History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v3.c42.46

v3.c42.46

¹⁹⁶³ According to Nārāyaṇa Ṛg. X. 158., Ṛg. I. 50. 1-9, I. 115. 1, and X. 37. 1 are called Saurya verses; while स्वस्त्ययनानि are the verses that contain the word *svasti* or a benediction, viz. Ṛg. I. 89. 1, V. 51. 11, X. 63. 1. Nārāyaṇa follows Āśv. Śr. Sūtra VI. 5. 18 as to Saurya hymns; but it is doubtful whether he is right as to the svastyayana verses. According to the Bṛhad-devatā VIII. 77, Ṛg. X. 178 is a svastyayana hymn.
