[Advaita-l] brahma yajnam - Tamil

[Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan]

The missing portions shown below are not chanted in the Tamil apastambiya
tradition. It may be part of the bodhAyanam or aashvalaayanam. I have seen
that Apastambiiyas in some parts of South India are very much influenced by
Bodhayanam and aashvalaayanam.

The svaram on vidyudasi and vr.s.tirasi is wrong. It should be (in Wikners
notation)

vidyu!dasi_ vidya!mepaa_pmaana!m.ru_taathsa_tyamupai!mi |  and

v.r.s.ti!rasi_ v.r.s.ta!mepaa_pmaana!m.ru_taathsa_tyamupaa!gaam.
