I Finite forms of the simple root chad- do not occur; the part. channa- is found in B. 2 In AV. XV. 10² the reading should be mānayet; see WHITNEY's note. 3 In AV. IV. 184 śäpaya, which would be the causative of sap, is probably a wrong reading; cp. WHITNEY's note, 4 No form or derivative of the simple root sal- occurs in V.; see WHITNEY, Roots, s. v. sat. 5 Occurring only in the participle svaráyant- am (AV. XIII. 2²), which WHITNEY translates 'shining'.
