[Footnote 25:  Sitz.  Berl.  Ak. 1858, 1859, and 1894, respectively.  The Wurfel-Orakel (and Schiefner) is published also in Ind.  Streifen, i. 274.  The essay on Omina and Portenta contains translations of parts of the Sha[d.]vi[.m]ca Br[=a]hma[n.]a, of the S[=a]ma Veda, and of the K[=a]ucika (AV.) S[=u]tra.]
[Footnote 26:  (Whitney) Burgess, S[=u]ryasiddh[=a]nta, JAOS. vi; JRAS. 1863, p. 345; Whitney, ib. i. 316; Lunar Zodiac, Or.  Ling.  St., ii. 341; Kern, translation of BS., JRAS. iv-vii; IS. x, xiv, xv; Weber, Ueber altir[=a]nische Sternnamen, Sitz.  Berl.  Ak., 1888; see also Whitney, JAOS. viii. 1, 382; Burgess, ib. 309; Weber, IS. ix. 424, x. 213; Whitney vs.  Ludwig, PAOS., 1885.  On the twelve intercalated days, ‘Twelfth Night,’ see Weber, IS. v. 437 (Cabal[=i]-homa), xvii. 224.]

     [Footnote 27:  The statement is here made that the Vedic
     religion knows nothing of idols; but see the other cited
     works which seem to disprove this.]

     [Footnote 28:  The ‘Fifteen Puzzle’ is Indic (IA. x. 89, xi.
     83).]

[Footnote 29:  Triton und Euphemos, oder Die Argonauten in Libyen, by Water, in 1849, treats of the holy seven in a ridiculous way.  Not less ridiculous is the author’s attempt to explain everything by the Moon-Cult, thus anticipating modern vagaries.]

     [Footnote 30:  A curious though useless classic is Anquetil
     du Perron’s Oupnekhat, 1801, the first European version of
     the Upanishads (through the Persian).]

     [Footnote 31:  Whitney, AJP. vii. 1, xi. 407; Jacob, IA. xv.
     279; Whitney Trans.  Phil.  Ass. xxi. 88; Boehtlingk, Bericht
     d. k.  Saechs.  Gesellschaft, 1890, and separately.]

     [Footnote 32:  Compare Windischmann, Sancara, 1833; Ecstein,
     IS. ii. 369; and Bruining-Bijdrage tot de Kennis van den
     Ved[=a]nta, 1871.]

[Footnote 33:  Compare two native expositions, JRAS. x. 33 (Vedantic conception of brahma), and WZKM. ii. 95 (Cankara’s advaita philosophy); also Mueller, Three Lectures.]
[Footnote 34:  Compare Ballantyne’s Hindu Philosophy, Williams’ Indian Wisdom, Brahmanism and Hinduism, Religious Thought and Life, and also the excellent chapters in Weber’s Lectures (above), and in Schroeder’s Literatur und Cultur.  Of Deussen’s Allgemeine Geschichte der Philosophie one half volume has appeared.]

     [Footnote 35:  Haug has an article on the M[=a]it.  Sa[.m]h.
     with the same title, Brahma und Die Brahmanen.]

[Footnote 36:  House-ritual:  [=A]cval[=a]yana, Gobhila, C[=a][.n]kh[=a]yana, P[=a]raskara, Kh[=a]dira, Hira[n.]yakecin, [=A]pastamba.  Law:  [=A]pastamba, G[=a]utama, Vasistha, B[=a]udh[=a]yana, Y[=a]jnavalkya, Vishnu, N[=a]rada, Brihaspati, Manu.  The last is also translated by Loiseleur, Jones, Burnell and Hopkins (besides Buehler, SBE., above).]
