In IX, 68, Professor Aufrecht adopts what he considers the bold reading Vatsaprî; I prefer to be timid and allow Sâyana his own reading Vatsaprĭ; see Sarvânukramanî, ed. Macdonell, pp. 34, 146.

Footnotes

lxviii:a I find that Mr. Macdonell in his edition of the Sarvânukramanî reads ardharkoऽhinâmno. If this is right, part of my argument would fall.

lxviii:b MS. Wilson 379 has, ardharko nâmano daivatasya, and in the margin ऽhi. Ahirbudhnya seems to have been taken as one word.

lxviii:c The editor of the Bombay edition of the text of the Rig-veda assigns verse 16 to Ahi, verse 17 to Ahirbudhnya.

lxix:a The interpunction of Dr. Haug's edition (p. 128) should be after te. Shadgurusishya says: ata eva brâhmanasûtrayoh praüge vâyavyatvâya pra vîrayâ sukayo dadrire b vâm iti dvivakanasthâne ta ity ekavakanapâthah kritah, vâm ity uktam ked aindratvam ka syâd iti. Possibly the same change should be made in Âsvalâyana's Srauta Sûtras, VIII, 11, and it has been made by Rama Nârâyana Vidyâratna. The remark of the commentator, however, dadrire ta iti prayogapâthah, looks as if vâm might have been retained in the text. The MSS. I have collated are in favour of te.

lxix:b Mr. Macdonell (Sarvânukramanî, p. 133) inserts ta iti after dadrire.
