MANDALA I, HYMN 26.
15
Verse 6. Note 1. On sásvatá tánå see Lanman, 480, 515, 518.
Verse 9. Note 1. The comparison of verse 8 and the expression ámrita mártyânâm in the second Påda of this verse seem to show that ubháyeshâm does not refer to two classes of mortals, the priests and their patrons, but to the mortals and the immortals. A genitive amritânâm, which would make this meaning quite clear, can easily be supplied. A Dvandva compound amritamartyánåm, which one could feel tempted to conjecture, would have, in my opinion, too modern a character.—Prof. Max Müller writes: 'I should prefer amrita martyânâm, not exactly as a compound, but as standing for amritânâm martyânâm. This seems to be Ludwig's opinion too.'
Verse 10. Note 1. In the translation of sahasah yaho I follow Geldner, Kuhn's Zeitschrift, XXVIII, 195; Ludwig's translation is similar.
