 the compound occurs also Kath. ix. 10 (p. 112, 4). Cf. Eggeling, 

 SBE., xli, p. xviii, ' At the end of each round (paryayaj libations 

 are offered, followed by the inevitable potations of Soma-liquor. 

 That the performance [of the Atiratra], indeed, partook largely of 

 the character of a regular nocturnal carousal may be gathered from 

 the fact, specially mentioned in the Aitareya Brahmana, that each 

 of the Hotr's offering-formulas is to contain the three words — " andhas," 

 Soma-plant (or liquor), "pa," to drink, and "mada," intoxication. 

 Accordingly, one of the formulas used is Rig-veda ii. 19. 1 apayy 

 asya 'ndhaso madaya " there has been drunk (b}- Indra, or by us) 

 of this juice for intoxication.'" "

213. The legends dealing with the daughters of Prajapati fall 

 into two large groups, viz. (1) ' The incest of Prajapati ' and (2) 

 ' Prajapati gives his daughter or daughters in marriage.' Bloom- 

 held has i^ointed out {JAOS., xv, p. 181) that these two groups 

 are sharply distinguished by differences in phraseology ; ' the stories 

 of Prajapati's incest with his daughter exhibit an utter absence of 

 all the technical words indicative of Vedic marriage rites ; the 

 stories of the marriage of Prajapati's daughter [or daughters] almost 

 always exhibit them.' 



Of the second group (' Prajapati gives his daughter or daughters 

 in marriage ') there are two subdivisions. The one is represented 

 by TS. ii. 3. 5. 1, prajapates trayastrih9ad duhitara asan. tah somaya
