c19.s1.46

N. I 116-126. [These hymns are very slightly connected by references to the Pajra family, and differ greatly in metre; see § 105 v. The first two hymns, and to a slighter extent 118 and 119 stand alone in the Rigveda in the regular use of iambic and cretic variations at the break side by side: see § 110 iv. The remaining hymns correspond generally to the types of the periods to which they are respectively assigned in the ‘Table of hymns.’]
