[Footnote 78: The ordinary rule is that "no sin is greater than untruth," xii. 162. 24, modified by "save in love and danger of life" (Laws, passim).]
[Footnote 79: The same scenes occur in Buddhistic writings, where Yakkhas ask conundrums. For example, in the Hemavatasutta and (=Astavakasutta the Yakkha asks what is the best possession, what brings bliss, and what is swettest, to which the answer is: faith, law, and truth, respectively.]
[Footnote 80: Karm(=a]ntaram up[ra]santas, i.e., vir[=a]mak[=allam upagacchantas.]
[Footnote 81: II. 36. 3 ff. The phraseology of vs. 5 is exactly that of [Greek: ton êtto ldgon kreitto poithns], but the Pundit's arguments are based on the law.']
[Footnote 82: See above. In a later period (see below) the question arises in regard to the part played by Creator and individual in the workings of grace, some claiming that man was passive; some, that he had to strive for grace.]
[Footnote 83: Perhaps ironical. In V. 175. 32, a woman cries out: "Fie on the Creator for this bad luck," conservative in belief, and outspoken in word.]
[Footnote 84: III. 30. 17. The gosava is a 'cow-sacrifice.' The pu[n.][d.Jar[=ijka is not explained (perhaps 'elephant-sacrifice').]
