The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v2.c30.s1.18

v2.c30.s1.18

In other cases there takes place an elaborate process of intermingling both verses and parts of verses of different strophes with one another. This is the rule with the recitation of the Vālakhilya hymns, which may be treated in two different but both complicated ways,¹ with the Mahānāmnī verses,² with the verse for the Āpyāyana or swelling out of the dry Soma stems, and so forth. It is only worth noting that as early as the Rigveda these puerilities seem to have been in vogue.
