बौधायन श्रौतसूत्रम् (कृष्ण यजुर्वेद तैत्तिरीय शाखा - सम्पूर्ण प्रश्न एवं श्रौत-याग कल्प सटीक)

PREFACE. iii
adhyāyas are found, the contents of which are entirely foreign to a
śrautasūtra, viz. the adhyāyas 12 and 13 of praśna 17, treating
of the samāvartana, a subject we would expect to be treated
rather in the gṛhyasūtra. Now, the tradition of the gṛhyasūtra is
in this respect not wholly consistent either. Most of the MSS.
of the gṛhyasūtra have in the gṛhyasūtra proper (second praśna)
a chapter commencing thus : vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam
samāvartanam, and in the so-called paribhāṣā-sūtra a chapter
commencing : vedam adhītya snāsyann ity upakalpayate, etc. This
last part is identical with the long passage found in the Mackenzie
MS. of the śrautasūtra and here inserted as adhyāya 12 of the
first uttarā tatiḥ praśna. This distribution of the material in the
MSS. of the gṛhyasūtra cannot possibly be right, for obviously
the passage vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam refers
to the passage vedam adhītya snāsyann ity upakalpayate, which
therefore must have preceded. I possess a very good copy in
Grantha writing of the whole gṛhyasūtra, kindly procured me by
Professor Hultzsch. In this MS. the long passage commencing :
vedam adhītya snāsyann ity upakalpayate (the passage given by
the Mackenzie MS. as forming part of the śrautasūtra) stands
where the chapter vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam
samāvartanam is inserted by the other MSS. Before the
Mackenzie MS. came into my hands I thought this was all right.
But not long ago I received one more copy of the gṛhyasūtra,
copied from an original preserved at Madras. This MS. throws
some light on this hitherto obscure point. Where the other MSS.
(except the one from Madras, designed by me as M) have the
chapter vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam, this MS.
reads : vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam; asya
samāvartanasya nātra pāṭhaḥ, kimtu anyatra paṭhitam; atra
samgṛhya vilikhitam atropayogāt; then comes the text given by
Mackenzie as xvii. 12 and 13, and the rest of the chapter vedam
adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam. Now, as it is impos-
sible that the passage referred to in the opening words ity uktam
samāvartanam could have followed, it seems highly probable that
the treatment of the samāvartana was originally incorporated in
the uttarā tatiḥ, and that here the Mackenzie MS. is right too.
I possess now another copy of the complete gṛhyasūtra, which
confirms this statement. This MS. gives in the second praśna the
chapter vedam adhītya snāsyann ity uktam samāvartanam, but in the
paribhāṣā the text given by the Mackenzie MS. (as xvii. 12, 13)
is not found. It is not improbable that the scribes of our śrauta-
sūtra, finding the treatment of the samāvartana foreign to a
śrautasūtra, omitted it and inserted it in a more proper place (the
gṛhyasūtra), disturbing, in doing sō, the first praśna of the uttarā
tatiḥ. For it is remarkable that none of all the other MSS. of the
śrautasūtra give for this praśna (the 17th) any adhyāya- or
khaṇḍikā-number; the Mackenzie MS., on the other hand, gives
the adhyāya- and khaṇḍikā-numbers, and, in accordance with this

