Look at धी: in standard Devanagari धी, the ी goes up and curves to the right, down to the vertical. Here, there is a vertical bar, and... wait! Look at the top: Is it ी with an accent? Or is it ौ? Wait, look at ऽराधि in line 13: ऽराधि has ध with ि (short i). In line 14: is it तन्मे ऽराधीति (aradhit + iti -> aradhīti)? "तन्मेऽराधीति" = "तन्मे अराधि" + "इति"!

PREFACE.

In preparing the text of this second volume of the Baudhāyana- śrautasūtra the editor has had to cope with many more difficul- ties than he had to do when preparing the text of the first volume. Indeed, a few months ago I was almost despairing of obtaining sufficient material for this volume. The fact is, that the tradition of these parts of the sūtra, describing for the greater part the rituals, partly obsolete, partly less observed than the darśapūrṇamāsa, agnyādheya and agniṣṭoma, is, throughout India, a very bad one. The MSS. of Bombay, Benares, Gwalior, Dhar and Ujjain are all together more or less corrupt and seem partly to derive from one archetype, in which not only were lost the right arrangement of the materials and the numbering of the praśnas, adhyāyas and khaṇḍikās, but the text of which was also hopelessly corrupt in many a passage. And no com- plete copy of Bhavasvāmins Vivaraṇa, which would have been of paramount use, seems to be extant. Although Professor Hultzsch has taken all possible pains to hunt up more MSS. from Southern India and has set to work two pandits to unearth more material, he has, alas, not succeeded. Professor Bhandar- kar of Elphinstone College also was kind enough to provide me with more material, but it was of the same kind: on the whole corrupt from beginning to end. Nearly despairing, I wrote to Dr. Thomas, Librarian-in-Chief to the India Office, requesting him to look over, for my sake, once more the Mackenzie Collection of Sanskrit MSS. preserved at the India Office. And he was so fortunate as to light upon one MS. (cp. infra the enumeration of the MSS.) containing a wholly independent tradition of the text I stood in need of so much. This MS., too, is far from faultless, but it throws light on many a difficult passage, and, what is the main point, the arrangement of the praśnas seems to be correct in this MS. Before I knew this Mackenzie MS., I had my doubts about which part of the sūtra constituted the so-called uttarā tatiḥ. In the MS. from Benares, where the praśnas are all numbered by a secunda manus (cp. my paper "Ueber das rituelle Sūtra des Baudhāyana," p. 12), the praśna coming after the dvādaśāha and gavām ayana, num- bered here as the 17th, contains the atirātra, the sautrāmaṇī and the ekādaśinī. In the copy of Bhavasvāmins Vivaraṇa, known to me from the beginning up to the aupānuvākya (consequently giving the first fourteen praśnas complete), is found neither the aśvamedha nor the dvādaśāha and gavām ayana, but immedi- ately after the aupānuvākya comes the ekādaśinī. Now, as the MS. of Bhavasvāmin ends with the words: iti bhavasvāmikṛte

