6. Whitney's English Captions to his Hymn-translations

These captions form an important element in his interpretation of this Veda.—Upon this subject I have already spoken in the proper place, above, p. xcv, which see. I would merely repeat the statement that these captions or hymn-titles have been formulated with much care and deliberation by the author, and give briefly his view of the general purport of each hymn. The absence of a positive view in them is often to be taken as indicating that he could not accept the view of his predecessors. Such titles of individual hymns as are not from Whitney's hand are enclosed in ell-brackets; but the headings to the Grand Divisions and to the books of division III. and to the paryāyas of books xv. and xvi., although not bracketed, are from the editor's hand.⌋

In tabular form, they give a useful conspectus of the subject-matter of this Veda.—While this fact is obvious, it is perhaps not so obvious that the giving of this table as a part of the Table of Contents in volume VII., beginning on p. xv, would have detracted much from the perspicuity of that table as a guide to this work as a whole. Moreover, such a table as this is more naturally sought near the end of the work, and the balance of the two volumes is better maintained by putting these pages in volume VIII.⌋

Note on the division of this work into two separately bound volumes.—With reference to this subject, the reader is asked to consult the paragraphs entitled "External form of this work," volume VII., pages xxiv.-xxv. In order to arrange the following matter so that Division II. should face Division III. (pages 1034-5), it was necessary to leave this page blank. The blank may be utilized in part to show clearly that the break between volume VII. and volume VIII. corresponds with the break in the text between the first grand division on the one hand, and the second and third grand divisions on the other.
