³⁵ See *I. St.*, i. 387–392. I am now in possession of the complete text, but have nothing material to add to the above remarks. Great stress is laid upon keeping the particular doctrines secret, and upon the high importance of those familiar with them. Among the names mentioned in the course of the work, Ágniveśyáyana is of significance on account of its formation. The interesting passages on the three *páṭhas* of the Veda, *nirbhuja* = *saṃhitápáṭha*, *pratṛiṇṇa* = *padapáṭha*, and *ubhayam antareṇa* = *kramapáṭha*, are discussed by M. Müller on Ṛik-Prát., i. 2–4 (see also *ibid.*, *Nachträge*, p. II).