iv PREFACE.
fact, at the close of this praśna, all the pratīkas of the adhyāyas
and khaṇḍikās, including those of the chapters on samāvartana.
How it occurred to the diasceuasts of the śrautasūtra to insert the
samāvartana among the subjects treated in the śrautasūtra, I am,
however, at a loss to explain.
So this Mackenzie MS. was of the greatest help in constituting
the text of Vol ii. The tradition of the cayana, vājapeya and
rājasūya chapters is in this MS. inferior to that of the following
chapters. To these, however, it is of the greatest value : entire
passages, omitted by all the other MSS., are found here, and in
many a passage it is easy to prove that only the reading found in
M. (Mackenzie) is right, over against the oftentimes unanimous
reading of all the other MSS. As no complete copy of the Vivaraṇa
seems to be available, we are thrown upon our own resources to
understand the meaning of this text. Of some use are, of course, the
cognate texts of Āpastamba and Hiraṇyakeśin, but, as these are
much more real sūtras than the text of Baudhāyana, and conse-
quently, on the whole, much shorter, the help procured from these
texts is rather inefficient. In passages, where new words or
unknown expressions occur, I have, therefore, as a rule, adhered
to the reading of M. The corruption of the other MSS. is so
great, that it is not worth while mentioning all their various
readings. So, e.g., in the description of the vrātyastomas : here
the text of all the MSS., with the exception of M., is one hopeless
confusion. It is highly to be regretted, that this Mackenzie MS.
is not wholly complete : some final leaves are wanting ; conse-
quently the text of the important last chapters of the second
uttarātatīḥpraśna had to be edited as well as possible after the
corrupt MSS. This is all the more to be regretted as they contain
the legends of Purūravas and Uśanas.
After the above remarks, the reader and student of the second
volume of Baudhāyana will be indulgent to the editor, who
thought it better to give a text, however imperfect, rather than
postpone its publication ad calendas graecas, as, after years of
inquiry, no more help seemed to be forthcoming.
After these preliminary remarks, I shall now give a list of
the MSS. used in editing Vol. ii.

1. M, being No. xxviii. (new number : 92) of the Mackenzie
   Collection at the India Office, see Wilson, a descriptive catalogue of
   the Oriental MSS. collected by Lt.-Col. Mackenzie, Vol. i., p. 6 ;
   old palmleaf MS. in Nandināgarī characters, 44 c.m. long, 2½ large,
   well-written but slightly injured ; the pagination is continuous. It
   contains the following parts :—
   (a) karmāntasūtra, one leaf numbered 2 and containing Karm.
   i., kh. 3 from : ° ta āvāpo bhavati taṃtram tu unto jagatīti, close of
   kh. 5 ; then on 20 leaves numbered 21-41, the rest of the Kar-
   mānta, beginning praśna ii., kh. 27, from : ° bṛhaspatibhyāṃ tvā
   juṣṭam unto the end of the Karmānta.
   (b) śulbasūtra foll. 42-50 a.

(c) cayanasūtra foll. 50a-72.
(d) kāṭhakasūtra foll. 73-77.
(e) vājapeya foll. 78-83.
(f) rājasūya foll. 83-93.
(g) iṣṭikalpa foll. 94-105.
(h) aupānuvākya foll. 106-122.
(i) aśvamedha foll. 123-137.
(k) dvādaśāha foll. 137-148.
(l) uttarā tatiḥ (first praśna) foll. 149-168.
(m) ekāhas (sec. praśna) foll. 168-182.
The MS. breaks off after the 10th adhy. of praśna xviii.
2. B. cp. Preface to Vol. i., p. vii.
3. Be (Be 115) cp. ib. p. vii, viii.
4. U, being a nearly complete collection of the Baudh.-sūtras,
neatly written on paper in Nāgarī by the same hand. From Ujjain.
The avāntaradīkṣā is not found in this collection. It contains on
158 leaves (numbered continuously) the contents of Vol. i. ; the
pravargya comes after the agniṣṭoma ; it closes with kh. 17. Then
come the agnicayana, vājapeya, etc. No praśna numbers are
given here and in the following parts, which are all numbered
separately; its colophon runs : śake 1762 bhādrapada kṛṣṇa 2
ravivāsare taddine āṭhavele ity upanāmakagaṇeśabhaṭṭātmajarāma-
candreṇa likhitam. Through the kind mediation of Professor
Bhandarkar I was allowed the use of this MS.
MSS. containing single parts :—
5. H cp. Preface to Vol. i., p. viii. : cayana, vājapeya, ati-
rātra, aptoryāma, ekādaśinī, kāṭhaka, and sautrāmaṇī.
6. F cp. Preface to Vol. i., p. ix. (vājapeya).
7. D, being a collection of various parts of the sūtra found at
Dhar, the loan of which was procured to me also by Professor
Bhandarkar. Paper, Nāgarī writing, different handwriting. It
contains the iṣṭikalpa in a rather good tradition, although badly
written; the dvādaśāhapraśna, atirātra, uttarā tatiḥ, very badly
written and in the same hopelessly corrupt tradition as the other
MSS.
8. Tr, being a copy in Grantha writing on paper from an origin-
al in Trichinopoly, pretending to be a complete śrautasūtra (!). It
contains : the whole of the text already published in Vol. i. ; the
pravargya, together with its prāyaścitta and the avāntaradīkṣā,
precedes the agniṣṭoma. After the agniṣṭoma come : 1. cayana
(foll. 225-276); 2. sautrāmaṇī (foll. 277-282); 3. vājapeya (foll.
282-297); 4. atirātra (foll. 297-305); 5. aptoryāma (foll.
305-306); 6. the three prāyaścitta praśnas (foll. 306-343). The
praśna numbering of this copy is utterly worthless.
9. MS, being the sūtra passages of the cayana as found in the
mahāgnisarvasva, in Grantha writting on palmleaves, belong-
ing to the India Office (cp. Burnell, a catalogue of Sanskrit MSS.,
Part i., p 27); MSc., the reading presented by the Mahāgnisar-
vasva commentary itself.

