ÂPASTAMBA'S YAGÑA-PARIBHÂSHÂ-SÚTRAS.
Commentary. The pronunciation is loud, ukkaih, but soft, mandra. Satyavrata restricts this rule to the passages mentioned in Satra X. He also treats the second part of Satras XII, XIII, and XIV as separate Satras.
SOTRA XIII. Before the Svishtakrit (at the Darsa-parnamâsa) sacrifice, and at the midday Savana, the recitation is to be with the middle voice.
SOTRA XIV. In the remainder and at the third Savana with the sharp (krushta) voice !.
Commentary. The remainder refers to the Darsa-parnamasa sacrifice, the three Savanas to the Soma sacrifice. Satyavrata takes all these rules as referring to the cases mentioned in Satra X.
SOTRA XV. The movement of the voice is the same.
Commentary. In the three cases mentioned before, the voice moves quickly, when the words are to be pronounced high; slowly, when low; and measuredly, when neither loud nor low.
SOTRA XVI. The Hotri-priest performs with the Rig-veda.
SOTRA XVII. The Udgâtri-priest with the Sâma-veda.
See on this, Rig-veda Prátisâkhya 13, 17; Âsval. I, 5, 27; Sânkh. I, 14; Hillebrandt, I. c. p. 103.
