And should, after that person has eaten, seize his right hand,\n2. 2 If he wishes that one of his companions, or a pupil, or a servant should faithfully remain with him and not go away, he should bathe in the morning, should put on clean garments, should show\npatience (with that servant, &c.) during the day, should speak (only) with Br\u00e2hmanas, and by night he should go to the dwelling-place of that person, should make water into a horn of a living animal, and should three times walk round his dwelling-place, sprinkling (his urine) round it, with (the Mantra), 'From the mountain (I sever?) thee, from thy brother, from thy sister, from all thy relations. parish\u00eedah kleshyati (i.e. kvaishyasi?) sasvat parikupilena samkr\u00e2men\u00e2vikkhid\u00e2, \u00fblena parim\u00eedho\u093dsi parim\u00eedho\u093dsy \u00fblena.'\n3. He puts down the horn of the living animal in a place which is generally accessible.\n4. 4 One whose companions, pupils, or servants use to run away, should rebuke them with (the Mantra), 'May he who calls hither (?), call you hither! He who brings back, has brought you back (?). May the rebuke of Indra always rebuke you. If you, who worship your own deceit, despise me (?), . . . . may Indra bind you with his bond, and may he drive you back again to me.'\n5. Then he enters his house, puts a piece of Sidhraka wood on (the fire), and sacrifices with the 'on-drawing verse,' 'Back-bringer, bring them back' (Taitt. Samh. III, 3, 10, 1).\n6. Now (we shall explain) how one should guard his wife.\n7. 7 One whose wife has a paramour, should grind big centipedes (?) to powder, and should insert (that powder), while his wife is sleeping, into her secret parts, with the Mantra, 'Indra. . . . from other men than me.'\n8. Now (follows the sacrifice for procuring) prosperity in trade.\n9. He cuts off (some portion) from (every) article of trade and sacrifices it\u2014\n175:2 14, 2. M\u00e2tridatta: 'The description of the Sam\u00e2vartana is finished. p. 176 Now some ceremonies connected with special wishes of the person who has performed the Sam\u00e2vartana and has settled in a house, will be described.' In my opinion, it would be more correct to consider S\u00fbtra 18 of the preceding section as the last of the aphorisms that regard the Sam\u00e2vartana, With S\u00fbtra 2 compare P\u00e2raskara III, 7; \u00c2pastamba VIII, 23, 6. It seems impossible to attempt to translate the hopelessly corrupt last lines of the Mantra.\n176:4 A part of this Mantra also is most corrupt. In the first line I propose to write, nivarto vo nyav\u00eevritat. With the last line comp. P\u00e2raskara III, 7, 3. I think that the text of P\u00e2raskara should be corrected in the following way: pari tv\u00e2 hvalano hvalan nivartas tv\u00e2 nyav\u00eevritat, indrah p\u00e2sena sitv\u00e2 tv\u00e2 mahyam . . . (three syllables) \u00e2nayet. The \u00c2pastamb\u00eeya Mantrap\u00e2tha, according to Dr. Winternitz's copy, gives the following text: anupohvad anuhvayo vivartto p. 177 vo nyav\u00eevridhat. aindrah parikroso to vah parikrosatu sarvatah. yadi m\u00e2m atimany\u00e2dv\u00e2 \u00e2 dev\u00e2 devavattara indrah p\u00e2sena sitkv\u00e2 vo mahyam id vasam \u00e2nay\u00e2t sv\u00e2h\u00e2. Comp. Prof. Pischel's remarks, Philologische Abhandlungen, Martin Hertz zum siebzigsten Geburtstage von ehemaligen Sch\u00fclern dargebracht (Berlin, 1888), p. 69 seq.\n177:7 On sth\u00fbr\u00e2 dridh\u00e2[h] M\u00e2tridatta says, sth\u00fbr\u00e2 dridh\u00e2h sth\u00fbr\u00e2h satapadyah. A part of the Mantra is untranslatable on account of the very corrupt condition of the text. The reading given by most of the MSS. is, Indr\u00e2ya y\u00e2sya sepham alikam anyebhyah purushebhyo\u093dnyatra mat. The \u00c2pastamb\u00eeya Mantrap\u00e2tha reads, indr\u00e2y\u00e2sya phaligam anyebhyah purushebhyonyatra mat. The meaning very probably is that Indra is invoked to keep away from the woman the sepha of all other men except her husband's.","title":"Grihya Sutras, Part 2 (SBE30): Grihya S\u00fbtra of Hiranyakesin: I, 4, 14","type":"page"}
