History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v3.c51.104

v3.c51.104

²⁵⁹⁹ The nigada is given by Āśv. V. 7. 3 'अन्त्येन प्रणवेनोपसन्तनुयाद् यजमान होतरध्वर्यो ...... इन्द्राग्निभ्यां सोमं वोचतोपो अस्मान् ब्राह्मणान् ब्राह्मणाह्वयध्वमिति' The acchāvāka probably came to be so called from the first word 'acchā' of Ṛg. V. 25. 1 which he recites.
