RV 7.59.12 त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धि पुष्टिवर्धनम्। उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्। does not have a Padapāṭha. This is not a repeated mantra in the RV Saṃhitā. What might be the reason why this mantra does not have a Padapāṭha? Is it likely that there were a few post-Padapāṭha additions to the RV Saṃhitā? Someone asked this question on another discussion group.
