i. 100 anyake same. The name, properly spelt Nabhaka (above, iii. 56; Arsanukramani viii. 10; Sarvanukramani), has the first syllable shortened owing to the metre. g Seer of i. 94-98, all of which end with the same refrain except 97, which has a refrain of its own running through the whole hymn. 129. Two unlike' (dve virupe: i. 95) is a hymn to Agni Ausasa, 'He in the ancient way' (sa pratnatha: i. 96) is to Agni Dravinodas, 'Of Vaisvanara' (vaisvanarasya: i. 98) is addressed to Vaisvanara; but the one before this (i. 97) is to Agni Suci a. ausasayagnaye hd, ausasamaye bfk, ausasagneye m'. - dravinodase'gnaye hm' 1, dravi- nodase varum b, dravinodase vara fk - vaisvanarasyeti rfk, vaisvanarasyeti ye hdr", omitted in b.-r has uktam after vaisvanariyam . - 12 ged is omitted in r±r 4 r. a Cp. Sayana, introduction to Rg-veda i. 97.-The first two padas of this stanza have twelve syllables ending iambically; the fourth, though having eleven syllables, ends iambically also. B 130. Some say that the thousand hymns addressed to Jatavedas (which come) before (the hymn) addressed to Indra (i. 100) have Kasyapa as their seera: the first hymn of these is 'For Jatavedas' (jatavedase: i. 99). Sakapuni thinks that they increase by one b (in the number of their stanzas) c. jatavedasyam m'b 1, jatavedasya fk - suktasahasrameka 1, suktasahasramekam m', suktam sahasrameka k, suktasya sahasramaka b. - kasyaparsa m er (Sarvanukramani), kasyaparisam b, kasyapa rsi fk. 130 is omitted in A. After 130 Mitra adds from one (r) or two (or) of his MSS. three lines not found in A or bfkr 2: dvrcadya sahasracantam suktam nanavidham bhavet | navanavatih pancalaksa rcah syuh sacatuhsatam | nanadaivatamekarse chandobhiscitramutpatham || a The text of the Sarvanukramani on Rg-veda i. 99 is clearly based on this stanza, which must therefore be original. Cp. vol. i, Appendix vi, p. 148. b With the three interpolated lines in R cp. the slokas in Sadgurusisya on Sarvanukramani i. 99, where the total number of the stanzas (calculated as an arithmetical progression) contained in the 1000 hymns attributed to Kasyapa is stated to be 500, 500 less one (i. e. subtracting one for the first, Rg-veda i. 99, which is not a khila): cp. my explanatory note, Sarvanukramani, p. 159. When Sadgurusisya states that 'Saunaka himself has referred to these khilas in indexing the seer' (rsyanukramane) the allusion must be to the above passage of the Brihaddevata, as the Arsanukramani makes no mention of them. c Padas acd, though ending like tristubhs, have twelve syllables.
