¹⁰⁰¹ The Mit. notices that the upturning of the vessel should be done (as the termination क्त्वा in कृत्वा indicates) first before the mantra ' vāje vāje' (Yāj I. 247) is recited and after the brāhmanas recite the benedictory mantras, and then the brāhmanas start. Compare Jai IV.3.37 for क्त्वा denoting पूर्वकालता. संस्रव has two meanings, viz. (1) the drops of water fallen from the hands of the brāhmanas when arghya water was offered to them (Mit.), (2) the drops of water that remain in the arghya vessels. श्रीदत्त in his पितृभक्ति (D C Ms 152 of 1892-95) says 'संस्रवपदं ब्राह्मणहस्तस्रुतजलपरमिति निबन्धाः। कर्कभाष्ये तु अर्धपात्रस्थशेषीभूतजलं संस्रवपदमित्युक्तम्। युक्तं चैतत् । शेषे प्रतिपत्तेरपेक्षितत्वात्' folio 25b.
