9. Additions and Corrections
⌊Omissions and errors not easy to rectify in the electrotype plates.—Of the omissions and errors, the minor ones have been made good in the plates; the more considerable ones are rectified here, and to these ​rectifications special attention is called at the proper places by a hand (☞) inserted in the plate and pointing to the number of this page or the following.
57 (ii. 13. 3): Confusion of surd and sonant, aspirate and non-aspirate. This is shown by the variants of the following passages which I have noted: AV. vi. 3. 3; 28. 1; 29. 3; ix. 9. 17; x. 4. 13, 23 (sarvebhyo); 7. 43; xi. 1. 2; 5. 1; xii. 2. 23; 3. 2, 55; 4. 29; xiii. 1. 1; 2. 15, 43; xiv. 2. 31, 37 (vṛddhaye), 68; xviii. 1. 30; 2. 14, 35, 47; 3. 52; 4. 63; xix. 9. 8; 11. 6; 13. 5; 24. 6 (adhi dhās); 33. 3; 34. 2, 3; 36. 3; 38. 1 (gantho); 39. 10; 56. 4, 5. Roth discusses these matters, ZDMG. xlviii. 106-111. Cf. above, p. 1043, Index, s.v. Surd; also J. Hertel, Tantraākhyāyika, 1904, p. xvi; and Bloomfield's Vedic Concordance, passim (e.g., under atha and adha).
58 (ii. 14, introd.): See Ludwig, Sb. der Böhmischen Ges. der Wiss., 1898, no. 10, p. 11.
94 (iii. 7. l): As to viṣāṇā, see references in Index, s.v., p. 1044.
197 (iv. 27. 6): Neither von Schröder nor I can find the MS. citation.
266 (v. 25. 8): ÇGS. reads abhi kranda vīlayasva.
327 (vi. 61. 3): Add: ⌊Here ends the sixth anuvāka, 10 hymns with 30 verses; the Anukr. quotation is [pañcama-]ṣaṣṭhāu triṅçatkāu (read triṅçakāu?).⌋
455 (vii. 90. 3): The Old Anukr. says [dvitīya-]aṣṭamāu nava. The dvitīya- was not given at p. 404, but refers to anuvāka 2, with its 9 hymns.
461 (vii. 101. 1): The hymn is treated at length by Pischel, Album-Kern, 115-7.
547 (ix. 7, introd., line 10): The an-uktapāda verses are rather all except 7, 18, 19, 22, 23.
601 (x. 8. 43): Garbe, in his Sāṁkhya-tattva-kāumudī, Abh. der Bayerischen Ak. der Wiss., xix., p. 529, reports previous views as to this verse, renders b by "mit drei Schnüren (d. i. dreifach) umhüllt," and takes "triply covered" as referring to skin and nails and hair.
792 (book xvi., introd.): It occurred to me as an afterthought (p. clviii, note) that the Pāli term Paritta, 'protection, defense' (cf. Sanskrit paritrāṇa), might be an acceptable equivalent in a single word for 'a prayer against the terror by night.' See Index, p. 1043, s.v. Paritta, and compare the use of the term in the Jātaka, ii. 34$^{16}$. 35$^{22}$, and especially at 148$^9$. The Mora-jātaka contains a Paritta to be used at sunrise (ii. 33$^{19}$; iv. 334$^4$) and one to be used at sunset (ii. 35$^{11}$; iv. 334$^7$).
943 (xix. 30): It is of interest to note that a part of this hymn was translated by Sir William Jones in a botanical essay published by him in the Asiatick Researches, Calcutta, 1795, vol. iv., p. 257. In the London reprint of 1798, it may be found at ​iv. 253; and in that of 1801, at iv. 243. I do not remember meeting any earlier translation into English of a part of this Veda.
970 (xix. 45. 2): Whitney cites doubtfully, at Grammar, §194, the MS. combination suhā́rṇ ṇaḥ. At §150 b he records instances of retention of radical non-nasal mute after r: thus, ū́rk, várk, avart, ámārṭ, suhā́rt; compare Kielhorn's Grammar, §14 of either edition, German or English.⌋