ii PREFACE. kalpavivaraṇe tatau dvitīyo 'dhyāyaḥ, and the Mackenzie MS. agrees exactly with this numbering, as it gives the number dvitīyaḥ precisely at the end of the passage treated lastly by Bhavasvāmin, there is no doubt at all that the Mackenzie MS. is right and that the uttarā tatiḥ begins with the atirātra and the immediately following ekādaśinī. This being the case, the statement of B and Be, that the 17th praśna should have contained the atirātra, sautrāmaṇī and ekādaśinī must be false. On account of the fact that the Mackenzie MS. agrees in this respect with Bhavasvāmin and that in other points this MS., of all those known to me, also seems to have preserved the correct order, I have adopted the arrangement of the materials as given by this MS. In consequence of this arrangement, the one adopted pre- viously has been abandoned: thus the numbering of the praśnas and partially that of the adhyāyas in the text coming after the gavām ayana is wholly different from the numbering followed by me in citing passages from Baudhāyana in my above paper on this sūtra. But however valuable this Mackenzie MS. may be, it has not cleared up all the dubia regarding the arrangement of the mate- rials. There are two more points to be settled. The first is a ques- tion analogous to a difficulty in the construction of the text of Vol. I (the place where the pravargya had to be put in), viz., the place to be assigned to the Kāṭhakasūtra. In the MSS. from Benares (Be) and Bombay (B) it is numbered as the 18th, in the MS. Haug it is numbered as the 21st. The Mackenzie MS. assigns a place to this praśna between the agnicayana and the vājapeya, without, however, giving a praśna-number to it.¹ As the con- tents of this praśna are mentioned neither in the Dvaidha- nor in the Karmāntasūtra, no further information is to be obtained from these texts. But as it is highly improbable that this praśna should have formed part of the uttarā tatiḥ, the number 18 assign- ed to it by Be and B can by no means be right. In accordance with the MS. Haug,² and with the place occupied by this material in the brāhmaṇa (viz., at the end of the Taitt. Brāhm.) I have inserted it after the uttarā tatiḥ. In consequence of this new arrangment the numbers of the following praśnas (Dvaidha, Karmānta and Prāyaścitta) will have to be changed accordingly. By doing so I may come into collision with the original number- ing, which, it seems, is unknown to us. But this is a point of minor importance. Another question has also puzzled me greatly. In the uttarā tatiḥ, as handed down to us in the Mackenzie MS., two

¹ Praśna numbers are not found in the Mack. MS. ² This MS. gives as the number of the Kāṭhakapraśna : 21; the same MS. numbers the three Karmāntapraśnas : 22, 23, 24; and the Dvaidhapraśnas : 25, etc. This is obviously an error (cp. my paper on the Baudh. sūtra, p. 13, 14) But at any rate this MS. inserts the Kāṭhaka immediately before Dvaidha and Karmānta.

PREFACE. iii adhyāyas are found, the contents of which are entirely foreign to a śrautasūtra, viz. the adhyāyas 12 and 13 of praśna 17, treating of the samāvartana, a subject we would expect to be treated rather in the gṛhyasūtra. Now, the tradition of the gṛhyasūtra is in this respect not wholly consistent either. Most of the MSS. of the gṛhyasūtra have in the gṛhyasūtra proper (second praśna) a chapter commencing thus : vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam, and in the so-called paribhāṣā-sūtra a chapter commencing : vedam adhītya snāsyann ity upakalpayate, etc. This last part is identical with the long passage found in the Mackenzie MS. of the śrautasūtra and here inserted as adhyāya 12 of the first uttarā tatiḥ praśna. This distribution of the material in the MSS. of the gṛhyasūtra cannot possibly be right, for obviously the passage vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam refers to the passage vedam adhītya snāsyann ity upakalpayate, which therefore must have preceded. I possess a very good copy in Grantha writing of the whole gṛhyasūtra, kindly procured me by Professor Hultzsch. In this MS. the long passage commencing : vedam adhītya snāsyann ity upakalpayate (the passage given by the Mackenzie MS. as forming part of the śrautasūtra) stands where the chapter vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam is inserted by the other MSS. Before the Mackenzie MS. came into my hands I thought this was all right. But not long ago I received one more copy of the gṛhyasūtra, copied from an original preserved at Madras. This MS. throws some light on this hitherto obscure point. Where the other MSS. (except the one from Madras, designed by me as M) have the chapter vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam, this MS. reads : vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam; asya samāvartanasya nātra pāṭhaḥ, kimtu anyatra paṭhitam; atra samgṛhya vilikhitam atropayogāt; then comes the text given by Mackenzie as xvii. 12 and 13, and the rest of the chapter vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam. Now, as it is impos- sible that the passage referred to in the opening words ity uktam samāvartanam could have followed, it seems highly probable that the treatment of the samāvartana was originally incorporated in the uttarā tatiḥ, and that here the Mackenzie MS. is right too. I possess now another copy of the complete gṛhyasūtra, which confirms this statement. This MS. gives in the second praśna the chapter vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam, but in the paribhāṣā the text given by the Mackenzie MS. (as xvii. 12, 13) is not found. It is not improbable that the scribes of our śrauta- sūtra, finding the treatment of the samāvartana foreign to a śrautasūtra, omitted it and inserted it in a more proper place (the gṛhyasūtra), disturbing, in doing sō, the first praśna of the uttarā tatiḥ. For it is remarkable that none of all the other MSS. of the śrautasūtra give for this praśna (the 17th) any adhyāya- or khaṇḍikā-number; the Mackenzie MS., on the other hand, gives the adhyāya- and khaṇḍikā-numbers, and, in accordance with this

