II 29-34 The verse ये रूपाणि and the mantras अत्र • वृषायिषत are quoted above in n. 960a from the शतपथब्रा For नमो व. पितरो, vide n. 959 and for आधत्त ..सत् n 780. Both the commentators, Uvaṭa and Mahīdhara, of Vāj S., hold that *rasa*, *śoṣa* and the other four are to be identified with the six seasons from spring (*madhu* etc.) and some of the digests provide for the worship of ऋतुs in śrāddha in this way. The कात्या. श्रौ सू (V. 9 24-25) states that with this mantra (Vāj. S. II. 32) the performer folds his hands or makes six obeisances Vide Hemādri (Śr pp. 1459-60) who quotes the Vāj S. (II. 32) and Tai. Br and explains them.
