68 E. IV. Hopkins, 



came upon Urnayu, a Gandharva, swinging himself ^ in the midst of 

 Apsarasas. Whenever this (Gandharva) indicated any one of the 

 Apsarasas, saying " I would come to (her)," she desired him. He 

 said to this (Kalyaiia), " O Kalyana, verily your heavenly world is 

 gained and won ; but 30U do not know the path, the way of the 

 gods. Here is a Saman conducive to heaven. By praising with it 

 you will (all) get to heaven. But do not thou sa}', " I (Kalyana) 

 have discovered it." Kalyana returned and said, " Verily our heav- 

 enly world is gained and won ; but we do not know the path, the 

 way of the gods. Here is a Saman conducive to heaven. By prais- 

 ing with it we shall get to heaven," They said. " Who told you?" 

 " Even I myself have discovei'ed it," said he." Praising with this 

 (Saman) the}^ came to heaven ; but Kalyana was left behind, for he 

 spoke a lie. The leper here on earth is he." This finale means 

 that the white leper, svi'tra, is the reincarnated Kalyana, i. e. this 

 sage being left behind for his sin of lying becomes incorporate as 

 a leper. In AB. 6. 33. 5, one who " murders speech " is cursed to 

 be " weak," but it is doubtful whether a/asa is " leper " (Haug), and 

 the murderer of speech is there not a liar but one who prevents 

 another from uttering the holy words he is trying to sa}'. Owing 

 to his sin the Saman is not named for Kalyana, but bears the name

Unimportant Augirasas, who only " saw heaven " or " got a thou- 

 sand cattle," are Davasu and Karnasravas, same tale of each, 13. 11. 

 14; 15. 5. 14; Snusti, 13. 11. 22; Suhavi, 14. 5. 26; .Sammat, 15.5. 

 11. The seer called Go "escaped all ill," 16. 7. 7; V3'a.sva, 14. 

 10. 9, saw heaven, as did Babhru Kaumbhya (gotra name), 15. 

 3. 13, 26. Pasthavat, an Ailgirasa, had the remarkable experience 

 of hearing the fourth da}- of a rite speaking Con the third day) 

 and invoking with " Ho ! the voice," in the form {ha-u-vfi, /lo-vd, 

 leaving off ^- of vagi), 12. 5. 11. In 25. 14. 5, Tura, devanmrii, 

 deserves notice for his epithet. Krun, 13. 9. 11 ; 11. 20, is probably 

 invented for the occasion {Krauncd). The " horse " names (of the 



^ Rather a sign of dalliance than of greatness, though in 5. 5. 10 it is 

 said that " when greatness comes to people then they mount swings," 

 (of. Kath. 34. 5), of the hotars ascent to the swing {yada vai prajd maha 

 avisati prcnkhCms tarhy drohanti). S. understands that K. went " up " 

 (into the air), but udavrajat is " went out " (to studj^). 



- Urnayu (the " woolly one ") reappears again in the epic, 1. 123. 55 f. 

 This is an epithet of " Varuiia's nabhi" in VS. 13. 50. In the Ramaj^ana 

 the daughter of Urnayu is Somadii. PW. and pw. erroneous^ give 

 Kalyjina for this place as the name of a Gandharva.
