²⁶⁷⁰ The following quotations will illustrate the Pāriplava recital. प्रथमेहनि मनुर्वैवस्वतस्तस्य मनुष्या विशस्त इम आसत इति गृहमेधिन उपस मानीताः स्युस्तानुपदिशत्यृचो वेदः सोऽयमिति सूक्तं निगदेत्। द्वितीयेहनि यमो वैवस्वतस्तस्य पितरो विशस्त इम आसत इति स्थविरा उपस मानीताः स्युस्तानुपदिशति यजुर्वेदो वेदः सोयमित्यनुवाकं निगदेत्। आश्व. X. 7. 1-2. In the Vedāntasūtra (III. 4. 23–24) the conclusion is stated that the ākhyānas (such as that of Pratardana and Indra in Kauṣītaki Up. III. 1, of Jānaśruti in Chān. Up. IV. 1. 1 and of Yājñavalkya and his wives in Bṛ. Up. IV 5. 1) in the Upaniṣads are not meant to be recited in the Pāriplava, since only certain legends alone are specified in the texts for that purpose.
