[Footnote 9: Compare
the ‘devil-worship of Ucanas,’ and the
scoffs at P[=u]shan.
The next step in infidelity is denial
of a future life and
of the worth of the Vedas.]
[Footnote 10: In
the Buddhistic writings Indra appears as
the great popular god
of the Brahmans (with Brahm[=a] as the
philosophical god).]

body is mortal; his breaths immortal, Cat.

[Footnote 12: On
these curious pocket-altars, double
triangles representing
the three gods and their wives, with
Linga and Yon[=i], see
JRAS. 1851, p. 71.]
[Footnote 13: In
the Tantras and late Pur[=a]nas. In the
earlier Pur[=a]nas there
is as yet no such formal cult.]
[Footnote 14: Embodied
in the tale of Agni’s advance, IS. i.
170.]
[Footnote 15: Cat Br. ix. 3.1. 18.]
[Footnote 16: On this quasi deity in modern belief compare IA. XVIII. 46. It has happened here that a fate Providence has become supreme. Thus, too, the Mogul Buddha is realty nothing more or less than Providence.]
[Footnote 17: 7. I. 2.]
[Footnote 18: In
RV. X. 90. 9, chandas, songs,
incantations, imply
a work of this nature.]
[Footnote 19: Unless
it be distinctly good magic the epic
heroes are ashamed to
use magical rites. They insist on the
intent being unimpeachable.]

[Footnote 22: Compare Weber’s account of the R[=a]jas[=u]ya, p. 98; and, apropos of the Dacapeya, ib. 78, note; where it is stated that soma-drinking for the warrior-caste is still reflected in this (originally independent) ceremony.]
[Footnote 23: The
list given above (p. 464) of the ’thrice
three names’ is
made eight by suppressing Kum[=a]ra, and the
‘eight names’
are to-day the usual number.]
[Footnote 24: C[=a]nkh. (K[=a]nsh.) Br. vi. 1.]
[Footnote 25: The Brahmanic multiple by preference is (three and) seven (7,21,28,35), that of the Buddhist, eight. Feer, JA., 1893, p. 113 ff., holds the Svargaparva of the epic to be Buddhistic on account of the hells. More probably it is a Civaite addition. The rule does not always hold good, for groups of seven and eight are sometimes Buddhistic and Brahmanic, respectively.]
