cussed (see Kuhn, Beiträge, vol. iii, p. 472; Böhtlingk and Roth, Dictionary, vol. ii, p. 968 ; Bollensen, Orient und Occident, vol. ii, p. 463), all the MSS. which I know, read karayai, and not either karấthai nor garáyai.
VIII, 2, 29. kîrinam (Aufr. vol. ii, p. 84) instead of kârinam (M. M. vol. iv, p. 308) does not rest on the authority of any MSS., nor is it supported by Sayana.
VIII, 9, 9. Professor Aufrecht has altered the very important form åkukyuvîmáhi (M. M. vol. iv, p. 389) to åkukyavîmáhi (vol. ii, p. 98). The question is whether this was done intentionally and on the authority of any MSS. My own MSS. support the form akukyuvimahi, and I see that Professor Roth accepts this form.
VIII, 32, 14. âyántaram (Aufr. vol. ii, p. 129) instead of ayantáram (M. M. vol. iv, p. 567) is wrong

[I ought to state that all these errata have been corrected by Professor Aufrecht in his second edition.]
In the ninth and tenth Mandalas I have not to defend myself, and I need not therefore give a list of the passages where I think that Professor Aufrecht's text is not supported by the best MSS. My own edition of these Mandalas will soon be published, and I need hardly say that where it differs from Professor Aufrecht's text, I am prepared to show that I had the best authorities on my side.
Professor Aufrecht writes in the second edition of his Romanised text of the Rig-veda (p. iv): 'Um den Herren,
My own die diese Druckfehler in majorem gloriam
mistakes. suam mit so grosser Schonung hervorgehoben haben, einen Gegendienst zu erweisen, bemerke ich einige derselben.' Dieser Gegendienst, so gut er gemeint war, ist leider nicht sehr bedeutend ausgefallen, auch nicht immer in majorem gloriam Catonis.
In I, 161, 2, Professor Aufrecht objects to katuras krinotana. I felt doubtful about it, and in the commentary I printed katurah krinotana. In IV, 33, 5, the reading
