# A Vedic Concordance c4.s4.2

A Vedic Concordance c4.s4.2

Once more, the claim of the title-page calls for a word of explanation as to certain doubtful elements of late or less important published texts. What I have endeavoured to embody in the Concordance with absolute completeness is the following: all the stanzas and all the prose passages of formulaic character contained in the Saṃhitās, Brāhmaṇas, Āraṇyakas, older Upaniṣads, Çrāuta-Sūtras, and Gṛhya-Sūtras. On the other hand, in the case of the later Upaniṣads or of the metrical Dharma-Çāstras and Smṛtis, or of such a text as the Rig-Vidhāna, I have adopted a selective method. It would clearly be inadvisable to include in this Concordance all the stanzas that occur in the works last mentioned. From them, accordingly, I have culled whatever appeared to have Vedic form or Vedic flavor. Unerring judgment in such choice no one will expect: I do not believe that I have erred on the side of including too little. It is perhaps more likely that I have included some things that might just as well or better have been left out.
