Usrdyama. This word occurs in only one other passage, iv, 32, 24, <( ararn ma usrayamne ’ram dnusrayamne babhru yatneshv asridha.” Sayana, he indra asridha asridbau ahinsakau habhru babhruvarnau tvadiyavasvau yameshu gamanesbu prapteshu satsu usrayamne usrabhyam anucjdbhyam yuktena rathena yatity usrayama tasmai me mahyam aram alum pHryaptakarinau fohavatam amisra- yarnne padbhyam eva gachchbate mahyam a ram pary aptakarinau bhavatam.” In both passages Roth takes it to mean ‘coming in the morning.’ ■ 2. Visvapsnyah. The meaning of this rare word is not certain. On vii, 42, 6, ** ray&skamo visvapsnyasya staut/ 1 Sayana’s note is a agnim devam visvapsnyasya pururiipasya dhanasya labhaya staut.” On viii, 97, 15 he has the following note with regard to 'visvapsnyasya:’--“ psa iti rupanama rupe sadhu psyam nakaropa-janas chhandasali bahurupam.” 3. In line 1 of the commentary Muller inserts ‘yo’ before ‘ratho’ by conjecture. It is not in my MS., and it does not appear to me to be wanted. In line 4 my MS. has 4 tad ratho,’ the reading of M. M.’s A. Bl. In line 5 ‘athavaha’ is difficult. M. M, suggests that we should read ‘anya aha/ as Sayana has on vi, 42, 2, and this seems very probable. In the same line Miiller reads ‘vam’ for ‘va* against all NOTES. NOTES. 245 the MSS., and wrongly. He has mistaken the meaning of the note. The alternative explanation of the verse which Say ana is referring to does not altogether reject the previous explanation of the word ‘visvapsnyah’ in the text. But it seeks to add “vasishtho va.” It goes on to say that < jigati’ means ‘stauti’ (and not *gachchhati\) Terse 5, Pajdapatha ; ^1 ^TWT^l^r: | R I 1 $- I 1 fatl S^Tt I crw- I I 3Tf%W| faI I tWt J 1 ^rtfa' II ^ SayanA : % srpq;rr xr=rr ®wi*r i 57 777x3- qfw &*** i wijwtpwnnw ^ wjL ^rsrirrPTJm s 3 fi?r I 3 ^ ^ 7 ft srrei m*iw: i 3 tTfr 3 Vaftcrnft: ^RrenrfW-nst pw- ^7SP?

In 1. 4 M. M. corrects the ‘niparayatam’ of the MSS. to ‘nya- paravatam,’ This does not seem necessary. Sayana wants simply to tell the student that the word in the text must be taken in a causal sense. He does not trouble himself about the omitted augment.

Abbud agnih satmdhe manushanam. This clause is paren¬ thetical. Men must light the fire on the altar to greet the coming Dawn. 2. Badhamana. Neither of Sayana’s explanations can be accepted. It is the Dawn that has made a light, and is driving away the darkness. Compare No, 18, verse 5, In line 5 of the commentary the MSS., including my Bhao Daji and Kohlapore MSS., read‘ f badhamfinam va.'* Muller rejects the *va/ It would perhaps be better to reject both words.

In line 4 Muller adds <l vasuni aatrunarp. dhananya bhara ahara, ” from one of his MSS. only. It is not in either of mine, and is pro¬ bably an interpolation. Compare the next note. MINfSty In ft ire 3 of the commentary Muller adds “ rathavad rathair upetam ” after “ asvavad nsvais chopetatn ” from two of his MSS. only. Jt is not in either of mine, 3nd is clearly an interpolation. For if Saynna had written the clause he must have written “ rathais <ila ” t0 correspond with the “ asvaischa ” of the previous clause.
