vii. 71- which has for d bhettā́ram bhan̄gurāvataḥ. Emendation in b to vápram 'rampart' seems called for; moreover, dṛṣádv- in c would be acceptable ⌊see Roth, ZDMG. xlviii. 108⌋. Ppp. has at the end -vataḥ, and sahasva in b.* The verse is also found in our text as viii. 3. 22. ⌊Winternitz, Hochzeitsrituell, p. 57, cites it from Bāudh. i. 6.⌋ ⌊W. interlines a mark of doubt as to his version of bhan̄g- and gives Henry's trompeur in the margin.⌋ *⌊Roth's Collation says simply "71 ebd. citiert." That means 'Found in Pāipp. xix., cited' [from its previous occurrence in xvi., where, according to R's Collation for viii. 3. 22, the variants are sahasva and bhan̄gurāvatām]. R. in his Notes says expressly that Ppp. too "has vipram for the correct vapram."⌋

 

1. Stand ye up; look down at Indra's seasonable portion; if cooked, do ye offer [it]: if uncooked, do ye wait (mad).

2. The oblation [is] cooked; hither, O Indra, please come forward; the sun hath gone to the mid-point of his way; [thy] companions wait upon (pari-ās) thee with treasures (nidhí), as heads of families on a chieftain (vrājapatí) as he goes about.

3 (76. 1). Cooked I think [it] in the udder, cooked in the fire; well cooked I think [it], that newer rite (? ṛtá); of the curds of the midday libation drink thou, O thunderbolt-bearing Indra, much-doing, enjoying [it].
