Note 1. I read Soma, paribâ´dhah. See Delbrück, Synt. Forsch. p. 116.

Verse 9.

Note 1. Unless we can take mûrdhâ´ for a locative, attracted by nâ´bhâ, I should propose to read mûrdhán nâ´bhâ. It can hardly be an adverbial Dvandva, mûrdhâ-nâbhâ, nor do I see how it can be applied as a nominative to Rudra. The whole verse is difficult, possibly a later addition. On ritásya amrítasya dhâ´man, see IX, 97, 32; 110, 4 (dhárman).

Next: I, 114. To Rudra
