Govinda states that the wards iti fa, ‘and so forth, are intended to include other incantations. The Vrzshakapi hymn is found Rig-veda X, 86. 11. Govinda states that the word iti, ‘and the like,’ is intended to include cowdung, cow’s urine, and other substances used for purification. 12. Govinda states that there is a tree called Tripa, the bark of which is used for dresses.

For as Soma is said to be a great means of purification, it might be supposed -that it was powerful enough to prevent the defilement of vessels into which it is poured at a sacrifice. But compare the next Sfitras. 14. 8. A great river, i.e. one which directly flows into the ocean.— Govinda. g. A Vinada, i. e. (a vessel) made of bamboo or Vidagdhanaza ; it is called a ‘long vessel’ (dirghabhaganam), and is used for carrying the Prawita water and the like purposes.—Govinda. The vessel I, 6, 14. PURIFICATION AT SACRIFICES. Ig! 10. (Sacrificial implements made of) plaited Na/areeds, bamboo, or Sara-reeds (shall be) washed with cowdung, water, and the like. 11. If unhusked rice has been defiled, (it must be) washed (and afterwards be) dried. 12. But a great quantity (of unhusked rice must be) sprinkled. 13. Husked rice (which has been defiled must be) thrown away. 14. The same (rule applies) to cooked sacrificial viands. 15. But if a great quantity has been defiled by (the touch of) dogs, crows, and the like (unclean beings), one must throw away that portion (as) food for men, and sprinkle (the rest with water), reciting the Anuvdka, ‘Pavamanad’ suvarganak.’ 16. Hydromel and preparations of milk (are) purified by pouring them from one vessel into another. intended is no doubt the flask made of a bamboo which is cut below the joint, and is commonly used as a bottle for oil. Govinda adds that this mode of purification is to be adopted in case the vessels have been touched by impure persons. 10. Na/a-reeds, i.e. Amphidonax Karka; Sara, i.e. Saccharum Sara. Govinda says that the rule applies to cases where such implements have been defiled by remnants of food (ussfishéalepa). 11. ‘ Defiled, i.e. touched by a Kandala.’ (The rule) refers to a quantity less than a Droa (66 or 132 Ibs.).—Govinda. 13. ‘If it has been defiled by urine and the like and the quantity is small;’ this must be understood, because he will declare (below, Sftra 1g) that if there is a great quantity (the defiled) portion only shall be thrown away.—Govinda. 14. This, too, refers to small quantities only. 15. The Anuvaka referred to is Taittirtya-brahmama I, 4, 8. 16. ‘Hydromel, i.e. sour milk, honey, clarified butter, water, and 192 BAUDHAYANA.
