29. Cf. *PB* 4. 9. 14; *ĀpŚS* 21. 11. 13ff. *KātyŚS* 12. 4. 19–20 makes the reviling of Prajāpati the substance of the brahmodya and calls it *aguṇākhyāna*, tale of the negative qualities. *AB* 5. 25 and *KB* 27. 5 give, instead of blame, the enumeration of Prajāpati's "bodies" ("eater of food and mistress of food," "the fair and the beautiful," etc.), thus eliminating the controversial nature.
