It is given in the Naighantukas as a synonym of ‘mahat/ Roth thinks it can bo shown that in most of the passages in which it occurs in the R-igyeda it means some part of a chariot, perhaps the seat.

Roth, whom Ludwig follows, takes this to bo a neu- tei plural, tie cites x, 44, b, “akririvata sravasyani dnshbarii,” and Nirukta fi, 25, where ‘ sravasyani’ in that passage is paraphrased by * sravaniyani.yasansi, an explanation which Sayan a there accepts. Both also cites viii, 1(1, 2, 15, 3 ; i, 100, 5, 117, 10 ; and oar passage. 1 he student should notice that Sayana finds a construction here by supplying the whole apodosis of a compound sentence “ Since they gladden you, they will rejoice with you, or by themselves also.” This is* of course, an impossible device.

All the MSS. read “manebhih rnanaili hav^shpradanarupabhih , ’ in the commentary here. Muller, quite unnecessarily, changes the last word into “ havishpradanarupaili.The word is an adjective, . and we are to understand u stutibhih 19 as the noun it qualifies. Vers© 6.
