PREFACE.
For this editio princeps of the Baudhāyana Śrauta Sūtra the
following MSS. have been used :

1. B. A modern copy in Devanāgarī writing made in 1868 by
   Vyaṅkājī Nārāyaṇa, containing, in eight parts, an almost complete
   text of our Sūtra. Copied for the Government of Bombay and
   registered as Class I. B. 5 (Elphinstone College), cp. the list
   published by Georg Bühler in the Journal of the German Oriental
   Society, Vol. XLII, p. 552. The MS. is carefully written on
   blue paper, 13 lines on a page, and, if I am not mistaken, in some
   places corrected and completed by the hand of Bühler. The text
   is on the whole correct, especially in the first nine praśnas. The
   later praśnas are also very carefully written, but copied from an
   original that must have been corrupted. The original of the later
   praśnas is probably a Grantha MS., as is shown by the nature of
   the clerical errors. The contents of this MS. are not those that
   have been given by Bühler in the Journal of the German Or. Soc.,
   but :
   (a) On 76 leaves the darśapūrṇamāsa, ādhāna, the daśādhyāyika,
   paśubandha, cāturmāsya and pravargya, together 2,500 granthas.
   (b) On 112 leaves the agniṣṭoma, cayaua, vājapeya, rājasūya
   and iṣṭikalpa, together 4,000 granthas.¹
   (c) On 22 leaves the aupānuvākya, 800 granthas.
   (d) On 16 leaves the aśvamedha, 500 granthas.
   (e) The uttarā tatiḥ, on 61 leaves, together 3,000 granthas.
   (f) On 22 leaves the last two dvaidha praśnas, 675 granthas.
   (g) The prāyaścittasūtra on 21 leaves, containing 700 gran-
   thas.
   (h) On 15 leaves part of a bhāṣya (by Sāyaṇa?) on the paśu-
   bandha; 500 granthas.
   From this analysis it will be seen that this MS. is of the greatest
   value for the construction of the text of our Sūtra, as it enables
   us, with the aid of the other MSS., to reconstruct nearly the
   whole Sūtra.
2. Be. A collection of texts belonging to the Government
   Sanskrit College, at Benares, No 115 (cp. Sūcīpattram, page 70).
   It consists of 18 parts, written by different hands on paper in
   Devanāgarī.
   (a) darśapūrṇamāsa, on 26 leaves, Śake 1677.
   (b) upavyāharaṇādhāne punarādhānādi hautrāntaṁ ca: the
   second and third praśnas, on 30 leaves; modern, well written.

this MS. in margiu : एकपासून•

PREFACE.
(c) paśusūtra, on 16 leaves, by the same hand as (a), on the
same kind of paper; Śake 1673.
(d) cāturmāsya, on 17 leaves, by the same hand as (a) and (c)
and on the same kind of paper; Śake 1660.
(e) cayanasūtra, 22 leaves; Śake 1803.
(f) vājapeya, on 9 leaves, well written, no year, corrected.
(g) rājasūya, on 12 leaves, written by the same hand and on
the same kind of paper as (f).
(h) iṣṭikalpa, on 14 leaves, Śake 1803; same hand and kind of
paper as (e).
(i) aśvamedha, on 15 leaves, well written, apparently by the
same hand as (f) and (g); corrected.
(k) dvādaśāha, on 16 leaves, corrected.
(l) mahāvrata, etc., called at the end: एकारबौख्यं on 17 leaves;
the numbers of the khaṇḍas are corrected so as to continue the
numbering of (k); apparently written, together with (k), by the
same hand that wrote (f), (g), and (i); partly corrected.
(m) kāṭhakasūtra, on 8 leaves; same handwriting and paper
as (e) and (h).
(n) uttarā tatiḥ, on 41 leaves, well written, but containing
a very corrupted tradition, just as B; happily the greater part of
this MS. has been carefully corrected. The khaṇḍa-numbers
have been partly effaced.
(o) dvaidhasūtra, on 63 leaves, śamamtaṃ (sic) 1825. Rather
badly written.
(p) first karmānta praśna, on 23 leaves, presents several
lacunæ.
(q) second and third karmānta praśnas, on 38 leaves; the
second praśna has been carefully corrected; the third is very
corrupted and full of lacunæ.
(r) śulbasūtra, on 17 leaves.
(s) pravarasūtra, on 7 leaves, written by the same hand as (e).
This valuable collection will be seen to contain a nearly com-
plete Baudhāyana Sūtra. Missing are the soma-, pravargya-,
aupānuvakya-, and prāyaścitta praśnas. On every part the
number of the praśna (here called adhyāya) is written; some-
times the number found in the original handwriting is corrected.
This (secondary) numbering of Benares 115 agrees wholly with
the numbering of the praśnas in B.
3. H, belonging to the Court and State Library at Munich,
registered as: MS. Sanskrit Cod. 107 (No. 163 of the "Verzeich-
niss"). This MS. contains in Devanāgarī writing: darśapūr-
ṇamāsa, ādhāna, the daśādhyāyikā, paśubandha, cāturmāsya,
agniṣṭoma, pravargya, cayana, vājapeya, the atirātra aptoryāma
and ekādaśinī chapters, the kāṭhakasūtra, the sautrāmaṇī, the
first two dvaidha praśnas, the karmāntasūtra, prāyaścitta,
śulbasūtra, and finally the dharmasūtra. Some parts of this
MS. are very badly written.

