107 in d kalaçīs; half the mss. (including our Bp.E.I.H.K.) accent kalaçāís. The comm. explains jágatā as gamanaçīlena gavādinā, which is doubtless its true sense. The verse is found also in AGS. (ii. 8. 16), PGS. (iii. 4. 4), ÇGS. (iii. 2. 9), and HGS. (i. 27. 4): the first two and the last have (like Ppp.) tvā, and ÇGS. reads enam (for é ’mā́m); for jágatā, PGS. has jagadāis and AGS. jāyatām; ÇGS. gives bhuvanas, with pari for sahá; all differ again as to the last word, presenting -upa (PGS.), ayan (AGS.), ayann iva (HGS.) or gaman (ÇGS.); and ÇGS. has further kumbhyās in c, while for parisrútas AGS. has pariçritas and HGS. hiraṇmayas ⌊see also MP. ii. 15. 4 and MGS. ii. 11. 12$b$⌋. The epithet ārṣī, added by the Anukr. to the metrical definition of the verse, is without meaning as distinguishing it from vs. 9 ⌊cf. iii. 14. 6, note⌋.

8. Bring forward, O woman, this full jar, a stream of ghee combined (sam-bhṛ) with ambrosia (amṛ́ta); anoint these drinkers (?) with ambrosia; let what is offered-and-bestowed defend it (f.: the dwelling?).

9. These waters I bring forward, free from yákṣma, yákṣma-effacing; I set forth (? pra-sad) unto (úpa) the houses, along with immortal (amṛ́ta) fire.
