Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Nor one named after a constellation, a tree, or a river, nor one bearing the name of a low caste, or of a mountain, nor one named after a bird, a traceable.' It is, however, very probable that gotra has a double meaning, vaidika and laukika gotra, and that, in the case of Brahmaraas, intermarriages between families descended from the same Rfchi, and, in the case of other Aryans, between families bearing the same name or known to be connected, are forbidden.
