In two¹ of its three occurrences in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa this sense is hardly felt, the expression being used to indicate a subsequent portion of the book itself. But in the third² passage it is distinguished from the Itihāsa (‘story’) proper, and there must mean ‘supplementary narrative.’ \*Cf.\* Anuvyākhyāna. - [Previous: v1.c3.389](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.389) - [Next: v1.c3.391](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.391) - [Up: v1.c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.390](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.390) · Pramāṇa
