________________ [Footnote 4: Metaphor from earthly fire-making; cloud and cliff (Ludwig); or, perhaps, heaven and earth.] [Footnote 5: 'Made low and put in concealment' the D[=a]sa color, i.e. the black barbarians, the negroes. 'Color' might be translated 'race' (subsequently 'caste').] [Footnote 6: D[=ilce, vijas, literally "hoppers' (and so sometimes, interpreted as birds). The same figure occurs not infrequently. Compare AV. iv. 16. 5, ak[s.ll=a]n iva. 'Believe, çr[a]d-dhatta, i.e., cred-(d)(=i]te, literally 'put trust.'] [Footnote 7: Sometimes rendered, "a true (laudation) if any is true."] [Footnote 8: viii. 100. 3-4. The penultimate verse is literally the direction(s) of the order magnify me,' the order being that of the seasons and of seasonable rites.] [Footnote 9: Compare the 'devil-worship of Uçanas,' and the scoffs at P[=u]shan. The next step in infidelity is denial of a future life and of the worth of the Vedas.] [Footnote 10: In the Buddhistic writings Indra appears as the great popular god of the Brahmans (with Brahm[=a] as the philosophical god).] [Footnote 11: His body is mortal; his breaths immortal, Çat. Br. x. 1. 4. 1; xi. 1. 2. 12.) [Footnote 12: On these curious pocket-altars, double triangles representing the three gods and their wives, with Linga and Yon(=i], see JRAS. 1851, p. 71.]
