KRSNAYAJURVEDASAMHITA. Substance, paper. Size, 12 x 8 1 inches Pages, 314 Lines, 20 on a page. Character, Telugu. Appearance, old. The MS. is a little torn and the paper is becoming sapless. Contains the 5 th, the 6 th and the 7 th Kandas ; complete. The word bandhuh is omitted after samudrah in the final passage quoted below. The omission is the outcome of a practice prevalent among teachers of the Veda (Adhyapakas) not to let the pupil have the last word (i.e., not formally to finish the teaching) until the teacher is duly rewarded.
