[Footnote 790:  See Rhys Davids’ note in his Dialogues of the Buddha on Digha Nikaya, Sutta V. pp. 166 ff.  He seems to show that Lokayata meant originally natural philosophy as a part of a Brahman’s education and only gradually acquired a bad meaning.  The Arthasastra also recommends the Sankhya, Yoga and Lokayata systems.]

[Footnote 791:  Maitr.  Up.  VII. 8.]

[Footnote 792:  See also Suali in Museon, 1908, pp. 277 ff. and the article Materialism (Indian) in E.R.E. For another instance of ancient materialism see the views of Payasi set forth in Dig.  Nik.  XXIII.  The Brihad Ar.  Up.  III. 2. 13 implies that the idea of body and spirit being disintegrated at death was known though perhaps not relished.]

[Footnote 793:  Translation by Shea and Troyer, vol.  II. pp. 201-2.]

[Footnote 794:  Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Adyar Library, 1908, pp. 300-1.]
