148 According to Renou, Monogr. Skts. II, p.37 §37;
In ŚS there are apparently only two cases, janitoḥ 19.56.2, and aitoḥ 12.3.55-60;see Renou,
Mon.Skt. II §28; the number of occurrences in PS will probably increase, as the Sandhi is
not always separated in my provisonal, computer-based dict. ab ultimo. For these
infinitives, see esp.: Minard, Enigmes II, § 727b, acc. to Renou, Monogr. Skts. II (1937),
§39: -tos becomes less frequent in this order: MS--> KS (KpS) TS TB AB JB ŚB PB
KB GB; -tavai: less ŚB --> PB; -tum increases from: MS---> TS TB KS JB AB KB PB
...(big interval)... ŚB; cf. Wack.2.2 § 470 sqq: -toḥ: Br.Ār, but rare in Sūtras, -tave: rare in
Br., tavai < tave vai?, -tum is classical (partly -tavai: MIA); McDonell, Gramm. §582, in
RV -tave: 30x, -tavai 12, -tum 5, -tos 6+3; but acc. to Avery, Verb forms, RV 12x; -- for the
Mantra language, see McDonell, §585.4: -tave RV, AV, TS, VS, -tavai RV, AV; Delbr.,
Syntax, p.427: -tavai MS, TS, AB, ŚB, -tave ŚB 2x; -tum MS, TS, AB, ŚB, PB, -am MS, TS,
AB, ŚB, PB; -tos MS, TS, AB, ŚB, PB; - Aufrecht, AB p.430: -tos 15x, -tavai 2; but acc.to
Avery: AB 0.
149 Brunnhofer, Ueber das gegenseitige Verhältnis der beiden kâṇḍagruppen des
Çatapatha-brâhmaṇa nach massgabe der in ihnen verwendeten infinitivformen,
Beitr.z.Kd.d.idg.Sprachen X, p. 252, counts 10 cases for ŚBM 1-5. His conclusion on the
divison of the text is correct; he wants to join ŚBM 1-5 + 11-13, as opposed to the Śānḍilya
part 6-10. Cf. Weber, Ind. Stud. XIII, 266-268, Vorles. über ind.lit., 2nd ed., p. 146 sq.;
Caland, introd. ŚBK, thinks that ŚBM 11-13 is a separate work, originally stemming from
the Kāṇvas.
