page 798 note 1 See Macdonell, , Vedic Grammar, p. 107Google Scholar; Delbrück, , Altindische Syntax, p. 47Google Scholar. Whitney, Sanskrit Grammar, § 1083a, is less precise than usual. The same rule prevails in the Atharvaveda, Whitney, AVPr. 185.

page 798 note 3 v, 54, 13.
page 798 note 4 Raraṃta, as on p. 518, seems to be a misprint. The rendering “gave” is hardly strictly correct; the form must be a perf. imper. from ran, not randhor rā; see Oldenberg, , Rgveda-Noten, i, 351Google Scholar, and cf. Macdonell, , Vedic Grammar, p. 362Google Scholar, Whitney, Sanskrit Grammar, § 813; rārandhí in RV. x, 59, 6; the sense is “make wealth enjoy itself with us”.
page 798 note 5 Yuchāti is not desirable (cf. Oldenberg, loc. cit.), for the present gives a perfectly good sense, describing the kind of wealth, and accords best with the sentence, making the construction of the comparison simple and easy.
page 799 note 1 Cf. Delbrück, , Altindische Syntax, pp. 594, 595Google Scholar. Cf. also RV. i, 143, 5: ná yó várāya marútām iva svanáḥ séneva sṛṣṭā divyā yáthāśániḥ, where na likewise must be taken with the comparison.

page 799 note 4 See e.g. Arnold, , Vedic Metre, p. 287Google Scholar; Macdonell, , Sanskrit Literature, p. 34Google Scholar. RV. v, 54, is one of the Atri collection, and though perhaps not a very early member of that group, is certainly older than x, 85.
