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.
