page 413 note 4 The evidence is, in itself, quite insufficient, consisting only of a few Brāhmaṇa phrases (Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā, i, 6. 3Google Scholar; Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, viii, 4. 2. 1Google Scholar), where metaphoric terms are used of Prajāpati's creative action.

page 416 note 2 It is normally assumed to have this sense, so by Eggeling, Macdonell (Vedic Mythology, p. 124Google Scholar), Geldner, etc.
page 417 note 1 Cf. Āyu's parallelism with Apāṃ Napāt, emphasized by Geldner, , Vedische Studien, i, 275Google Scholar. Compare also Agni's close relationship with Purūravas (Ṛgveda, i, 31. 4Google Scholar), and with Āyu (śaṃsam Āyoḥ, iv, 6. 11Google Scholar; cf. ii, 4. 2). Moreover, in Kāṭhaka, viii, 10Google Scholar, Āyu and the fire are closely connected (cf. Weber, , Indische Studien, iii, 463Google Scholar; Geldner, , op. cit. i, 248).Google Scholar
page 417 note 2 Geldner, (op. cit. i, 283)Google Scholar admits this, and neither Bloomfield (JAOS. xx, 183Google Scholar) nor Oldenburg (Ṛgveda-Noten, i, 338Google Scholar) solves the difficulty.

page 417 note 4 That the other Samhitās borrowed from the Śatapatha is most improbable; they would doubtless have taken the metaphor of daughter if they had. The Satapatha is no doubt the later text.
