Note 1. On the locative svar, see Lanman, 488; Joh. Schmidt in Kuhn's Zeitschrift, XXVII, 306; Bartholomae in Bezzenberger's Beiträge, XV, 42. Comp. X, 61, 14. svah ná yé trishadhasthénishedúh.

Verse 9.
Note 1. Is it not more probable that tribute was brought to Agni (comp. V, 1, 10) than to the human worshippers? Possibly we should change svah nah (svar nah of the Samhitâpâtha) into svarnah, a vocative of the stem svarnri svarnara. The translation would be, 'All men have brought tribute to thee, O sun-hero!'

Note 2. Regarding the metre, comp. above, 69, 8, note 1.
