ádha tyáṃ drapsáṃ vibhvàṃ vicakṣanáṃ vír ā́bharad iṣiráḥ śyenó adhvaré | yádī víśo vr̥ṇáte dasmám ā́ryā agníṃ hótāram ádha dhī́r ajāyata ||21||

Then that mighty (''vibhū́'') conspicuous drop did the bird, the lively falcon, bring at the sacrifice; if the Aryan tribes (''víç'') choose the wondrous one, Agni, [as] ''hótṛ'', then prayer (''dhī́'') was born.

And the fleet Falcon brought for sacrifice from afar this flowing Drop most excellent and keen of sight, Then when the Aryan tribes chose as Invoking Priest Agni the Wonder-Worker, and the hymn rose up.

What a match here does and does not show

These links are derived by comparing normalised Sanskrit surfaces. They show that two collections carry the same wording. They are not, by themselves, a demonstrated line of transmission between them, and the direction stored on an edge is a property of how it was built.

Atharvaveda is one of four collections held here. Cross-corpus comparison bottoms out at the weakest shared surface, because a Devanagari text and a romanised text share no code points.

How these were derived2

  • Parallelism is symmetric and this graph stores it as a directed edge, so these relations are traversed in both directions and each row states which way the stored edge ran. All 1,684 REUSES_TEXT_FROM edges point Samaveda-to-Rigveda, and 1,421 Rigvedic passages have reuse edges only inbound; following the arrow would show those 1,421 verses no reuse at all.

    measured

  • SHARES_ENTITY_VOCABULARY_WITH is not textual parallelism. It means two passages name some of the same registry concepts and says nothing about shared wording, so it is reported with relation_kind=ENTITY_VOCABULARY_OVERLAP and is excluded from textual_total.
