WERBA Band XLVI 2002 DER OSTERREICHISCHENArlo Griffiths The Textual Divisions of the Paippalida Samhita* Iyrropuctiox ‘There are two reasons why Vedie scholars ~ especially those who are engaged in preparing editions of texts (whether they style their work tical” or not) ~ ought to pay close attei isions of the text they offer to the public.' In the first place: Vedic texts have a his- tory of transmission and belong to various schools of tradition. The textual divisions — the places where they are made, the names they are given — are an integral part of the tradition, being among those marks that distinguish individual schools from each other, and as such are in themselves object of indological enquiry:* In the second place: given the way Vedic ritual manuals refer to mantras to be recited during the ritu- als, and given the importance of an understanding of the procedure of the ritual in question to the exegesis of the mantras being used, precise knowledge of a mantra-text's divisions is a sine qua non for the inter pretation of those manuals and rituals, and the mantra-text itself, In the case of the Atharvavedic Saunaka Sakha, the Kausikasftra, e.g. presupposes knowledge of parydyas, anuodkas, sitkias, stanzas and he- mistiches;* the Atharvavedaparigistas presuppose the same knowledge * Abhijit Ghosh, Jan Houben, Werner s of this paper, and made guest liged to Chlodwig H.

Information gathered during, to date, three years of work using these mss. is confronted in the final art of this paper with the important information available in an an lary text of the Paippalada Sakha used by AV brahmins in Orissa.
