Durgacarya on N 3.4 citation

Dear Colleagues,

Could someone kindly inform me of the exact words used by Durgācārya on the following Nirukta citation?

Nirukta 3.4

अ॒मूर्या यन्ति॑ जा॒मयः॒ सर्वा॒ लोहि॑तवाससः। अ॒भ्रा॒तर॑ इव॒ योषा॒स्तिष्ठ॑न्ति ह॒तव॑र्त्मनः।।  अभ्रातृका इव योषास्तिष्ठन्ति etc.

Unfortunately Durgacārya’s commentary on the third chapter is missing from my collection. Hence this request for help. Durgācārya must have said something on the source of Yāska’s citation. That is my main query.

With thanks in advance

Best wishes for all

DBhattacharya

Dear Dr. Bhattacharya, Yask cites only the अ॒भ्रा॒तर॑ इव॒ योषा॒स्तिष्ठ॑न्ति ह॒तव॑र्त्मनः।।  .and Durgacharya in his commentary cites the entire r.k. iti asya. अ॒मूर्या यन्ति॑ जा॒मयः॒ सर्वा॒ लोहि॑तवाससः। अ॒भ्रा॒तर॑ इव॒ योषा॒स्तिष्ठ॑न्ति ह॒तव॑र्त्मनः।।  ityadi. iyamatharvaNAm prasavamArgavahan - (pradara) -rogiNyastatpratiikArkarmaNi viniyujyate.  yA amU.h naDya.h raktamaviratam yanti sravanti lohitavAsasa.h ati lohitavastrA jamaya.h kulastriya iva. sarvA.h etA hatavartmana.h hatavartmAno ArSa.h. hatalohitavahanamArgA.h satyastiSThanti tiSThantu uparamantu pravahNAdasya mantrasya viiryeNa. loDarthe/tra lat. atra d.rSTanta.h abhrAtaro yoSAiveti. yatha kAs'chdabhrat.rkA yoSA hatabhart.rva.ms'amArgAh santAnkarmaNe piNDadAnAya ch tiSThati.

[T.S. Rukmani]

Das Gupta in his Yoga Philosophy questions why commentators of the grammatical school like Bhartrhari and others did not mention or refer to the identity of the two Patanjalis. Can any ‘vyaakarana’ please enlighten me on this. Is it true. If my memory serves me right  isn’t there some reference to the YS in Nagojibhatta’s  commentary as well as in the Vakyapadiya first chapter vrtti.  It can bear on the date of the YS Patanjali

Dear Dr. Singh,

My sincere thanks for the quotation. I tried to transliterate into Devnagari with partial success. Kindly oblige by taking the trouble of  verifying the transliteration given below

इत्यादि. इयमथर्वणाम् प्रसवमार्गवहन् - (प्रदर) -रोगिण्यस्तत्प्रतीकारकर्मणि विनियुज्यते.  या अमूः नाड्यः रक्तमविरतम् यन्ति स्रवन्ति लोहितवाससः अतिलोहितवस्त्रा जामयः कुलस्त्रिय इव. सर्वाः एता हतवर्त्मनः हतवर्त्मानो आर्शः. हतलोहितवहनमार्गाः सत्यस्तिष्ठन्ति तिष्ठन्तु उपरमन्तु प्रवह्णादस्य मन्त्रस्य वीर्येण. लोडर्थेऽत्र लट् अत्र दृष्टान्तः अभ्रातरो योषाइवेति. यथा काश्चिदभ्रातृका योषा हतभर्तृवंशमार्गाः सन्तानकर्मणे पिण्डदानाय च तिष्ठति. एवमस्याम् ऋचि अभ्रातृकाया उपनयनमनिषेध उपमया लिंगतो दर्शितः

I underlined the places which seemed doubtful to me.

My query was about whether Durgaacaarya mentioned the Saakhaa of the Veda or not. In any case it is certain that he understood it as an aatharvana verse. The verse occurs in this form in the Paippalaada-Samhitaa but not in the Vulgate that is the Saunakiiya-Samhitaa currently known by the name of 'Atharvaveda'

I shall remain grateful if a scanned image of the page could be made available.

I thank you again

Best wishes and regards

Sincerely

Dipak Bhattacharya

Dear Dr. Bhattacharya, You have very correctly transliterted the text, barring a few errors, may be on my part. I therefor represent your Nagari version with correction with Roman rendering of Bold words   rogiNyA,   'diirghAbhAva ArSa.h':  'tiSThanti',   'upayamananiSedha'. I checked erreta to see if it is upanayana but there is no reference of the page. इत्यादि. इयमथर्वणाम् प्रसवमार्गवहन् - (प्रदर) -रोगिण्यस्तत्प्रतीकारकर्मणि विनियुज्यते.  या अमूः नाड्यः रक्तमविरतम् यन्ति स्रवन्ति लोहितवाससः अतिलोहितवस्त्रा जामयः कुलस्त्रिय इव. सर्वाः एता हतवर्त्मनः हतवर्त्मानो ...आष. हतलोहितवहनमार्गाः सत्यस्तिष्ठन्ति तिष्ठन्तु उपरमन्तु प्रवह्णादस्य मन्त्रस्य वीर्येण. लोडर्थेऽत्र लट् अत्र दृष्टान्तः अभ्रातरो योषाइवेति. यथा काश्चिदभ्रातृका योषा हतभर्तृवंशमार्गाः सन्तानकर्मणे पिण्डदानाय च तिष्ठति. एवमस्याम् ऋचि अभ्रातृकाया उपनयनमनिषेध उपमया लिंगतो दर्शितः   I think the next is authentic now.

Dear Prof. Bhattacharya,

The  relevant extract of Durga's comm., ed. H.M. Bhadkamkar (Poona: BORI, 1985) is thus with some variants: 

इयमथर्वणां प्रसवमार्गवहनरोगिणी या स्त्री भवति तस्यास्तत्प्रतिकारकर्मणि विनियुज्यते॥  अमूर्या यन्ति  स्रवन्ति नाड्यो रक्तमजस्रमविरताः स्त्रिय इवातिलोहितवस्त्राः  सर्वाः एतास्तिष्ठन्तु   उपरमन्तु हतलोहितवहनमार्गा अस्य मन्त्रस्य वीर्येण॥ कथं पुनस्तिष्ठन्तु॥  अभ्रातर इव योषाः यथा काश्चिदभ्रातृका योषा हतभर्तृवंशमार्गास्तिष्ठन्ति सन्तानकर्मणे पिण्डदानाय एवम् एता नाड्यस्तिष्ठन्त्विति॥ एवमस्याम् ऋचि अभ्रातृकाया अनिर्वाह उपमया लिंगतो दर्शितः॥

Best regards,
