 closes the progeny [which is] born, [that which is as yet] unborn ^ he 

 causes to he born. 4. Of them being- enclosed the she-mule escaped. 

 [Pursuing and] catching her he took her seed away. He transferred 

 it to the mare. 2 Therefore^ the mare has two [kinds of] seed; 

 therefore the she-mule is barren, for she had her seed taken awa}-. 

 5. And therefore she should not be given as sacrificial fee. As she 

 exceeded the sacrifice she should be the sacrificial fee of [that 

 which is] in excess, for the sake of correspondence. [But] in the 

 case of the stotra of the sodayin (sixteen-fold)-sacrifice* she may 

 be given. For the sodacin [-stotra] is redundant, in the case of the 

 redundant onh^ does he give the redundant [she-mule].'

^ Cliangliig- the reading- to agree with TS. and JB. (see belo-w) to ' j^ni 

 'jata janayati.' Thus the desired contrast between the two halves of the 

 sentence is brought out.

^ Read : ' tasmad ' ; cf. Commentator to SB. v(vi). 7. 2, p. 176 of

* ' The sodacin-sacrifice requires . . . one additional chant, the sodagi- 

 stoti'a. with its attendant gastra and Soma-cup. The most natural ex- 

 planation of the name is suppHed, in the first place, by AB. iv. 1,— -viz. 

 the sacrifice "which has sixteen, or a sixteenth, stotra. But as the name 

 applies not only to the sacrifice but also to the stotra and gastra, the 

 Brahmana further justifies the name hy the peculiar composition of the 

 soda(^n-castra in winch the number sixteen prevails,' Eggeling, SBE.. xli, 

 p. xvii. As to the redundancy, cf. AB. iv. 1. 6, ' dve va aksare atiricyete 

 solacino "nustubham abhisarapannasya.'
