Paippalada excerpts concerning book xx.

⌊Roth, at the end of his Collation, adds the Ppp. variants for verses 12 and 16 and 17 of AV. xx. 34; the hymn appears in Ppp. xiii. and corresponds to the sá janāsa índraḥ hymn, RV. ii. 12.⌋

⌊Verse 12. In a, Ppp. has paryacarakṣac instead of paribhávaṁ; its b is yo vārgakasya vāpibat sutam; its reads yajamānaṁ bahuṁ janaṁ; and in d, it has āmorucakṣat for ámūrchat.⌋

⌊Verse 16. In a, Ppp. has vyakṣat putror up- for vyàktaḥ pitrór up-; its b is simply bhuvana veda janitaḥ; its c is parasyā bhaviṣyamāṇo hrojokṣad.⌋

⌊Verse 17. In a, Ppp. has haryasyaçur for háryaçva āsutér.⌋

⌊Then follows a note to the effect that nothing of the Kuntāpa hymns appears in Ppp.⌋

⌊Roth's Collation closes with the words:

"explicit feliciter 25. Juni 1884."⌋
