Vedic Hymns, Part I (SBE32): Preface to the First Edition...

I, 7, 9. ya ékah (Aufr. p. 5) should be ya. ékah (M. M. vol. i, p. 110), because the relative pronoun is never without an accent. The relative particle yathâ may be without an accent, if it stands at the end of a pâda; and though there are exceptions to this rule, yet in VIII, 21, 5, where Professor Aufrecht gives yathâ, the MSS. are unanimous in favour of yathâ (M. M. vol. iv, p. 480). See Phit-sutra, ed. Kielhorn, p. 54.

I, 10, 11. â tû´ (Aufr. p. 7) should be â´ tû´ (M. M. vol. i, p. 139), because â is never without the accent.

I, 10, 12. gúshtâh, which Professor Aufrecht specially mentions as having no final Visarga in the Pada, has the Visarga in all the MSS., (Aufr. p. 7, M. M. vol. i. p. 140.)

I, 11, 4. kávir (Aufr. p. 7) should be kavír (M. M. vol. i, p. 143).

I, 22, 8, read râ´dhâmsi.

I, 40, 1 and 6. There is no excuse for the accent either on tvémahe or on vókema, while sákân̐ in I, 51, 11, ought to have the accent on the first syllable.

I, 49, 3. Rosen was right in not eliding the a in divó ántebhyah. S 1, S 2,S 3 preserve the initial a, nor does the Prâtisâkhya anywhere provide for its suppression.

I, 54, 8. kshátram (Aufr. p. 46) is a mere misprint for kshatrám.

I, 55, 7. vandanasrúd (Aufr. p. 47) instead of vandanasrud (M. M. vol. i, p. 514) is wrong.

I, 57, 2. samâ´sîta instead of samásîta had been corrected in my reprint of the first Mandala, published at Leipzig. See Bollensen, Zeitschrift der D. M. G., vol. xxii, p. 626.

I, 61, 7, read víshnuh; I, 64, 2, read súkayah; I, 64, 5, read dhû´tayah.

I, 61, 16. Rosen had rightly printed hâriyoganâ with a long â both in the Samhitâ and Pada texts, and I ought not to have given the short a instead. All the MSS., S 1, S 2, S 3, P 1, and P 2, give the long â. Professor Aufrecht gives the short a in the Pada, which is wrong.

I, 67, 2 (4). vidántîm (M. M. vol. i, p. 595) is perfectly right, as far as the authority of the MSS. and of Sâyana is concerned, and should not have been altered to vindántîm (Aufr. p. 57).

I, 72, 2, read vatsám; I, 72, 6, read pasû´ñ; I, 76, 3, read dhákshy; I, 82, 1, read yadâ´.

I, 83, 3. Rosen was right in giving ásamyattah. I gave ásamyatah on the authority of P 1, but all the other MSS. have tt.
