I ÂRANYAKA, 3 ADHYÂYA, 5 KHANDA, 2.
181
18. Verily, these are all metres, these (Gâyatri, Trishtubh, Gagati) having the Virág as the fourth. In this manner this day is complete in all metres to him who knows this.
FIFTH KHANDA. 1. He extends these (verses) by (interpolating) the sound 1. Verily, the sound is purusha, man. Therefore every man when he speaks, sounds loud, as it were.
2. At the end of each foot of the first verse of the hymn tad id âsa, he inserts one foot of the second verse of hymn Rv. VIII, 69, nadam va odatinâm, &c. Thus the verse is to be recited as follows: Tad id âsa bhuvaneshu gyeshtham pu
nadam va odatinâm, Yato gagña ugras tveshanrimno ru
nadam yoyuvatinâm, Sadyo gagñano ni rinâti satrûn
patim vo aghnyânâm, Anu yam visve madanti amâh sho
dhenûnâm ishudhyasi.
first verse consist of ten syllables only, the fourth of nine or ten In order to bring them to the right number, the word purusha is to be added to what is a Virág, i.e. to the first, the second, and fourth feet. We thus get :
tad id asa bhuvaneshu gyeshtham pu yato gagna ugras tveshanrimno ru sadyo gaggiano ni rinkti satrún
anu yam visve madanti Umak Cf. Ait. Âr. V, 1, 6.
1 The sound, nada, is really a verse beginning with nadam, and which is interpolated after the syllables pu ru shah.
shah.
