v3.c48.121

²³⁵² The passages नमः प्रवक्त्रे नम उपद्रष्ट्रे ...... जुषध्वम् constitute the entire *japa* which the hotṛ mutters, the last clause being Ṛg. X. 53. 4. This last is explained in Nirukta III. 8. The words नमः प्रवक्त्रे &c., are a *sautra* passage (Āśv. I. 2. 1) and have a parallel in Śāṅ. I. 4 ‘नमोऽग्नय उपद्रष्ट्रे नमो वायव उपश्रोत्रे नम आदित्यायानुख्यात्रे &c.’
