical reference.

On the other hand, Weber¹⁰ thinks that there might have been

chariots with three wheels, one being in the centre between the

two occupants. This is not very conclusive; at any rate, the

seven-wheeled and the eight-wheeled chariots can hardly be

regarded as indicating the existence of real vehicles with that

number of wheels.

In the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa¹¹ the potter's wheel (kaulāla-

cakra) is referred to.
