v2.c23.264

⁵⁶² गोभिल and खादिर appear to suggest three names, one that was secret given in सोष्यन्तीकर्म ( गोभिल II. 7. 15-16 ), the 2nd in nāmakaraṇa ( गोभिल II. 8. 8 and 14-16 derived by means of the intricate rules specified above ) and a third in Upanayana called अभिवादनीय (गोभिल II. 10. 21-25). According to them a name like सोमयाजी would be the fourth name. In वैखानस I. 7 it is said that in the पुण्याहवाचन the following names of the यजमान should be taken one after another viz. नक्षत्रनाम, गोत्रनाम, पितृनाम, मातृगोत्रनाम and स्वनाम (ending in शर्मन् if he is a ब्राह्मण). को नामासीति नामधेयं पृच्छति तस्याचार्यः । अभिवादनीयं नाम कल्पयित्वा देवताश्रयं नक्षत्राश्रयं वा । गोत्राश्रयमप्येके । गोभिलीयगृह्य II. 10. 22-25 ; को नामासीत्युक्तो देवताश्रयं नक्षत्राश्रयं वाभिवादनीयं नाम ब्रूयादसावस्मीति। खादिर II. 4. 12.
