VEDIC HYMNS.
Note 3. As to vrishâyáse with the accusative, comp. Gaedicke, 74. RV. X, 44, 4. ùrgáh skambhám . . . vrishầyase.
Note 4. With the last Pada comp. IV, 7, 9. krishnám te éma rúsatah puráh bhah.
Verse 8. Note 1. That is, among the fuel.
Note 2. I think that we have here probably—(though, of course, this explanation can be avoided)—an anacoluthon. The poet began with the nominative (abhivrágan), and then he changed the construction and went on as if he had begun with the ablative, taking sthâtúh karátham (comp. Lanman, 422) as the subject instead of Agni.—Patatrinah seems to be nom. pl.; comp. I, 94, 11 (see below).
Verse 7. Note 1. The translation of arati is only approximative and conjectural.
Note 2. Comp. Pischel, Ved. Studien, II, 113.
Note 8. Comp. III, 54, 3. saparyảmi práyaså yåmi rátnam.
Verse 9. Note 1. The last Pâda is the standing conclusion of the Nodhas hymns.
