Anvā-khyāna. — From the literal translation (‘after-story’) the

meaning of ‘supplementary narrative’ seems to follow. In two¹

of its three occurrences in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa this sense

is hardly felt, the expression being used to indicate a subse-

quent portion of the book itself. But in the third² passage it

is distinguished from the Itihāsa (‘story’) proper, and there

must mean ‘supplementary narrative.’ Cf. Anuvyākhyāna. [Footnote] 1) vi. 5, 2, 22; 6, 4, 7 (the reference

is to vi. 6, 4, 8). [Footnote] 2) xi. 1, 6, 9.
