nābhyā ca vāruṇaṃ sthānaṃ stanābhyāṃ tu bhavo labhet | bāhubhyāṃ vāsavaṃ sthānaṃ śrotrābhyāmāpnuyāddiśaḥ | ādityaṃ cakṣuṣā sthānaṃ mūrdhnā brahmaṇa eva ca

Line 1 reads स्तनाभ्यां तु भवो लभेत् where the CE has stanābhyāṃ tu bhuvo labhet (@011_0202), 'the earth'; भव is a valid word (Shiva, or existence), so the base reading is kept.

Verse 19 (13.167.19)

अव्यक्तात्परमं शुद्धमप्रमेयमनामयम् । तमाहुः परमं नित्यं यद्यदाप्नोति बुद्धिमान् ॥

avyaktātparamaṃ śuddhamaprameyamanāmayam | tamāhuḥ paramaṃ nityaṃ yadyadāpnoti buddhimān
