THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
Notes.
It is interesting to note that in v. 13 the uncle of the past,' the mummo, is honoured with the same greeting as were the gods in the previous songs. Compare No. I., 29; No. III., 28; No. IX., 16. Apparently he has risen to the rank of a god.
No. XII. The Blessed Shepherd.
