all as the attitude of the Vishnuite:  “Glory to V[=a]sudeva, him of perfected wisdom, whose unrevealed form is (known as) Brahm[=a], Vishnu, and Civa” (Hira[n.]yagarbha, Purusha, Pradh[=a]na).]

[Footnote 40:  Weber shows for instance, loc. cit., that Indra takes the place of older Varuna; that the house-priest yields to the Brahm[=a]; that in this feast in honor of the king he]

[Footnote 42:  In Hinduism itself there is a striking example of this.  The Jagann[=a]th (’Juggernaut’) temple was once dedicated to Buddha as loka-n[=a]th or jagan-n[=a]th, ‘saviour of the world’ Name, temple, and idol-car are now all Vishnu’s!]

[Footnote 43:  That is, Rain and Sun, for all Indra’s warlike qualities are forgotten, absorbed into those of Civa and his son, the battle-god.  The sun crosses the equator at noon of the second day, the ‘Mah[=a] Pongol.’]

[Footnote 44:  “Now every neck is bent, for the surface of the waters disturbed.  Then with a heave, a hiss, and a surge of bubbles, the seething milk mounts to the top of the vessel.  Before it has had time to run down the blackened sides, the air resounds with the sudden joyous cry of ‘Pongol, oh Pongol, S[=u]rya, S[=u]rya, oh Pongol,’ The word Pongol means “boiling,” from the Tamil word pongu, to boil; so that the joyous shout is, ’It boils, oh S[=u]rya, it boils.’  In a moment a convulsion of greetings animates the assembly.  Every one seizes his neighbor and asks, ’Has it boiled?’ Both faces gleam with delight as the answer comes—­’It has boiled.’  Then both shout at the top of their voices—­’Oh Pongol, Pongol, oh S[=u]rya, oh Indra, Pongol, Pongol.’” Gorer, loc. cit.]

[Footnote 45:  The Crocodile, makara, like the parrot, is sacred to K[=a]madeva, Love.  But as Ganges also is holy it is difficult to say for which divinity the offering was intended.  Some, indeed, interpret makara as dolphin.]

[Footnote 46:  A feast now neglected, though kept up by strict Brahmans, occurs on or about the 20th January.  The orthodox adherents of the Civaite sects and C[=a]ktas also observe it.  It is a Cr[=a]ddha, or funeral feast to the Manes.  Also on the 26th and 30th January there are rites nearly obsolete, the first being signalized by offerings to Yama; the second, a Civaite feast (to his spouse, as ’giver of bridegrooms’).  The list is more celebrated in the South than in the North.  It is interesting chiefly as a parallel to St. Valentine’s day, or, as Wilson says, the nearer feast of St. Agnes (21st January) on the eve of which divination is practiced to discover future husbands.  It is this time also that the Greeks call ‘marriage-month’ (Gamelion); and the fourth day from the new moon (which gives the name to this Hindu festival, caturth[=i],
