शतपथ ब्राह्मण (शुक्ल यजुर्वेद - प्रथम भाग)

PREFACE. १७ 2. foll. 54. — kâṇḍa VIII E. I. H. 657. foll. 36. — kâṇḍa XIII E. I. H. 149. foll. 24; and partly of a fourth, viz: of the first kâṇḍa from the fourth brâh- maṇa of the seventh adhyâya (where the common copy of the Mâdhavîyabhâ- shya failed) as far as the end (in B. only as far as VIII, 3, 14), occupying 12 leaves in A. nine in B. and sixteen in C, — 3. Dvivedaçrînârâyaṇasûnu Dviveda Gaṅga's commentary of the Mâdhyan- dina Âraṇyaka: a very excellent copy (= M.) in the collection of the Rev. Dr. Mill, since added to the Bodleian library: foll. 322. — There are extant in Europe several copies of commentaries on the Vṛihad- Araṇyaka in the Kâṇvaçâkhâ, but as they have been already published by Dr. Roer in the Bibliotheca Indica nro. 6. Calcutta 1848, I do not think it necessary to notice them here. III. Ṛishitarpaṇam. Cham 506 b. 735. foll. 11. a sort of anukramaṇî of the Mâdhyandina Çatapatha Brâhmaṇa, enumerating a. the beginning words (pratîkâni) 1) of each adhyâya. 2) of each hundred of (the 7624) kaṇḍikâs (2800 · 5400 are enumerated twice differently). 3) of each prapâṭhaka. 4) of the last kaṇḍikâ of each kâṇḍa: b. the closing words of each kâṇḍa. — B. The accentuation in the manuscripts of the Çatapatha Brâhmaṇa is rather strange, as there only one sign is made use of, an horizontal stroke be- neath the line, for denoting the udâtta as well as the svarita. The udâtta has the stroke beneath itself: नृष॒दम्, the svarita beneath the preceding syllable: वी॒र्यम्. To avoid this ambiguity I have denoted the svarita in this edition by two hori- zontal strokes beneath the preceding syllable: वी॒॒र्यम्. — Before a following ac- cented syllable the preceding udâtta loses its denotation: 1) before an udâtta: केत॒पूः के॒तम् instead of ॰पूः॒ के॒तम्, म॒हो ये धन॒म् i. of म॒हो ये॒ धन॒म्, प॒र्णा न वे॒रनु i. of प॒र्णा न॒ वे॒रनु, अ॒ग्निर्हि वे धू॒र्य i. of अ॒ग्निर्हि॒ वे॒ धू॒र्य (१. १. २. १.), but र॒थवाही सा हि॒ न स्त्री न पुमा॒न् i. of ॰ही सा हि॒ न स्त्री न पुमा॒न् (५. ५. ४. ३५.), as there would be wanting too many signs. A seeming exception only is यं-य॒मसुराणाम् १. ६. ३. २८, as the second यम् is not accented: see पाणिनिसू० ८. १. ३. 2) before a svarita: नेष्टृ॒॒ङ्नम् १. ७. २. १., मानुषं नेष्टृ॒॒ङ्नम्, यज्ञो वै॒॒ स्वः, दे- वा वै॒॒ स्वः — The preceding svarita on the contrary retains its denotation be-
