^254:2 See Colebrooke, Miscellaneous Essays, I, p. 141; Rig-veda I, 114, 8; Taitt. Samh. IV, 5, 10, 3; Vag. Samh. XVI, 16. The various readings are curious. Ayushi in the Svet. Up., instead of ayau in the Rig-veda, is supported by the Taitt. Samh. and the Vag. Samh.; but Vignanatman reads ayau. As to bhamito, it seems the right reading, being supported by the Rig-veda, the Taitt. Samh., and the Svet. Up., while bhavito in Roer's edition is a misprint. The Vag. Samh. alone reads bhamino, which Mahidhara refers to viran. The last verse in the Rig-veda and Vag. Samh. is havishmantah sadam it tva havamahe; in the Taitt. Samh. havishmanto namasa vidhema te. In the Svet. Up. havishmantah sadasi tva havamahe, as printed by Roer, seems to rest on Sankara's authority only. The other commentators, Sankarananda and Vignanatman, read and interpret sadam it.
