| Notes/Description | : | This is the second known MS. of the Atharva-veda Sanhita in the Paippalada recension, which was for the first time discovered by Dr. Roth in 1875 A. D. Our MS. is quite independent of Roth's MS. which is written on birch-bark and belonged to the library of the late Maharaja of Jammoo and Kas’mir, Ranavir Singh. It is incorrect in several places, but on the whole is certainly valuable for collation purposes. It almost inva-riably marks the Anuvakas and the hymns in each of these, though it rarely marks the number of verses in each hymn.For a description of this recension, cf. Roth,Die Atharvaveda in Kas'mir, 1876 and Bloom-field, the Atharvaveda, 1899, sections 11-14,esp. the last.An edition of this recension, by cromo-photo-graphy has been brought out by Bloomfield and R. Garbe in 1901 at Baltimore, from the birchbark MS. mentioned above.I give below the beginnings of the different Anuvakas of the several Kandas together with the number of hymns (enclosed within the bracket ), contained in each Anuvaka. An Anuvaka as usual, contains from 3 to 7 or even 10 hymns. |
