The majority of our mss. read çāitá in b, c, d; çyāitá is given by I.O.D.R.K. In b, I.O.K. have saptaṛṣ-; in c, d they agree with the rest in saptarṣ-. ⌊The çyāita and nāudhasa mentioned together at KBU. i. 5.⌋
3. Paryāya the third.

1. He stood a year erect; the gods said to him: Vrātya, why now standest thou?
One ms. (O.) accents ūrdhvó ‘t-. The Anukr. apparently reads -vó at- and scans as 10 + 6 + 8 = 24.
2. He said: Let them bring together a settle ⌊āsandī́⌋ for me.
The Anukr. implies só ab- and -tu íti.
3. For that Vrātya they brought together a settle.
The Anukr. implies -yāya ās-. With the description that follows compare that of a similar structure in KBU. i. 5, and JB. ii. 24, ⌊AB. viii. 12, and my note to xiv. 2. 65⌋.
4. Of it, both summer and spring were two feet, both autumn and the rains [were] two.
5. Both bṛhát and rathaṁtará were the two length-wise [pieces], both yajñāyajñíya and vāmadevyá the two cross[-pieces].
Nearly all our mss. (not Bp., which has -cye íti) give anūcyè; ⌊and SPP. so reads without note of variant⌋. At the end, the majority have tiraçcé or else -çcè (E.O.K. have -çcè: but Bp. has -çce íti); and this accent ⌊the svarita⌋ points distinctly toward tiraçcyè, which is doubtless the true reading; it is given by R.T., and I. has -çcyé, with wrong accent; our text is to be emended accordingly to tiraçcyè (cf. adharācyà, anūcyà, apīcyà, udīcyà, pratīcyà, prācyà). ⌊SPP. reads tiraçcyè with no less than six of his authorities; and these are supported, pro tanto, by nine others that read -çcè.⌋
6. The verses (ṛ́c) the forward cords (tántu), the sacrificial formulas (yájus) the cross ones.
The descriptions in KBU. and JB. have ātāna instead of tantu.
7. The Veda the cushion (āstáraṇa), the bráhman the pillow (upabárhaṇa).
