PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.
lxiii
P 2) give it with the accent on the last syllable (M. M. vol. ii, p. 912), and this no doubt is right. The same mistake occurs again in III, 51, 10, (Aufr. p. 259); IV, 5, 11, (Aufr. p. 281); IV, 36, 2, (Aufr. p. 309); V, 12, 3, (Aufr. p. 337); while in VIII, 103, 9, (Aufr. vol. ii, p. 195) the MSS. consistently give asya as unaccented, whereas Professor Aufrecht, in this very passage, places the accent on the last syllable. On the same page (p. 259) amandan, in the Pada, is a misprint for ámandan.
III, 53, 18. asi (Aufr. p. 262) instead of asi (M. M. vol.ii, p. 934) is wrong, because hi requires that the accent should remain on asi. S1, S2, S3, P1, P2 have asi.
IV, 4, 7. svá Kyushe (Aufr. p. 279) instead of svá Kyushi (M. M. vol. iii, p. 37) is not supported by any good MSS., nor required by the sense of the passage. S1, S2, S3, P1, P2 have ayushi.
IV, 5, 7. árupitam, in the Pada, (Aufr. p. 280) instead of árupitam (M. M. vol. iii, p. 45) is right, as had been shown in the Prátisåkhya, Satra 179, though by a misprint the long a of the Samhità had been put in the place of the short a of the Pada.
IV, 5, 9. read gaúh (M. M. vol. iii, p. 46) instead of góh (Aufr. p. 281).
IV, 15, 2. yati, with the accent on the first syllable, is supported by all MSS. against yâti (Aufr. p. 287). The same applies to yati in IV, 29, 2, and to várante in IV, 31, 9.
IV, 18, 11. ami, without any accent (Aufr. p. 293), instead of ami (M. M. vol. iii, p. 105) is wrong, because amí is never unaccented.
IV, 21, 9. no, without an accent (Aufr. p. 296), instead of nó (M. M. vol. iii, p. 120) is wrong.
IV, 26, 3. átithigvam (Aufr. p. 300) instead of atithigvám (M. M. vol. iii, p. 140) and VI, 47, 22, átithigvasya (Aufr. p. 437) instead of atithigvásya (M. M. vol. ii, p. 776) are wrong, for atithigvá never occurs again except with the accent on the last syllable. The MSS. do not vary. Nor do they vary in the accentuation of kútsa : hence kutsám (Aufr. p. 300) should be kútsam (M. M. vol. iii. p. 139).
