metres of the Purvārcikel. Chapter VI vives that of the Āranya-kayla † and the Mahānämnyárcik..
Chapter VII deals with the metres of the Uttarārcika. It must be pointeil out here that the method of treatment adopted in this chapter is rather different from that followed in the preceding chapters. While the preceding chapters give metres or the stanzas of the Purvārcika cte, exhaustively in detail, this chapter deals only with exceptional ases; cp, in this connection, a geirianti: gazat: Petrus A&TIT (p. 17, lines --- ). By the way, it also points out the cases of Vikūras ( ! = irregular metres ).
Chapter VIII deals with the colours and deities of the various metres. This is followed by four stanzas describing the sources of the work and euloyizing the science of metre. VI. THE DATE AND AUTHORSHIP
OF THE WORK. It is very difficult to assign ever i general dato to the composition of the Upanidūra-sūtra. The fact that the work is of the same nature as the Anukramanis of the other Vedas, and is written in the Sūtra style, the tone of its concluding stanz'ıs as well as of the first Sūtra, all this indicates that it must belong to a considerable antiquity. But in spite of all this, it is Pārvārcika, it is not clear why the stanza sfera fra: #7701 (3081812313) is quoted here. In the printed texts of the Samaverlin it occurs only in the littararrika.
