91. There are two hymns (ii. 36, 37) addressed to the Seasons (beginning) To thee' (tubhyam: ii. 36. 1). After one addressed to Savitr (38) follows one to the Asvins (39). With the last (stanza: 6) of (the hymn) to Soma-Pusan (40), Soma, Pusan, and Aditi as well, are praised. °tyartave hbk, °tyarttave , tyarbhave . - somapausne b, somapausnayo (stutah ) f, soma- pusne hm' 1 (soma pausnam Sarvanukramani). 92. And (at the beginning of ii. 41) there are two (stanzas) to Vayu (1, 2), one to Indra -Vayu (3); next (come) five triplets (4-18) addressed to the Prauga deities a. The stanza Forth' (pra: 19) praises the two Soma carts: Agni is there incidental (nipata-bhaj). Heaven and Earth' (dyava: 20) (praises) Heaven and Earth; then follow (21) the two Soma carts b.

According to the Sarvanukramani, the whole of the last triplet (19-21) is addressed to either Heaven and Earth or the two Soma carts, while Agni is optional in 19°. 93.

Though, according to Roth, Erlauterungen, p. 125, the passage of the Nirukta quoted in note is an interpolation, it was evidently known to the author of the Brihaddevata The stanza which Yaska goes on to quote for kapinjala is the first of the khila after Rg-veda ii. 43. b 94. He (Grtsamada), with the eye of a seer, recognizing him (Indra) in the form of the bird, praised him in the two following hymns (ii. 42, 43), 'With repeated cry' (kanikradat: ii. 42. 1). parabhyamabhi ° hm`r, etabhyamabhi0, parabhyamiti bfk - The end of the varga is here marked by q in bfk, not in hdm1.

The son of Gathi (a) who, after ruling the earth b, attained by penance to the position of a Brahman seer (brahmarsi) and (obtained) a hundred and one sons, uttered the hymn which is addressed to Agni, 'Of Soma me' (somasya ma: iii. 1), and the two following (iii. 2, 3) - prasasya hm`rb, prasasyam f. - gam yasa b, gayamsa, gaya fk, gathas hd, gathis m'.- ॰bhyagachad hdr, ॰dhyagachad b, °dhyagachan ror], 0dhyagachat f. - gathiputras hd, gadhiputras 1, gayiputras fk, gasviputras b. - yatparam ca hm'r, yatparaiti ca f, yatpareti ca b, tatpare ca r2r 5 r 7. * That is, Visvamitra, seer of Mandala iii. Sadgurusisya (p. 104) gives a somewhat different and more detailed account of Visvamitra. b This remark of course refers to Visvamitra having originally belonged to the warrior class. Cp. Aitareya Brahmana vii. 18. 1. C With every log' (samit-samit: There follow here two hymns 96. addressed to Vaisvanara. iii. 4) is an Apri hymn (apryah).

I have omitted the syllable because it is redundant after 47, and because it would give the pada thirteen syllables according to the reading of the B MSS. R's reading vaisvanariyeti is impossible, while that of hdm' yatparam ca | vaisvanara- yeti I regard as a corruption : yatpare ca having become yatparam ca, the following vaisva- nariye had to be changed to vaisvanarayeti . This reading gives both a wrong and an

152 incomplete sense: 'the following also (iii. 2) beginning "vaisvanaraya" (is addressed to Agni, instead of Vaisvanara),' and no account is then taken of iii. 3.- hd, apyo abhyo m', apro, apriyo bfrr 17, apriya k. - dve agneye hm`r, dve ca ye ye b, dve ca ye fk, dve agnaye .. - tvatra hm' r, tvasya bfrrr 7 g, tasya k. - dyavaprthivya usaso nipata r°kr±rr', dyavaprthivya usasau nipata fb dyavaprthinyavusaso nipata m', dyavapr- thivyau tu nipatabhajava r, Sadgurusisya (cp. 2. 7. ) . - pitaranca hm`rs, pitaro'tha r 3 bfk r2r 5 r 7.

Wherever (here) one (of them) may be praised or there is no (actual) praise b, one should know that they are intended to be incidental or to serve as a comparison. stu yetaika hm' 1, stuyetaiko B. - yatrastutirvi hm' 1, tatranyastutiva B. -- nipatyarthi co0 hdm', nipatyarthasco ° r' r' r' r', naipatyasco ° b, naipatyastvamu ° fk, naipatyamstamsco ° 1.- •pamarthi hdm', 'pamarthascah, 'pamarthacca fk. r, b That is, when the deity is not invoked, a The first pada has only ten syllables. but the name is merely mentioned, as in a simile. 98.

Stand erect to aid us' (urdhva u su na utaye: i. 36. 13, 14)these two stanzas of Kanva are addressed to the sacrificial post (yaupi), and the five (beginning) They anoint thee' (anjanti tvaa: iii. 8. 1-5).