and Kashmir, mentioned by M. A. Stein in his Catalogue of
Sanskrit MSS. of His Highness the Mahārāja of Jammu and
Kashmir. The original MS. is written in Devanāgarī, has 135
leaves, 11 lines per leaf, the line 37 akṣaras; leaves 57-68 (the
paśubandha) are wanting. This MS. contains the darśapūrṇa-
māsa, ādhāna, the daśādhyāyika, cāturmāsya, agniṣṭoma, and
pravargya. Professor Hillebrandt of Breslau, for whom this copy
was made, allowed me with the greatest generosity the use of
this MS. At the end of the copy we find the following notice:—

ā, par exemple, sont rarement distingués et pa et ya ne le sont pas
d'avantage; l'anusvāra se confond parfois avec l'e.—Des correc-
tions faites, les unes dans la ligne, en surcharge, les autres à la
marge, avec un crochet de renvoi, paraissent provenir en partie
du scribe, mais sont dues le plus souvent à une autre main. Celle-ci,
ou une troisième, a ajouté un grand nombre d'additions à la
marge, en une écriture cursive et bacleé, très difficile à déchiffrer.
—Les mantras sont presque toujours accentués à l'encre rouge.
—Le texte est écrit, d'un bout à l'autre, sans alinéa, ni distinction
en sūtras, mais avec distinction de paragraphes plus longs, qui
sont chiffrés. Ces séries de paragraphes chiffrés sont au nombre de
quatre; mais à la fin de la première seulement se trouve l'indica-
tion que la série correspond à un praśna.—Le 1ᵉ feuillet recto est en
blanc, et porte le titre, d'une autre main que celle du scribe: बौधा-
यनीयमग्निष्टोमसूत्रमिदं —This MS. contains the Somasūtra, the first
praśna divided into 32, the second into 20, the third into 8, the
fourth into 14 khaṇḍas; the pravargya (without the avāntaradīkṣā)
consists of 17 khaṇḍas and closes with उदङ्ङमन्विष्टुकं वा । To the
greatest kindness of Mr. Aug. Barth I owe a collation of some
doubtful or otherwise interesting passages.
9. Be 11. No. 11 of the collection of Sanskrit texts belonging
to the Government Sanskrit College at Benares (see p. 73 of the
Sūcīpattra), containing on 19 leaves the dvādaśāha, rājasūya, and
vājapeya; dated Saṃ. 1877, Ś. 1742.
10. Be 4. No 4 of the same collection; 10 leaves; containing
the iṣṭikalpa, written by the same scribe who wrote Nos. 9 and 11;
on the last leaf the sahasrabhojanavidhi is added in the same writ-
ing.
11. Be 7. No 7 of the same collection (see Sūcīpattra, p. 71),
gives on 34 leaves the uttarā tatiḥ, viz., the same portion of our
Sūtra as given by Be 1 and 11. Well written, but preserving a very
corrupted tradition.
12. T. A copy from No 3796 belonging to the collection of
Sanskrit MSS. at the Palace of Tanjore, containing the rājasūya
only.
13. T. A copy from No. 3798 belonging to the same collection
containing the dvādaśāha.
14. T. A copy from No. 359 belonging to the same collection,
containing the pravarakhaṇḍa. These three copies have been pro-
cured for me by Dr. Hultzsch.
15. Brl. No. xciii. of the Burnell collection preserved at the
India Office in London. The pravarakhaṇḍa; cp. p. 35 of
the Catalogue of a collection of Sanskrit MSS. by A. C.
Burnell.
Other materials that have been used for the construction of
parts of our text are:—
Bh. The vivaraṇa of Bhavasvāmin.

