BOOK XVI. THE ATHARVA-VEDA-SAṀHITĀ.
804
The first word seems to belong in sense rather to the preceding verse; ⌊see note thereon⌋. All the mss. read vaṅçiṣīya, and the edition follows them; but we ought unquestionably to have emended to vinṣiṣīya. There is even probably a play on words intended between vásu and vaṅs-. ⌊Yet SPP. reads vaṅçiṣīya without note of variant: as to the form, see Gram. § 914 b.⌋ ⌊For use by Kāuç., see under vs. 3.⌋
⌊Here ends the second anuvāka, with 5 paryāyas and 71 avasānarcas: but see the summations at p. 793 and cf. p. 798 and p. 801. The piece here quoted from the Old Anukr. is pañcaparyāya uttaraḥ: see p. 792.⌋
⌊Here ends the thirty-first prapāṭhaka.⌋
