MANDALA IV, HYMN 12.

NOTES.
The same Rishi and metre.-Verse 4=TS. IV, 7, 15, 6; MS. III, 16, 5. Verse 5=MS. IV, 11, 1. Verse 6=TS. IV, 7, 15, 7; MS. III, 16, 5; IV, 11, 1.
Verse 2. Note 1. With the beginning of this verse, comp. above, IV, 2, 6.
Verse 3. Note 1. Comp. Roth, Zeitschr. der D. Morg. Ges., XLVIII, 114.
Verse 4. Note 1. Grassmann is right in giving to purushatra the meaning 'unter den Menschen,' and in observing with reference to our passage: 'wo die Bedeutung "nach Menschenweise” (s. purushátà) besser passt.' The same is the opinion of Böhtlingk-Roth. No doubt we should read purushátâ ; cf. VII, 57, 4=X, 15, 6. yát vah agah purushátå kárâma; IV, 54, 3. ákitti yát kakrimá ... purushatvátå.
Verse 6. Note 1. This verse is identical with Rig-veda X, 126, 8.
