Page 327, third line from the top:  Read Buddhaghosha.  According to Chalmers, as quoted by T.W.  Rhys Davids in his recent lectures, traces of mysticism are found in some of the early texts (as yet unpublished).  The fact that the canonical P[=a]li books know nothing of the controversy (involving the modification of traditional rules) of the second council gives a terminus to the canon.  Senart, on the other hand, thinks that the vague language of the Acoka inscriptions precludes the fixing of the canon at so early a date.

Page 340, note 4:  The gods here are priests.  The real meaning seems to be that the Brahman priests, who were regarded as gods, have been put to naught in being reduced to their true estate.  Compare Senart, (revised) Inscriptions de Piyadasi, third chapter.  Acoka dismissed the Brahman priests that his father had maintained, and substituted Buddhist monks.

Page 436, note 2:  From B[=e]r[=u]n[=i] it would appear that the Gupta and Valabh[=i] eras were identical (319-20 A.D).  See Fleet, Indian Antiquary, xvii. 245.  Many scholars now assign Kum[=a]rila to the eighth century rather than to the end of the seventh.