Keś. The prayogasāra of Keśavasvāmin.
Sāy. The commentary of Sāyaṇa on the darśapūrṇamāsa.
Somapray. The Baudhāyanasomaprayoga by Rudradatta.
(I.O. 1262. 3. A).
Mādh. The 119 notations from Baudhāyana in Mādhava's com-
mentary on the Taittirīya Saṃhitā.
Mantramālā. The collection of Mantras used at the agniṣṭoma,
I. O No. 3009 (agniṣṭomamantramālā).
Śrautapadārtha. The śrautapadārthanirvacana by Nāgeśvara-
Shāstrī Somaṇa, printed at Benares Saṃvat 1944.
Although the number of complete MSS. used for this edition is
rather small, this circumstance is counterbalanced to a certain
degree by the fact, that all the MSS., which contain the text of
this first volume, are wholly independent of each other. The
independence of the various textual traditions contained in them
shows itself particularly in the numbering of the khaṇḍas and even
partly of the praśnas, which in none of the MSS. is the same
throughout. This fact increases not a little the difficulty of giving
the right numbering. The division in adhyāyas, on the contrary,
may be given with absolute security, at the hand of the Bhavasvā-
min Vivaraṇa. The discrepancy of the khaṇḍa numbering might
perhaps be explained from the fact that this division is obviously
of later times. Bhavasvāmin knows no division in khaṇḍas; at
least he does not mention it, just as Rudradatta in his commentary
on Āpastamba does not reckon with kaṇḍikās, but only with
paṭalas.
One of the greatest difficulties, if not the greatest of all, that
presents itself to the Editor of the Baudhāyana Kalpasūtra,
is the numbering and division of the praśnas. Even at the time
of Bhavasvāmin there existed more than one system of counting
and dividing the praśnas containing the agniṣṭoma ritual.
Bhavasvāmin mentions a threefold numbering. Firstly he divides
the agniṣṭoma portion into five praśnas, the first of which contains
10 adhyāyas (comprising the agniṣṭoma up to the prātaranuvāka
and closing with the words राजानं गोपायन्ति ); the second praśna
comprises the prātaḥsavana (5 adhyāyas); the third comprises the
mādhyandina savana (2 adhyāyas); the fourth comprises the tṛtīya
savana (also 2 adhy.); the fifth comprises the yajñapuccha (also 2
adhyāyas). This number of five somapraśnas is also found in the
Haug MS. Secondly, Bhavasvāmin knows a continuous numbering,
according to which the whole agniṣṭoma consists of 21 adhyāyas.
This system of numbering is also met with in the Haug MS.,
which gives no division in adhyāyas, but only in khaṇḍas, the
numbers of the khaṇḍas being omitted towards the end. The
third system of division known to Bhavasvāmin comprises two
parts: (1) the first praśna containing 10 adhyāyas; and (2) a
praśna containing 11 adhyāyas.

xii PREFACE.
Now, as all the MSS. give different divisions, most of them
not giving even any praśna numbers, I had to choose that
division which seemed to be most in accordance with the rest
of the work. The difficulties mentioned above become still more
complicated by the question, where the pravargya is to be
put in. Bhavasvāmin treats of it before the agniṣṭoma and the
Bombay and Tanjore MSS. place it before; other MSS. (J, F, P,
and the Benares MS. No. 63, mentioned Sūcipattra, page 70)
give it after the agniṣṭoma. As the analogy of the other Sūtras
and the contents of the pravargya section itself seem to point
to placing this praśna after the soma praśnas, I have not followed
in this respect the Vivaraṇa and the Bombay and Tanjore MSS.
Another consideration seems to stand for this arrangement;
there is more chance that the tradition of the pravargya section
became mutilated, when it was put at the close of the agniṣṭoma
as it is actually found in most of our MSS., than when it was
handed down at the beginning. As the cayana seems to be the
10th praśna, the vājapeya being the 11th (this number is given
to the vājapeya in the Haug MS.), there is room left for only
four praśnas between the cāturmāsya and the cayana praśnas
Now, if the pravargya section is to be taken as one of these,
then the soma proper cannot have contained more than three
praśnas. The division adopted by me agrees, as to the 2nd
and 3rd soma praśna, with the order given by F and by Keśa-
vasvāmin in his prayogasāra, although in his numbering (accord-
ing to the MS. of the India Office Library, at least) there are
slight inaccuracies. A short note, communicated to me by Mr.
A. Venis, found at the end of the agniṣṭoma MS. of the Benares
Sanskrit College, gives as numbers of the praśnas (here called
adhyāyas) of the agniṣṭoma portion, including the pravargya at the
end, the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, thus agreeing with the arrangement
accepted by me. The separate pravargya MS. No. 50 of the
same collection bears also the number 9.
The collection of various readings in this edition does not aim
at being complete. Wherever the comparison of the Vivaraṇa
and the evidence of corresponding passages make the reading
evident, I omitted to give the varietas lectionum. The anunāsikā
I put only before sibilants and before v and h, although the
MSS. do not all agree in this respect. In accordance with
the common use in the MSS., I omitted the visarga before
the combination of sibilant with tenuis, although the MSS. are
always consistent in this. The repetition of the words finishing
an adhyāya and the anticipation of the words of the following
khaṇḍa at the close of a khaṇḍa have not been taken into account,
as these repetitions are only met with sporadically.
As the text of the Baudhāyana Sūtra has been handed down in
sandhi form, without any trace of division into sūtras, I have not
divided what the ancient Brāhmans had united, and not followed
the example of other editors of ritualistic texts. I only separated

