The most straightforward explanation is that a single "original" mantra
underwent change over time.
praNAms Sri Ajit Krishna prabhuji
Hare Krishna
>From the above it seems that to the extent what we are reciting today as
vEda maNtra with swara might have undergone 'change' over a period of time
due to one or the other reason and to track back the 'original' maNtra
with svara-s 'as it was' in 'original' apaurusheya veda would be a tedious
task. I myself seen some Ritviks chanting some Rigveda maNtra-s with
yajurveda svara-s in yajurveda prayOga and vice versa. And unfortunately,
within the same shAkhA, within the same tradition there exists 'svara
bheda' (some svarita svara-s will be chanted in 'deergha-svarita form in
ritvedeeya saMhita maNtra-s ) in the name of pAtha bheda.
Hari Hari Hari Bol!!
bhaskar
PS:: BTW, you were planning to write a series on apasthambha agnimukha
prayOga in shrouta group, what happened to that prabhuji??
