^{page 798 note 4} Raraṃta, as on p. 518, seems to be a misprint. The rendering “gave” is hardly strictly correct; the form must be a perf. imper. from ran, not randhor rā; see Oldenberg, , Rgveda-Noten, i, 351Google Scholar, and cf. Macdonell, , Vedic Grammar, p. 362Google Scholar, Whitney, Sanskrit Grammar, § 813; rārandhí in RV. x, 59, 6; the sense is “make wealth enjoy itself with us”.

^{page 798 note 5} Yuchāti is not desirable (cf. Oldenberg, loc. cit.), for the present gives a perfectly good sense, describing the kind of wealth, and accords best with the sentence, making the construction of the comparison simple and easy.
