¹ Araṇye'eva pāṭhyatvāt Āraṇyakam (Preface to *Aita. Āraṇyaka*). Araṇyavratarūpaṁ Brāhmaṇam (ib.). Again: "Araṇyādhyayanāt etat Āraṇyakam iti" [*Taitti. Āra.*]. Also: "Etat Āraṇyakaṁ sarvam nāvrati śrotumarhati" [ib.]. Pāṇini [iv, 2, 129] uses the word *āraṇyaka* in the sense of "a man living in the forest", but the author of the *Vārttikas* remarks that the same word is also used in the sense of "that which is *read* in the forest"
