The Sautrâmaṇî ceremony, which begins with the 19th Adhyâya, has nothing corresponding to it in the Taittirîya-sanhitâ, but, like the following sacrifices, it has been incorporated in the Taittirîya-brâhmaṇa. There is a difference also in the treatment which this sacrifice receives in the Śatapatha-brâhmaṇa. Adhyâya xix. and xx. are indeed explained there, in the 12th book, but they do not receive the same careful explanation which was given to the preceding sacrifices. The last Adhyâya, containing verses of the Hotṛi, is not explained at all. Kâtyâyana treats these three Adhyâyas in the 19th book of his Sûtras.
