The Orion, or Researches into the Antiquity of the Vedas c11.14

c11.14

† The Sûtrâs of Kâtyâyana bearing on this point are as follows:-- (See Kât. Shr. Su. ix. 6. 11—13) शुक्रं वैश्वेन वा तं प्रलयेति । अयं वेन इत्येके । मंथिनमयं वेन इति । Thus he first lays down that the Shukra vessel be taken by reciting the hymn तं प्रलया &c. (Vaj San. 7. 12) or according to some the hymn अयं वेनः &c. (Vaj. San 7. 16. Rig x. 123). He then observes that this latter hymn is used in taking up the Manthin vessel.