iv PREFACE. fact, at the close of this praśna, all the pratīkas of the adhyāyas and khaṇḍikās, including those of the chapters on samāvartana. How it occurred to the diasceuasts of the śrautasūtra to insert the samāvartana among the subjects treated in the śrautasūtra, I am, however, at a loss to explain. So this Mackenzie MS. was of the greatest help in constituting the text of Vol ii. The tradition of the cayana, vājapeya and rājasūya chapters is in this MS. inferior to that of the following chapters. To these, however, it is of the greatest value : entire passages, omitted by all the other MSS., are found here, and in many a passage it is easy to prove that only the reading found in M. (Mackenzie) is right, over against the oftentimes unanimous reading of all the other MSS. As no complete copy of the Vivaraṇa seems to be available, we are thrown upon our own resources to understand the meaning of this text. Of some use are, of course, the cognate texts of Āpastamba and Hiraṇyakeśin, but, as these are much more real sūtras than the text of Baudhāyana, and conse- quently, on the whole, much shorter, the help procured from these texts is rather inefficient. In passages, where new words or unknown expressions occur, I have, therefore, as a rule, adhered to the reading of M. The corruption of the other MSS. is so great, that it is not worth while mentioning all their various readings. So, e.g., in the description of the vrātyastomas : here the text of all the MSS., with the exception of M., is one hopeless confusion. It is highly to be regretted, that this Mackenzie MS. is not wholly complete : some final leaves are wanting ; conse- quently the text of the important last chapters of the second uttarātatīḥpraśna had to be edited as well as possible after the corrupt MSS. This is all the more to be regretted as they contain the legends of Purūravas and Uśanas. After the above remarks, the reader and student of the second volume of Baudhāyana will be indulgent to the editor, who thought it better to give a text, however imperfect, rather than postpone its publication ad calendas graecas, as, after years of inquiry, no more help seemed to be forthcoming. After these preliminary remarks, I shall now give a list of the MSS. used in editing Vol. ii.

1. M, being No. xxviii. (new number : 92) of the Mackenzie Collection at the India Office, see Wilson, a descriptive catalogue of the Oriental MSS. collected by Lt.-Col. Mackenzie, Vol. i., p. 6 ; old palmleaf MS. in Nandināgarī characters, 44 c.m. long, 2½ large, well-written but slightly injured ; the pagination is continuous. It contains the following parts :— (a) karmāntasūtra, one leaf numbered 2 and containing Karm. i., kh. 3 from : ° ta āvāpo bhavati taṃtram tu unto jagatīti, close of kh. 5 ; then on 20 leaves numbered 21-41, the rest of the Kar- mānta, beginning praśna ii., kh. 27, from : ° bṛhaspatibhyāṃ tvā juṣṭam unto the end of the Karmānta.

