337 penance' (çramajanitaṁ tapaḥ). Emendation to çāntam 'tranquillized,' i.e. tranquillity, would be very easy, and tolerably satisfactory. *⌊Whitney's collation certainly notes also D.Kp. as reading sám:jñapayāmi; probably his eye rested on the sam॰jñápanam of b (which in his collation-book stands just above the sám॰jñapayāmi of d), when he wrote the above statement. I suspect that the avagraha of sám॰jñapayāmi has blundered in from the sam॰jñápanam of a and b by a similar mistake of the scribes.⌋ ⌊Cf. the pada reading úpa॰çekima at vi. 114. 2.⌋

3. As the Ādityas, severe (ugrá), not bearing enmity, united with the Vasus, with the Maruts, so, O three-named one, not bearing enmity, do thou make these people here like-minded.

1. I thrust yon man out of home, the rival who fights [us], with the oblation of ejectment; Indra hath demolished him.

2. Let Indra, Vritra-slayer, thrust him to the most distant distance, whence he shall not come back, through constant years (sámā).

3. Let him go [beyond] three distances; let him go beyond the five peoples; let him go beyond the three shining spaces, whence he shall not come back, through constant years, so long as the sun shall be in the sky.

Instead of étu, TB.Āp. have three times ihí, and they omit pādas d, e; RV. (viii. 32. 22 a, b) agrees with them in pādas a, b. Ppp. reads anu for ati at end of b, and has, for c, the corrupt iha ca tvā tu rocanā; it omits d, e, like the other texts. The pada-text reads rocanā́ (not -nāḥ), maintaining the usual and proper gender of the word, although, being qualified by tisrā́s, it is apparently taken here as feminine, and should be rocanāḥ.
