have highly spoken to me of this edition of Jyautishavedanga.
Hearing all this and having obtained all the numbers of the aforesaid journal containing the entire work through the good offices of Rai Bahadur M. N. Sivapuri, I perused with interest the entire explanation written with proofs and mathematical calculations.
Having met with numberless mistakes creeping therein and thinking it necessary to produce an accurate edition of the text, I have composed this commentary with demonstration.
The following are the errors in the corrected readings and explanations of Varhaspatya noted down for the perusal of the public: -
Sloka 1. पञ्चसंवत्सरमयं is here the adjective of प्रजापति
(Vide Hindustan Review, March, 1906, р. 245). It is unnecessary. See my explanation.
Sloka 2. Though nothing particular, however, see my explanation of the Slokas relating to both Yajur and Rig. Here Varhaspatya is also right, since it is similar to the explanation of Sankar Bálakríshņa Dikshit.
Slokas 3-4. Though nothing particular, however, see my explanation. V.'s explanation is also good. The reason of ये बृहस्पतिना भुक्ता being a क्षेपक may be seen in my commentary.
Sloka 5. Nothing particular.
Slokas 6-8. The reading अर्कस्तु is not correct. For this see my demonstrated explanation.
Sloka 9. द्विर्युग्माद्यं is not a correct reading. The explanation of the word ऋतु is curious and inadmissible.
(Vide H. R., May and June, p. 436). My explanation may be seen.
