²⁰⁸⁰ अथापीदमनन्तरेण मन्त्रेष्वर्थप्रत्ययो न विद्यते तदिदं विद्यास्थानं व्याकरणस्य कार्त्स्न्यं स्वार्थसाधकं च। यदि मन्त्रार्थप्रत्ययानर्थक्यं भवतीति कौत्स्रोऽनर्थका हि मन्त्राः!... अर्थवन्तः शब्दसामान्यादेतद्वै यज्ञस्य समृद्धं यद्रूपसमृद्धं यत्कर्म क्रियमाणमृग्यजुर्वाभिवदतीति (Continued from last page) चे ब्राह्मणम्। निरुक्त I. 15 The word विद्यास्थानं which is employed by Yāj also (I. 3) may be noted Vide notes 1780-81 for the passage एतद्वै ... वदति The Ait. Br (chap. III. 5) states that 13 verses are repeated at the time of producing fire by attrition and examines them to show how they are रूपसमृद्ध All that it says on these 13 verses is not quite convincing, but in the case of several of them such as Ṛg VI 16 13-15 it is convincing; vide 'Our Heritage' (Calcutta Sanskrit College) vol. V. part 2 (for July-December 1957) for a lengthy paper 'on the justification of rūpasamṛddha verses in the Ait. Br' by Vimana Chandra Bhattacharya (pp. 119-146).
