3. paucadagastoma : The three ways in which a stotra may be 

 arranged according to the paiicadaga-style are given b}' Eggehng, 

 SBE.. vol. xxvi, p. 308, note 2. — For its relation to Lidra, cf. e. g. 

 AB. iv. 31. 1; Nir. vii. 10; Eggeling, SBE., xii, p. xviii. — For the 

 connexion of Agni with the gayatrl and of Indra with the paiica- 

 daga-stoma see below, no. V., note to JB. i. 68—69 (p. 198). 



3. jagatya: Cf., e. g., VS. ix. 33 d. 



4. Nearly verbatim like TMB. ix. 1. 20-22. 



4. Yi + pala-abhi ' fugare,' p. w. Nachtrage I, p. 298 a ' einen 

 Fliehenden verfolgen.' 



4. asaihheyam : TMB. ix. 1. 21 and 22 read asamhayyam. The 

 PW. vii, p. 502 a interpreted this as aljsolutivum of Vha and trans- 

 lated it ' in der Lage sich nicht anfraffen zu konnen.' ^ But the 

 p. w., Nachtrage, vi, p. 297a corrects the reading to asaiiiharya- 

 and takes the latter {Nachtrage I, p. 296a) as an adverb in the 

 sense of ' auf Nimmerwiedersehen.' Whatever the reading, agamayan 

 seems to require it as its object. As the mss. of theJB. have uni- 

 formly e I have not emended the reading in that respect ; asaiiiheya 

 of JB. would be to asamhayya of TMB. as prahe3-a (AV. v. 17. 3c; 

 the corresponding RV. passage has prahye) is to prahayya (AV. xv. 

 3. 10, where the mss. are divided between -aryy-. -ary-, and -ay-, 

 a very pertinent parallel to the uncertainly about the TMB. reading). 

 About the meaning of asaihheya I do not feel at all certain. As 

 Vhi -f- sam means 'prepare' ' zuriisten ' it may be something like 

 ' undoing ' by which I have rendered it. 



212. 1. trivrta : Perhaps, under the circumstances, trvrta should 

 have been retained. It is difficult to say in such cases whether 

 the reading is a mere blunder or represents a real phonetic difference ; 

 cf. srdhas, AV. ii. 6. 5 (all of Whitney's and over half of SPP's 

 mss. ; l)ut nearly half of SPP's have sridhas) and MS. ii. 12. 5 (p. 149, 4.j 

 but sridhas, VS. xxvii. 6, TS. iv. 1. 7. 3, and Kath. xviii. 16 (p. 276, 

 17); sr'mah, MS. iv. 2. 9 (p. 31, 3) but srimah, AV. viii. 6. 10; krimnah 

 and krimayah ApCS. ix. 20. 2, kriminah, krime and krimin Ap(y"S. 

 XV. 19. 5 for krmi-; rigyapadim, AV. i. 18. 4 ('the mss. bungle all 

 the occurrences of this word ' Whitney.) for r'gya- (as the commen- 

 tator and three cf SPP's mss. read) ; apaprvSn, MS. ii. 10. 5 (p. 137, 

 11, but the padapatha reads apaprivan) but apaprivan, RV. x. 139. 2 

 (and the other parallel texts). In a similar manner TS. vii. 4, 13. 1 



' Cf. AB. vii. 1.5. 4, saiiijihanas tu dvaparah.