Preface to Vol. i., p. vii. 3. Be (Be 115) cp. ib. p. vii, viii. 4. U, being a nearly complete collection of the Baudh.-sūtras, neatly written on paper in Nāgarī by the same hand. From Ujjain. The avāntaradīkṣā is not found in this collection. It contains on 158 leaves (numbered continuously) the contents of Vol. i. ; the pravargya comes after the agniṣṭoma ; it closes with kh. 17. Then come the agnicayana, vājapeya, etc. No praśna numbers are given here and in the following parts, which are all numbered separately; its colophon runs : śake 1762 bhādrapada kṛṣṇa 2 ravivāsare taddine āṭhavele ity upanāmakagaṇeśabhaṭṭātmajarāma- candreṇa likhitam. Through the kind mediation of Professor Bhandarkar I was allowed the use of this MS. MSS. containing single parts :— 5. H cp. Preface to Vol. i., p. viii. : cayana, vājapeya, ati- rātra, aptoryāma, ekādaśinī, kāṭhaka, and sautrāmaṇī. 6. F cp. Preface to Vol. i., p. ix. (vājapeya). 7. D, being a collection of various parts of the sūtra found at Dhar, the loan of which was procured to me also by Professor Bhandarkar. Paper, Nāgarī writing, different handwriting. It contains the iṣṭikalpa in a rather good tradition, although badly written; the dvādaśāhapraśna, atirātra, uttarā tatiḥ, very badly written and in the same hopelessly corrupt tradition as the other MSS. 8. Tr, being a copy in Grantha writing on paper from an origin- al in Trichinopoly, pretending to be a complete śrautasūtra (!). It contains : the whole of the text already published in Vol. i. ; the pravargya, together with its prāyaścitta and the avāntaradīkṣā, precedes the agniṣṭoma. After the agniṣṭoma come : 1. cayana (foll. 225-276); 2. sautrāmaṇī (foll. 277-282); 3. vājapeya (foll. 282-297); 4. atirātra (foll. 297-305); 5. aptoryāma (foll. 305-306); 6. the three prāyaścitta praśnas (foll. 306-343). The praśna numbering of this copy is utterly worthless. 9. MS, being the sūtra passages of the cayana as found in the mahāgnisarvasva, in Grantha writting on palmleaves, belong- ing to the India Office (cp. Burnell, a catalogue of Sanskrit MSS., Part i., p 27); MSc., the reading presented by the Mahāgnisar- vasva commentary itself.

्यासे"? No, "अन्त्यासे" (in the end/border). What is "गम्य"? No, could it be "शम्या"? Wait! Look at the first letter of that word! Is it 'ग' or 'श'? LOOK AT IT! It's 'श'!! Look at line 1: "शालां" -> no, line 1 has "रशने". Line 7 has "शालां". Look at "शालां": the first letter of "शालां" is 'शा'. Now look at the word after "शालां": It has 'श'! No, wait! Does it have a loop at top-left like 'श'? No, look at 'श' in "शर्करा" (line 4): round top loop. In this word in line 7: The letter has two vertical parts? Wait! It's "शम्यान्त्यासे"! A shamya-fall! A shamya-throw! "शम्याप्रासे"??? Wait! Is it "शम्याप्रासे"? Look at: Letter 1: श (sha) Letter 2: म्या (myaa) Letter 3: प्रा (praa) or न्त्या (ntyaa)? Wait! "शम्याप्रासे"! "śamyāprāse" - at the distance of a shamya-throw! YES! "शम्याप्रासे"! That is one of the most

वन्त्वे? Look at the letter: 'न्' + 'वे' = 'न्वे'? Wait, the mantra is: "प्रतूर्वन्नेह्यवक्रामन्..." (TS 4.1.2.e: "प्रतूर्वन्नेह्यवक्रामन् प्रत्नौकसा...") Wait, is it "प्रतूर्वन्ने-" or "प्रतूर्वन्त्वे-"? Look closely at the glyph: It has 'न्' followed by 'ने'? Wait, look at 'न्' - there is a loop, and then a vertical line with an 'े' above it: that's 'ने'! Wait, why does it have a bottom stroke? Wait, is it 'न्' + 'वे'? 'वे' has a loop. It looks like 'न्वे' or 'ने'! Wait, in TS 4.1.2.e: "प्र तूर्व॒न्नेह्यव॑ क्रामन्प्रत्नौकसा..." Yes! "प्रतूर्वन्नेहि"! ("प्रतूर्वन्" + "एहि" = "प्रतूर्वन्नेहि"). So it is definitely: "प्रतूर्वन्ने-"!
