c19.s2.6

¹⁹ 1b svánāsya, § 140 iii: Virāṭsthānā verse; 3a Virāṭsthānā verse (índra type); 3d perhaps áhnaam; 4a sá; 5a requires emendation; 5b probably sátvā, § 178; 7b perhaps śravasiá, § 151 ii. 20. 1a sú; 1c dídhiataḥ; 1d no caesura, § 214; 2a Rest at the fourth place, if we read tuábhiḥ: but more probably a double Rest, cf. § 226 iv; 2b -pāḥ asi with Sandhi, § 130 ii; 2c Virāṭsthānā verse; 2d Rest at the fourth place; 3a double Rest of an irregular type, § 227 iii c; 3b narāam; 5a sá; 5c uṣásaḥ, § 170 ii; 5c sátvā, § 178; 6d Virāṭsthānā verse; 7b dáasiḥ (§ 151 i) is here unlikely; 8a tavasyàm; a change of accent is probably required, § 135; 8b Gautamī verse; 8d hatví is suspicious in so early a hymn: by restoring ghnán the metre becomes correct: but see §§ 130 i, 219.
