VEDIC HYMNS.
Note 2. It is doubtful to which word savaså belongs. I take it to be used adverbially with vyushtishu.
Verse 6. Note 1. We might also translate, protect men from the stronger one,' as we read I, 129, 4. pâtám ka sáhyasah yuvám ka rábhyasah nah; and still more clearly in IV, 55, 1. sáhîyasah varuna mitra mártât. But I doubt whether nrin by itself would be used in the sense of our men, while narah is a common name of the Maruts, whether as diváh nárah, I, 64, 4, or as nárah by themselves, I, 64, 10; 166, 13, &c.
Note 2. On the meaning of avaya in ávayâtahelah, see Introduction, p. xx:
Note 3. On dadhânah, see VIII, 97, 13, &c.
