Prapāṭhaka III, Kāṇḍikā 4

82:1 4, 1 seq. The description given in this chapter of the Samāvartana, or of the ceremony performed at the end of studentship, is opened with a few sentences referring to another section of the Gṛhya ritual, namely, to marriage. It seems to me that these first Sūtras of this chapter once formed, in a text from which Gobhila has taken them, the introduction to an exposition of the wedding ceremonies, and that Gobhila was induced to transfer them to the description of the Samāvartana, by their opening words, 'A student, after he has studied the Veda, &c.' With Sūtras 1-3, comp. Khādira-Gṛhya I, 3, 1.

82:3 I prefer to supply, (with the permission) of his parents, and not, of his teacher. Hiraṇyakeśin says, samāvṛtta ācāryakulāt mātāpitarau bibhṛyāt, tābhyām anujñāto bhāryām upayacchet.

82:5 Regarding the term Sapiṇḍa, see, for instance, Gautama XIV, 13 (S.B.E. II, 247): 'Sapiṇḍa-relationship ceases with the fifth or the seventh (ancestor).' Comp. Manu V, 60.

82:6 According to the Gṛhya-saṃgraha (II, 1 7. 18), a 'naked' girl is one who has not yet the monthly period, or whose breast is not yet developed. Comp. Vasiṣṭha XVII, 70; Gautama XVIII, 23.

82:7 7 seqq. Comp. Khādira-Gṛhya III, 1, 1 seqq.

83:13 In the Mantras prescribed for the besprinkling of the student (Mantra-Brāhmaṇa I, 7, 1 seq.) there occur passages such as, for instance, 'Therewith I, N.N., besprinkle myself.'

83:21 He may use the first section of the Mantra, which contains the word prātar, in the morning, &c.

85:34 Instead of its being performed at the time stated in Sūtra 30.
