Abstract
The 3s middle subjunctive verb form práti … mucāte (RV 10,27,11c) has generally been interpreted as having an agentive-attingent and irreflexive meaning. Taking into account the usage of the active and the middle forms of práti moc- in the R̥gveda and other Vedic texts, the present article argues that this interpretation is incorrect and that the middle form in question has to be taken as having its usual indirect reflexive meaning (‘to assume, to take on’). This grammatical analysis calls for a little modification of Jamison’s (1996) interpretation of RV 10,27,11.
