A Vedic Concordance c5.s1.1

c5.s1.1

No hard and fast line between truly variant and vaguely similar passages.—The similarities between related Vedic passages are of very varying degrees, and range from a likeness so close that one may be called a true variant of the other, to a likeness so slight or vague as hardly to be worth reporting. Nevertheless, if we take a few typical examples, the differences of character as between several of the many possible classes are palpable enough.