PREFACE. xiii
the sentences, by placing a little stroke above the line, without
being sure, however, to have given always the right interpunc-
tion.
The first volume of this edition of Baudhāyana is intended to
comprise :—

1. The darśapūrṇamāsa.
2. The ādhāna.
3. The daśādhyāyika praśna.
4. The paśubandha.
5. The cāturmāsyas.
6. The agniṣṭoma, with pravargya and avāntaradīkṣā.
   The second volume will, if the materials prove sufficient, contain
   the later praśnas from the cayana on, including the aśvamedha.
   The materials for the cayana, vājapeya, and rājasūya are sufficient.
   A third volume would contain the so-called uttarā tatiḥ, per-
   haps the most interesting part of the whole Sūtra. I hope to be
   able to obtain enough MSS. to publish this text.
   A fourth volume would comprehend the dvaidha, karmānta, and
   prāyaścitta praśnas.
   In course of time I hope also to be able to publish the gṛhya-
   sūtra, for which I have collected already sufficient materials. Of
   the pravara khaṇḍa four copies are in my possession. The very
   useful and instructing Vivaraṇa of Bhavasvāmin I also hope to
   edit, at the advice of Professor Hillebrandt of Breslau not, as I at
   first intended, in extracts, but the whole of it, as far as it is extant
   or accessible.
   Whether the promises here given will be fulfilled, depends
   chiefly on the materials I can have access to. Therefore, if there
   are European or Indian Scholars and Paṇḍits, who might know
   of more MSS. containing text and commentary than those used by
   me, they will lay not only me, but also science under deep obligation
   by communicating to me what they know of them.
   Finally, I have to express my thanks to the Trustees of the
   Libraries of the India Office and at Munich, who lent or caused
   Manuscripts to be lent to me, to Dr. Hultzsch, Government Epigra-
   phist at Bangalore, who kindly provided me with copies of some
   parts of the work, to Mr. Albin Venis, Principal of the Govern-
   ment Sanskrit College at Benares, who kindly permitted me the
   use of the most valuable Benares MSS., to Mr. Aug. Barth,
   who collated the MS. P, and above all to Professor Hillebrandt,
   who in the most generous way permitted me the use of the copies
   originally procured for him by Dr. Hultzsch and Dr. Stein.

' or 'द'.
Wait! Could it be 'तृ'?
Like 'तृच्छाखा'? No.
Wait, let's look at the ligature:
Could it be 'वृ'? Yes, 'व' with 'ृ' = 'वृ'.
Wait, could it be 'दृ'?
Wait, is there an anusvara? No.
Wait, what if the word is 'वृच्छाखापवित्रं'? Yes, it literally is printed: वृच्छाखापवित्रं!
Wait, let's look at letter 3:
Is it 'त्रिवृत्यल्लाग्रे' or 'त्रिवृत्तं लाग्र्यं'?
Let's look at:
'चि' or 'त्रि'?
Look at 'त्रि' in 'त्रिवृत्य-':
Wait, look at 'त्रि' in line 11: 'सहस्रधारमिति' ('त्रि' has a loop and down-left leg).
Look at line 1: the letter has a vertical stem, and from the left a horizontal stroke that goes left and down. That is 'त्रि'!
Then 'वृ': 'व' with 'ृ'.
Then 'त्य' or 'त्त'?
Look at 'त्य': 'त' + 'य'.
Then 'ल्ला' or 'ला'?
It has double 'ल': 'ल्ल' with 'ा' = 'ल्ला'.

नुजानात्यथ निर्वपति"
In Baudhayana Srautasutra, the chapter begins:
Wait, is it:
निर्वप्स्यन् ?
Wait! निर्वप्स्यन्?
Let's look at the word:
निर्वप्स्यन् -> नि र्‍व प त्स्य न्?
Wait, does it have an anusvara?
Wait, if it is निर्वप्स्यन् निर्वपेति यजमानो ऽनुजानात्यथ निर्वपति:
Wait! "निर्वप्स्यन् 'निर्वपे'ति यजमानो ऽनुजानाति"!
WAIT!
Does the Adhvaryu say anything, or is it:
"निर्वप्स्यन् 'निर्वपेति' यजमानो ऽनुजानाति"?
No, the Yajamana permits him when he is about to pour out:
"निर्वप्स्यन्तं निर्वपेति यजमानो ऽनुजानाति" (accusative) or
"निर्वप्स्यन् [पृच्छति]..."?
WAIT! Look at the image!
नि र्‍व प त्स्य न्?
Wait, look at the end of the word:
Does it have a virama under न?
Look closely:
`नि - र्व - प - त्स्य
