Footnotes
22:1 The syllables here mentioned are the so-called stobhksharas, sounds used in the musical recitation of the Sman hymns, probably to fill out the intervals in the music for which there were no words in the hymns. These syllables are marked in the MSS. of the Sma-veda, but their exact character and purpose are not quite clear.
22:2 A stobha syllable used in the Rathantara Sman.
22:3 Used in the Vmadevya Sman.
22:4 The Sman addressed to Agni takes the syllable as nidhana.
22:5 The stobha syllables used in the Sman addressed to the Vi"s"ve Devas.
22:6 See "Kh". Up. I, 4, 4.
22:7 The commentator takes vg as a stobha, as a syllable occurring in hymns addressed to Vir"g", and as implying either the deity Vir"g" or food.
22:8 wealthy and healthy.