vi PREFACE.
10. Bu, the text of the cayana as given in an appendix after
the above mentioned MS. (Burnell 55), comprising the text up to
kh. 24, breaking off after the words: nihanty āvṛhyāśmānam upa.
11. Be 11, cp. Preface to Vol. i., p. x., No. 9: dvādaśāha
(without gavām ayana), rājasūya, vājapeya.
12. T, cp. Preface to Vol. i., p. x., No. 12: rājasūya only.
Of the rājasūya MSS. B Be and U agree mostly; on the other hand
Be 11 and T go together. M is independent.
13. Be 8, cp. Preface to Vol. i., p. x., No. 10 (here cited as
B 4) contains the iṣṭikalpa.
14. Be, a copy of the aupānuvākya praśna from Benares
(Nāgarī, paper) on 14 foll., well-written but containing on the
whole the same tradition as B and Be (115).
15. Be, a copy of the kāṭhakasūtra from Benares (see sūcipat-
tra, p. 72, No. 10), paper, Nāgarī, 7 leaves.
16. Be (12), a copy of the atirātra from Benares (see sūcipat-
tra, p. 72, No. 12), paper, Nāgarī, 3 leaves.
17. G, an original MS. of the aupānuvākya from Gwalior on
paper in Nāgarī, procured on loan by Professor Bhandarkar.
18. T, a copy of the sautrāmaṇi in the collection of Sanskrit
MSS. preserved at Tübingen (M.a. i., 317) Nāgarī, paper.
19. MS and MSc, text and commentary of the ekādaśinīsūtra
contained in the MS. of the Mahāgnisarvasva, cp. supra No. 9.
Other sources, which were of more or less help, are the Viva-
raṇa of Bhavasvāmin up to the aupānuvākya, the Vivaraṇa of
the atirātra, the aptoryāma and the sautrāmaṇi, and lastly the
Prayogasāra of Keśavasvāmin on the contents of which cp. my
paper on the Baudh.-sūtra, p. 15.
My thanks are due, for procuring me the use of some of these
MSS. and for taking pains in having copied others for me, to Dr.
Thomas, Librarian-in-Chief of the India Office, to Professor
Hultzsch, to Professor Bhandarkar at Bombay, to Mr. A. Venis
at Benares, and to the British Government, which enabled me to
collate some of the originals of the above mentioned manuscripts.

्यासे"? No, "अन्त्यासे" (in the end/border).
What is "गम्य"? No, could it be "शम्या"?
Wait! Look at the first letter of that word!
Is it 'ग' or 'श'?
LOOK AT IT!
It's 'श'!!
Look at line 1: "शालां" -> no, line 1 has "रशने". Line 7 has "शालां".
Look at "शालां": the first letter of "शालां" is 'शा'.
Now look at the word after "शालां":
It has 'श'! No, wait!
Does it have a loop at top-left like 'श'?
No, look at 'श' in "शर्करा" (line 4): round top loop.
In this word in line 7:
The letter has two vertical parts?
Wait! It's "शम्यान्त्यासे"!
A shamya-fall! A shamya-throw! "शम्याप्रासे"???
Wait! Is it "शम्याप्रासे"?
Look at:
Letter 1: श (sha)
Letter 2: म्या (myaa)
Letter 3: प्रा (praa) or न्त्या (ntyaa)?
Wait! "शम्याप्रासे"! "śamyāprāse" - at the distance of a shamya-throw!
YES! "शम्याप्रासे"!
That is one of the most

