They are given here as they follow one another in the text of the Âpastamba-Śâkhâ, and this order is confirmed in every particular by Sâyaṇa’s Commentary (MS. E. I. H. 1145), which is in fact a commentary intended for the Âpastamba-śâkhâ of the Taittirīya-brâhmaṇa. According to his introductory remarks prefixed to each Anuvâka, the Sâvitrachiti occupies the tenth, the Nâchiketachiti the eleventh Prapâṭhaka. In the twelfth Prapâṭhaka, he remarks, the Châturhotra and Vaiśvasṛija should be explained. But as the iṣṭis, called the Divaḥśyenīs and Apâdyâs, form part of the complete Châturhotra (they stand either in the middle or at the end of it), they are explained first. Thus we find in the beginning of the twelfth Prapâṭhaka (iii. 12. 1.), the pratīkas of the Yâjyânuvâkyâs of the Divaḥśyenīs; in iii. 12. 2. the rules for the same iṣṭis; and in the same manner, the Yâjyânuvâkyâs of the Apâdyâs in iii. 12. 3., and the rules in iii. 12. 4. Then follows the Châturhotra-chayana in iii. 12. 5., and in the last four Anuvâkas the Vaiśvasṛija-chayana.
