Emendation to the text of the Maitrāyaṇī Samhitā
Bhatta Bhaskara and Sāyaṇa derive from Vad vide. Their commentaries on TS 5-2-10-Sayana-4ff' and Bhatta Bhaskara - 'अददित् अद्यादेवानम् ।
The meaning of the entire line would be `These (apasyā) bricks are placed, it is to avoid excessive burning. The earth said-one who places these bricks verily eats food. He becomes consumer of food for whom these bricks are placed.'
