Ghana. It is a question whether this is not a negative particle here. Both takes it so, and translates 1 all the gods together could not withstand thee/ This seems right. It is one of several allusions in this hymn to a struggle between Indra and the other gods. Sayana gives a different turn to all these passages. 2. Ana. There is no authority that we know of for the expla¬ nation of this word which Sayana gives here. It occurs iri other four places. In viii, 21, 13 we have “ abliratrivyd ana tv am finapfa indra. ” Sayana’a note there is u ana anefcrikah ritaschandaslti kapah pratiskedhali aniyantrika ityarthah anapir bandhnvarjitas elm.” In viii, 47, 6 we have “ parihvrit&I ana jano. ” Sayana, parihvritet paripiditenaiva taponiyamadina ana pranayukto jinah.” On x, 94, 3 Sayana says that avidann ana ” means u asyena labhante. ” The phrase recurs in the next verse of that hymn, and the same explana* tion is given of ‘ ana ’ there. These are all the places in which the word occurs. Both takes it to be an adverb of emphasis in some such sense as * indeed. * He would derive it from the pronominal root which yields 4 anena 5 and 1 anaya. ’ 3. Ydd 4ha naktarn atirah, f When thou didst stretch the days into the night.’ Rofcb, with the note that the reference is to some legend of indra’s having miraculously extended the daylight beyond its NOTES* 205 proper limits, as Joshua is represented to have due, # In the next verse In dm ia praised for a feat of the opposite kind. When Kutsa and his men were hard pressed Indra took the sun out of heaven and brought night on before its time, that his worshippers mighty make good their escape.

Sayana’s construction is a second attempt to get away from the idea of a straggle between Indra and the other gods. # Joshua said in the sight of Israel, Bun, stand thou still upon Gibeori* and thou, Moon, in thevvaliey of Ajalon. And th® sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies,.. So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down a whole day. ” Joshua x, 12, 13. misty notes.

ArinSfy. If this verse stood alone it would be 'easy to take ‘ irin&V in the sense of 6 you released the sun, let it go/ and to see in the verse a contrast to verse 4. But Sayana's ex¬ planation rests on the fact that in several passages of the Bigveda reference seems to be made to a contest between the sun and a being called Efcasa, in the course of which Indra came to the help of the latter. Roth cites, besides our passage, i, 61,. 15 (‘‘efcasam surye paspridhauiim ”) v, 29, 5 (“y&t suryasya hart- tah pdtantih purali sattr lipara £tase kah ,? ), i, 54, 6; iv, 17, 14 v, 31, 1L In other passages < <5tasah , is obviously the horse of the sun. In the Siebenzig Lieder it is taken in that sense here. The verse is obscure,, Verse 7. Padapatha: 1 srpr I fcr I sjflr I ff sff I I Hr I 13Tf S srsK'l I il vs SaTANA: t thrift.

This word occurs only here. The partici¬ ple of a corresponding denominative root occurs once, in x, 134, 2 , “ t ava sma durhanayatd martasya tanuhi sthiram. ” Sayana* durhanayatah duhkhapradarri hananam acharatah,” The word ' durhanS, ’ occurs twice* In i, 121, 14, u tvdm no asya indra durhanayafy pahi vajrivo duritad abhtke,” Roth takes it as a noun meaning 'bad luck, evil,’ Sayana, “durhanayah duhkena hantavyayah asyah avritter daridryat, &c.” In i, 38, 6, “ mdshti nah para-para mrritir durhana vadhit,” Roth takes it as an adjective in the sense of * hard to overcome, not to be resisted,’ Sayana, “durhana kenapi bantu m duhsakya.” Verse 9.
