interpolations and corruptions. The minor discrepancies are,
brâhmano vai brahmakaryam upayan' (upayakkhan, C. I. and T.); padâtmanyeva katurthah pâdah; yadagnaye samidham âdadhâti; atha yad âtmânam daridrîkrityâhrîr bhûtva bhikshate brahmakaryam karati ; atha yad akâryavakah karoti ya eväsyâkârye. In the second passage the Dekhan MSS. read, however, like the printed text. The interpolations are, Now when he recites the Veda, &c., and the verse, 'He commits sin if he neglects,' &c.

-nâm sanâyâpi pitrinâm anyâbhyah kriyâsas, M.; api ha vai snätvå bhikshâm karatyavigñatinâmasanayâpi pitrinâm anyâbhya kriyâbhyah, C. I. As it is by no means certain that Baudhấyana's reading agreed with that of the printed text, I have left the passage out.
5. 1. Regarding the term Snataka, see Âpastamba I, 11, 30, 1-4. Govinda thinks that the following rules are intended to apply in the first instance to a student who has performed the Samåvartana on completion of his studentship and lives unmarried at home. For though the Smriti declares it necessary for a student to enter, on completing his term, at once into one of the remaining three
