THE Grihya-sitra ascribed to S4nkhdyana, which has been edited and translated into German by myself in the XVth volume of the Indische Studien, is based on the first of the four Vedas, the Rig-veda in the Bashkala recension’, and among the Brahmaza texts, on the Kaushitaka. Its reputed author, whom we ordinarily find called by his family name, Sankhayana, had the proper name Suyagiia. This we may infer from the lists of Vedic teachers given in different Grvihya texts where they describe the Tarpaza ceremony. Though in these lists the order of names varies very much, yet the two names Suyagiia and Sankhéyana are constantly placed side by side, so that this fact alone would render it probable that they belonged to the same person. Thus we read in the Sankhayana-Grzhya IV, 10= VI, 1: Kaholam Kaushitakim, Mahakaushitakim, Suyagiam S4ankhayanam, Asvalayanam, Aitareyam, Mahaitareyam. Here we have grouped together the two Brahmaza authors (with the fictitious doubles, the great Kaushitaki, the great Aitareya) and the two corresponding Sdtra authors belonging to the two chief branches of the Rigveda literature; first comes one Brahmaza author (for Kahola Kaushitaki is one person) with the Sdtra author connected with him, then the second Sitra author and the corresponding Brahmava teacher. In the SAambavya-Grihya (Indische Studien, XV, 154) the corresponding passage runs thus: Gargya- Gautama- Sakalya- Babhravya- Mandattavya 1 See IV, 5, 9. B 2

[sic]- Mazdikey4k Suyagiia- Samkhydyana- Gatukarnyeyah [sic] Paimga [sic]- Sambavy’-Aitareyah. The same Grvthya still more explicitly bears witness to the name of Suyagiia Sankhayana, by adding at the end of the list from which these names are quoted the following words: Suyagiia Sakhayanas [sic] tr7[pya]tu, i. e. ‘May Suyagiia Sankhayana satiate himself (with the water offering). In the Asvalayana-Grihya III, 4, we read: Kaholam Kaushitakamz Mahakaushitakam Paingyam Mahdapaingyam Suyagiam Sankhayanam Aitareyam Mahaitareyam. We may also quote here a K4rik4 given by Narayana! in his great commentary on the Sankhayana-Grzhya (I, 1, 10): Atrarazipradanam yad adhvaryu kurute kvakit? matam tan na Suyagiiasya, mathitam so tra ne&khati. It would perhaps be hazardous to claim for the author of this K4arika the authority of an independent witness, for very likely he may have derived his knowledge from the lists of teachers which we have quoted before. But at all events the concordance of the three Grihya texts furnishes _a proof which, I think, cannot be set aside by another testimony which we must mention now. At the end of the Kaushitaki-Arazyaka (Adhyaya 15) we find a Vamsa or list of the teachers by whom the knowledge contained in that Arazyaka is supposed to have been handed down. The opening words of this list run thus: ‘Om! Now follows the Vamsa. Adoration to the Brahman! Adoration to the teachers! We have learnt (this text) from Guz4khya S4nkhadyana, Guvdkhya SAnkhayana from Kahola Kaushitaki, Kahola Kaushitaki from Uddalaka Aruzi, &c.’ It is a very natural supposition that the author of this list intended to begin with the name of the Doctor eponymus, if we may say so, of the Satras of his school, and then to proceed to name the Doctor eponymus of the Brahmanas, and after him the more ancient teachers and 1 Manuscr.
