Bhāṣya on the Mantraparvan of the Sāma-Brāhmaṇa

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Author: Sāyaṇa
Title: Bhāṣya on the Mantraparvan of the Sāma-Brāhmaṇa

The incipit is as in Madras Catal., i. 133. In the fourth line the reference is to Guṇaviṣṇu, not guṇaṃ viṣṇorvidhāsyate. This shows clearly that the work is an explanation of the Mantra used in the Khādira Gṛhya Sūtra, and is connected with the Chāndogya-Brāhmaṇa, I and II of which contain the Mantras. The work is divided into two Adhyāyas, each with 7 Khaṇḍas.

Adhyāya I ends fol. 24, Adhyāya II ends fol. 45v.

It is dated fol. 45v.

The scribe was Veṅkaṭarāghava of Lakṣmīnārāyaṇa town, who describes his work at inordinate length. The boards of the Ms. are elaborately ornamented with a flower design. It is clear from the Madras Catal., i. 129 sq., that there are two somewhat variant recensions of this text; cf. Konow, Sāmavidhāna-Brāhmaṇa, pp. 80-82, and Stonner's edition of Prapāṭhaka I of the Mantra-Brāhmaṇa; R.A.S. Catal., pp. 116-117.

Incipit: yasya vakṣasthale lakṣmīrvvistāre vasati priye | sarvvakāraṇabhūtāya tasmai te viṣṇave namaḥ || yasya pādapraṇāmena sarvvābhīṣṭamupāśnute | sarvvavighnacchite tasmai śrīsenādhipataye namaḥ || f. 44r
Colophon: siddhārtthisañjñapragate vature dakṣiṇāyane | kalāmāse kṛṣṇapakṣe caturtthatithisaṃyute || f. 88v