The resta (are addressed) to many posts, while the eighth stanza is addressed to the All-gods; the last (stanza) of this (hymn) is that which is said to be concerned with cutting (the post) b. The sixth (hymn: iii. 12) c is said to be addressed to Indra-Agni. - sesa bahubhyo fkr, sesabhyo bahu (yupebhyo ) hd, sesebhyo bahubhyo m' r', seso bahubhyo b. - vrascani yokta hdm', vrascana yokta bfkr°, brasncamah yoktem ' r' r', vrascini yokta 1. - sasthamai - ndragnamucyate hdr, (yoktem ) drami aindramamucyate 11", indragnendrannamu b, indragnaudrannamu--- fk. a b That is, all but the eighth and the eleventh stanzas, which are excepted; according to the Sarvanukramani the eighth is optionally excepted: anjanti yupastutih: sasthyadyabhir bahavo, 'ntya vrasciny, astami vaisvadevi va. The text of the Sarvanukramani (also Sayana) has vrascini, but Sadgurusisya (adhikarane lyut) must have read vrascani. c That is, the sixth hymn of the Adhyaya (cp. 100). C 102. (The stanza) 'Agni, Dawn' (agnim usasam: iii. 20. 1) is addressed to the All-gods; (they are) also (invoked) with the (stanza) 'Dadhikra' (dadhikram: iii. 20. 5). But the stanza 'Agni and Indra' (agna indras ca iii. 25. 4) is addressed to Agni-Indra. The following triplet (iii. 26. 1-3) is addressed to Vaisvanara. II. X

Cp. op. cit., pp. 159, 160. b 104. But in the (stanza) 'Misty' (purisyasah: iii. 22. 4) he (the seer) lauds the fires on the altar (dhisnya).

105. The twenty-three a (hymns) after this (beginning) 'They desire' (ichanti: iii. 30) are addressed to Indra.

I. 106. The seer going with Sudas-being his domestic priest for the sake of sacrifice-to the confluence of the Vipas and the Sutudri addressed these two (rivers) with (the words) 'Be propitious' (sam).

In that (hymn) there appear statements (pravadah) in the dual, plurala, and singular in the hemistich 'Unto' (acha: iii. 33. 3 a) or in the (successive) padas (pacchah) 'Down to thee' (ni te: 10°, 10, 11), in the singular (ekavat) in (reference to) the rivers b; - paccho va hdr, pacche va m', pakva vam b, pacha vam f, pacham vam k. - vanni te hdm', •vamni te bfk, 'vanti te 1. a Cp.

Or (on the other hand) the rivers addressed the seer in the plural (bahuvat) with these (following) stanzas, °vacah sruteh hdm'r, ॰vacastrce b, vacasrce fk - etabhirrgbhiva hd, etabhirrgbhi va f, enabhirrgbhivi, etabhirbhamivi b, etabhi va k. a According to the Arsanukramani iii. 7 (followed by the Sarvanukramani) stanzas 4, 6, 8, 10 are spoken by the rivers (nadivacah), the remaining nine by the seer (visvamitravacamsi). The Sarvanukramani has in this passage clearly borrowed from the Arsanukramani. b The same expression (sruteh) is used in the Sarvanukramani in stating that Visvamitra is optionally the author of Rg-veda iii. 31 (see Aitareya Brahmana vi. 18. 2); the Arsanukramani (iii. 5) has the expression yatha srutih with regard to that hymn (cp. Sadgurusisya, p. 106). 109. (viz.) with the sixth, the eighth, the fourth, and the tenth; the rest (itarah) are the seer's.

The end of the varga is here marked by 20 in m1, by 29 in hdf, not at all in bk. a Indra and Savitr are mentioned in the sixth, and Indra in the seventh. The Sarvanukramani says: sasthisaptamyos tv indrastutih.

110, 111. are to be recognized as incidental. In the last (hymn) a there is (a stanza) b addressed to Indra-Parvata. How one makes a daughter what is called an adoptive child (putrika) or in that sense (tatha) impregnates here, that is told in the (hymn) 'Teaching' (sasat: iii. 31)d. In the stanza 'Not' (na: iii. 31. 2) the giving of inheritance to a daughter is forbidden e. -III. jneyau tvai ° hdr, jneye cai ° b, jnayave ° fk.-nama fkr 2 r 017, tamu b, nari hdm' r. 111. tasyam hm`1, tasya bfk - reto va hdm'r, retodha bfr'17, retodya k. - tacchasaditi hm'r, tatsaditi b, tasyasaditi 1. - pratisidhyate hm' 1, pratisedhati fk, pratisecati b. a That is, of the series of twenty-three (above, 105), viz. iii. 53. iii. 53.