वन्त्वे? Look at the letter: 'न्' + 'वे' = 'न्वे'?
Wait, the mantra is:
"प्रतूर्वन्नेह्यवक्रामन्..." (TS 4.1.2.e: "प्रतूर्वन्नेह्यवक्रामन् प्रत्नौकसा...")
Wait, is it "प्रतूर्वन्ने-" or "प्रतूर्वन्त्वे-"?
Look closely at the glyph:
It has 'न्' followed by 'ने'?
Wait, look at 'न्' - there is a loop, and then a vertical line with an 'े' above it: that's 'ने'!
Wait, why does it have a bottom stroke?
Wait, is it 'न्' + 'वे'? 'वे' has a loop. It looks like 'न्वे' or 'ने'!
Wait, in TS 4.1.2.e:
"प्र तूर्व॒न्नेह्यव॑ क्रामन्प्रत्नौकसा..."
Yes! "प्रतूर्वन्नेहि"! ("प्रतूर्वन्" + "एहि" = "प्रतूर्वन्नेहि").
So it is definitely: "प्रतूर्वन्ने-"!

Line 9:
ह्यवक्रामन्प्रत्नौरित्यन्वञ्चं गर्दभं पूष्णा सयुजा सह पृथिव्याः
Wait, after "प्रत्नौ":
Is it "प्रत्नौरिति" or "प्रत्नौकसौ"?

In Baudhayana: "...शर्कराभिरवाञ्जनपिष्टाभिरजलोमैः"?
Wait, look at the letters:
श र्के रा भि र
then वा
then ञ्ज? Look at it: it has ञ्ज (ña-ja), with a loop: ञ्ज or प्सु?
Wait, look at पिष्टाभिरजलोमैः:
पि ष्टा भि र ज लो मैः
Before पिष्टाभि:
Is it अवाञ्जन?
Let's zoom into line 2:
शर्कराभिर
then वा (or दा?)
then ञ्ज (or ङ्क?)
then न?
Wait! In Sanskrit: "अवाञ्जन"? No, what about "अवाप्सु"?
Wait! Let's check Caland's edition of Baudhayana Srauta Sutra, volume 2, page 5:
Text: athainam aśmakapālaiḥ śarkarābhir avāñjanapiṣṭābhir ajalomaiḥ kṛṣṇājinalomair iti saṁsṛjati
IT IS INDEED avāñjanapiṣṭābhir! That is `अवाञ्

orर्? Wait! In Shrautasutra, the fire/shed is शालामुखीय! Is it शालामुखीयबिलमिवावटं? Wait, look at शालामुख: The next letter has: a loop with a tail? That is रु? Wait, could it be उरुबिलमिवावटं? शालामुखादुरुबिलमिवावटं! Look at line 9: शालामुखादुरुबिलमिवावटं! YES! श ा ल ा मु ख ा दु रु बि ल मि वा व टं! Look closely: श ा ल ा मु ख ा(ख with aa-matra)दु(da with u-matra)रु(ra with u-matra)बि ल मि वा व टं शालामुखादुरुबिलमिवावटं`!
"शालामुखात् उरुबिलम् इव अवटं खानयति" - brilliant!

Wait, could it be "दौश्चर्म"? No, there's no 'र' or 'म'.
Wait, look at: 'दौ' - wait, is it 'दौ'? Let's look at the letter after 'दौ':

Wait, what if it's "एतत्सर्पिर्गिर स्कन्धया" or something?
Wait! Look at the font in Caland:
Caland uses:
त्
स
र्पि
गि
र
Wait, could that be त्सर्षिगिर? No, that's definitely र्पि.
Wait, could it be त्सपिरि?
Wait, look at the letter between र्पि and र:
It has a top bar, a vertical down, a curve: गि!
Wait, why would it be गि?
Could the word be सर्पिगिर?
Wait, what about सर्पिर्गिर? Look at the top of गि: is there a repha?
No, the repha is on र्पि.
Wait, is there an anusvara?
