The Orion, or Researches into the Antiquity of the Vedas c7.57

c7.57

∗ Jaimini vi. 5, 30-37. Jaimini's Sûtras which I have here tried to translate and explain are as follows:—1. पौर्णमास्यामनियमोडविशेषात्; 2. आनंतर्यात्तु चैत्री स्यात्; 3. माघी वैकाष्टका श्रुतेः; 4. अन्याऽपीति चेत्; 5 न भक्तिस्त्वादेषा हि लोके; 6. दीक्षापराधे चानुमहात्; 7. उत्थाने चानुमरोहात्; 8. अस्यां च सर्विलंगानि. Sâyaṇa in his Jaimini nyâya mâla vistâra and in his comm. on the Taitt. San. fully adopts this view. But in his comm. on the Tâṇḍya Brâhmaṇa, v 9. 12 (Cal. Ed.) he is represented as saying that the full moon last mentioned refers to the Chaitrî! Some one, either the scribe the printer, or the publisher, has here obviously committed an error.
