Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 In his _History of Sanskrit Literature_, Macdonnell writes: "There are six verses in the RgVeda not analysed in the Pada text, but only given there in the Samhita form. This shows that Sakalya did not acknowledge them as truly RgVedic, a view justified by internal evidence." Unfortunately, a footnote enumerating these verses is completely garbled in the Motilal Banarsidass edition of the book that I have. This reads: vii. 59 I9 ; x. 20, I; I2I, I0, I90, I-3 where numeral 1 and capital I are typographically indistinguishable, and the apparent deciphering into VII.59.19, X.20.1, I.20.10, I.90.1-3 falis because Sukta I.20 has only 8 verses. Can anyone provide the correct numbers, and also expand on the "interal evidence" that makes them dubious? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
