NOTES. I, 43, 9.

Verse 7.
Note 1. Tuvi-nrimna would seem more appropriate as a vocative. In verse 8, too, I should prefer to take Soma as a vocative, like Benfey and Grassmann.
Verse 8.
Note 1. I read Soma, paribádhah. See Delbrück, Synt. Forsch. p. 116.
Verse 9.
Note 1. Unless we can take mûrdha for a locative, attracted by nabha, I should propose to read mûrdhán nấbhâ. It can hardly be an adverbial Dvandva, mûrdhâ-nâbhâ, nor do I see how it can be applied as a nominative to Rudra. The whole verse is difficult, possibly a later addition. On ritásya amritasya dhaman, see IX, 97, 32; 110, 4 (dhárman).
