Prastāva-Sūtra of the Sāma Veda

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Author:
Title: Prastāva-Sūtra of the Sāma-Veda

It corresponds to Puṣpa-Sūtra, x.93-129 in R. Simon's edition; here, a separate work, it follows the sūtra.

R. Simon (p.498) suggests the ascription of the work to Kātyāyana, but there is no very conclusive ground for this suggestion beyond the fact that it is akin to the Pratihāra-Sūtra, and that in its turn is attributed to Kātyāna by the commentator Varadarāja (Burnell, Ārṣeya-Brāhmaṇa, p.xxvi; Bodleian Catal., ii.85)

Incipit: athohagītīnāṃ prastāvoddeśastobhaḥ purastādantarvvā prastoturante cābhidhādyaḥ | f. 32r
Explicit: prastāvye vā santatinaḥ ||2|| hariḥ oṃ | prastāvasūtraṃ samāptaṃ | f. 32v
