L. 1. The grain used for the sacrifices is brought to the sacrificial enclosure in a bullock-cart, which afturwards is made over to the priests. Hence a cart is twice enumerated among the fees. The sense of thiza, "conveying," seems to be clear from the context, but its etymology is not certain. The l'rukrit dictionaries and grammars give tara as an equivalent of tirichha (tirynk) and tryasra, which do not answer in this case, l'ossilly tansa may be here a noun of action, derived from the root tars, "to move, to shake." Saputo stanıl: for Sanskrit satpatta, "an excellent dress or piece of cloth" (see also below, line 4). I take garinan for the gen. pl. of gdri. "a cow," governed by satu," one hundred," which is expressed by a figure only. The expression " a second horsesacrifice" shows that the last sacrifice mentioned, the name of which has been lost, must also have been a horsesacrifice.
? L. 4. I am not able to find the Bhagalulusarútra in the Srauta-sútras. But as l'hagala is the name of an ancient Drahmanical teacher, it is not improbable that a rite, called after him, existeil. Regarding the Garyatri rátra, see Ascalagana Šruta-sútra, x. 2, 6. The Gavamayana is one of the Sattras, or sacrificial sessions. The Aptoryîma is a well-known Soma sacrifice.
# L. 5. The Angirasamayana is also a Sattra. I leave the name Satitirutu in its I'rakrit form, hecause I am unable to identify it in the Srauta-set 18. Regarding the Angirasatriritra, see An Srauta sútri, ii, 2, 1.
+ L. 6. Regarding the Chhandumaparuncinatriretru, see Pet. Diet., s. r. Chhandoma.
