page 724 note 2 But hardly so gross as Caland, & Henry's, rendering (L'Agniṣṭoma, p. 305)Google Scholar of the unaccented vāvṛdhe in Taittirīya Saṃhitā, i, 4. 20, as “qui . . . a grandi”. Yáḥ in the first part of the verse has no predicate expressed, but this common ellipsis (Delbrück, , Altind. Synt. p. 11Google Scholar) should not have misled the translators, who cannot be unaware of the rules of the Vedic accent. And what of the rendering at p. 411 of ājyānim in Taittirīya Saṁhitā, iii, 3. 8fas “les beurres” (ājyāni) ?

page 725 note 2 It is quite impracticable to avoid using conventional renderings unless the Sanskrit is always kept, and Dr. Caland himself does so elsewhere. For sadas as properly and originally “seat”, see Sátapatha Brāhmaṇa, iii, 6. 1. 1; sthālīpāka is dealt with in my Aitareya Āraṇyaka p. 254.
