________________ FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 1: viii. 38. 4; i. 108. 3; Bergaigne, ii. 293.] [Footnote 2: On this point Bergaigne deprecates the application of the ritualistic method, and says in words that cannot be too emphasized: "Mais qui ne voit que de telles exptications n'expliquent rien, ou plutôt que le détail du rituel ne peut trouver son explication que dans le mythe, bien loin de pouvoir servir lui-mêmes à expliquer le mythe?... Ni le ciel seul ni la terre seule, mais la terre et le ciel étroitement unis et presque confondus, voilà le vrai domaine de la mythologie védique, mythologie dont le rituel n'est que la reproduction" (i. p. 24).] [Footnote 3: i. 58. 4; v. 7. 7; vi. 3. 4.] [Footnote 4: iii. 14. 4; i. 71. 9; vi. 3. 7; 6. 2; iv. 1. 9.] [Footnote 5: Or of time or order.] [Footnote 6: Or 'Finder-of-beings.') [Footnote 7: Herabkunft des Feuers und des Göttertrankes.] [Footnote 8: RV. vi. 16. 13: "Thee, Agni, from out the sky Atharvan twirled," nir amanthata (cf. Promantheus). In x. 462 the Bhrigus, [Greek: phleghyai), discover fire.] [Footnote 9: Compare v. 2. 1. Sometimes Agni is "born with the fingers," which twirl the sticks (iii. 26. 3; iv. 6. 8).] [Footnote 10: Compare ii. 1: "born in flame from water, cloud, and plants ... thou art the creator."]
