A History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature, so far as it illustrates the Primitive Religion of the Brahmans c6.178

c6.178

¹ Cf. Manu, x. 76.; and Rig-veda-bhâshya, ii. p. 30. Rosen, who has quoted this passage to Rv. i. 18. 1., reads याजनाध्यापने चैव विशुद्धाच्च प्रतिग्रहात् which he translates by “abstinere jubet a dirigendis sacrificiis, ab institutione sacra et ab impuris donis,” referring to Manu, x. 103—110. विशुद्धा does not mean impure, but pure. The reading of the commentary ought to be विशुद्धाच्च प्रतिग्रहः for thus the very words of Manu, x. 76., are restored.
