Maṇḍala VII
c19.s7.1
[The great majority of the hymns are characterized by an approximation of the trimeter rhythm to that of dimeter verse, as described in § 213. The name of Vasiṣṭha and the characteristic refrain verse are however found even in the hymns which have not this metrical type, and are therefore probably of a different period: see § 107.]
c19.s7.2
¹ 3a prá-iddhaḥ: perhaps didihī; 3b su-ūrmíā; 5b su-apatyám, sahasia; 7a dahā; 8c utá; 13a pāhī; 15b Virātṣthānā verse: but such verses are so rare in this collection that they invite emendation; 16a sá; 18a imā; 18c viantu; 19b for the caesura see § 205 i c; 20d pātā.
c19.s7.3

c19.s7.8
7d § 213 ii. 21. 3c tuát; 5a, 6a índara; 9a irregular cadence (§ 220 v) is improbable in this collection: perhaps read syáma ta indra viśváhā sákhāyaḥ: for the opening cf. 20 8d. 22. 1a indara; 3c bráhmā; 6a, 6b bhúrī, probably an adverb with plural form; 6c má with hiatus: jiók; 8c as la. 24. 4b perhaps bráhmā (plur.); 6c pinvā.

c19.s7.11
*33. 2d avṛṇīta, § 175 i; 8c ná ’níena, § 145 vi; 10c jánma, utá: the double hiatus in this hymn is suspicious. 34. 7b pṛthví, § 151 iii; 12b kṛṇotā; 14b práyīṣṭhaḥ; 16a abjáam (§ 142 i) gives an irregular opening; 17a Virāṭsthānā verse; 21b Triṣṭubh verse. *35.

c19.s7.13
40. 1a á ū with hiatus, § 171 ii; 2c ráyikṇaḥ (§ 151 i) is certain, but the form is unexplained; 5a probably vayáyai, cf. i 165 15c; 6d váataḥ, § 142 v. 41. 1d catalectic verse; 3c janayā; 5a evá; 6d either rátham ’va, § 129 iii, or omit áśvāḥ as a gloss, § 152 i. 42. 3c sú: puru-aṇīka; 4b śiona-; 6a evá with hiatus; 6b astaut, § 151 i. 43. 2c stṛṇītā́; 4d gantanā; 5b ásakrāḥ, § 151 iii. 45. 2c sá. 46. 1b probably deváya kṣiprá- || iṣave; 2a kṣámia; 2d rudara, § 149 ii; 4c bhajā. 48. 1a Virāṭsthānā verse; 4b bhūtá.

c19.s7.21
⁸⁰ 2a siá. 81. 1a ū; 5d rāsvā; 6b asmábhya. 82. 2a requires correction somewhat as follows: samrāḍ vām anyá anyá ucyate svarát: but cf. § 151 iii; 6b suám. 83. 7b perhaps yūyudhuh, § 169 iii. 84. 2a rāṣṭarám, § 149 iii; 3c úpa. 85. 2d śáruā; 4b ādityā.

c19.s7.34
B. VIII 12-31. [These collections are almost exclusively in lyric metres. They have every indication of antiquity: but the few dimeter hymns which are included in the collection appear by their smoother rhythm to be later additions.]
c19.s7.35
¹² 4c yéna nú; 19c ádha; 28c, 29c, 30c trimeter verses. 13. 9a utá; 13c is a trimeter verse, though with dimeter rhythm, as naḥ is unaccented; 15c as 13c; 19d sá; 21a perhaps yádī; 25a várdhasva sú; 28c utá; 30d vicákṣiā; 31b utá. 14. 2a irregular cadence. 15. 1a ū; 10c su-apatyáni; 12a tuā. 16. 3a suṣṭutiā or suṣṭutí ā; 6a

c19.s7.46
the sense of the next verse; 5c saptá. 29. 2a diótanah, § 151 ii; 5b omit śúcih, § 152 i; 6a pipāya; 8a duá; 9a cakrata dual, §§ 170 i, 174 i e. 30.
