Note [5:27:4:1]1. I do not think that Ludwig is right in believing that with verse 4 a new, independent section begins.--Comp. on this verse, vol. xxxii, p. 304 (II, 34, 7, note 3).

Note [5:27:4:2]2. Me may be accusative, as it frequently is. Should it be a dative, we should have to translate: 'Who may tell Asvamedha for my sake.'

Note [5:27:4:3]3. Medha'm can scarcely depend on dadat; wisdom is not a gift which liberal princes may bestow on singers.

Verse 5.

Note [5:27:5:1]1. Of milk, curds, and barley. See Hillebrandt, Vedische Mythologie, I, p. 209.
