c19.s9.13

D. X 27-84. [The small groups of hymns here included are generally of a type which stands in contrast with that of the archaic and strophic periods, without having the specific character of the Kutsa hymns. It is very probable that many of the hymns assigned to the cretic period really belong to the popular Rigveda, but maintain artificially the linguistic features of the Rigveda proper.]
