Comp. Śāṅkhāyana-Gṛhya III, 3, 7 seq.; chap. 4, 10. The comparison of Sāṅkhāyana shows that we have to divide saha prajayā paśubhiḥ, saha yan me kiñcid asty, upahūtaḥ, &c. Sādhusaṃvṛtaḥ (if the reading is correct) seems to me to be the nom. plur. of sādhusaṃvṛt. I understand this to be a Bahuvrīhi compound, in which saṃvṛt means ’the approaching.’ In Atharva-veda VII, 60, 4 we have sakhāyaḥ svādusaṃmudaḥ. After śāle a verb meaning ‘I enter,’ or something like that, has been lost. ↩︎
