240:8 On the Prâsitra and the Prâsitraharanas, comp. Hillebrandt, Neu- and Vollmondsopfer, pp. 119 (with note 6), 120, 131.
241:17 Nârâyana explains âsekanavanti by bilavanti. On prishadâgya ('sprinkled butter') comp. the two last Sûtras of the first chapter.
241:19 The statement in Satapatha Brâhmana XII, 5, 2, 14 is somewhat different.
241:20 Anustaranyâ vapâm. See chap. 2, 4.
241:23 Nârâyana states that these lumps are not put, as one would be inclined to believe, on the heart, but into the hands of the deceased. Sûtra 24 shows that this interpretation is correct.
242:24 I.e. if there is no Anustaranî animal, which is considered as optional (see chap. 2, 4).
242:25 Comp. Kâtyâyana XXV, 7, 35.
