________________ XXV Indian savants of old चरक, धन्वन्तरि and आत्रेय have accepted the बीनतर theory and further they have accepted the force of environment in shaping the characteristics to an equal degree. The able and critical brochure of Manshanker Pitamberdas Mehta styled ".1727 FT" has discussed this question at great length and shown convincingly and conclusively that refac classification of an as shown by Sir H. Risley is utterly untenable. Nagendra Nath Vasu in his बंगेर जातीय इतिहास (ब्राह्मण कोड ) has shown the boundary of say to extend from Tartar, Pamir, Siberia, Crimea, Poland, Hungary, Lithunia, the northern Germany, Sweden, Norway etc. The people of this were known as 17. The Braimanas among these were called Fauns, who were worshippers of the Sun. It may be noted here that some scholars place 19 in another part of the world. Greek historians Diodorus and Strabo have described the 11t as shown by Nagendra Nath Vasu. These galaus, first settled in eage ( Multan ) on the bank of the achtal whence they scattered gradually on the North to the Himalayas, on the South to the Nizam's territory, on the West to the Punjab and on the East to Bengal and 3758. When the नागरs left पांचाल and came to settle in बड़नगर, these मगब्राह्मण had already settled down in various parts of Gujarat and Kathiawad (long before the foundation of the art kingdom). The arts were the worshippers of Siya and 1298 was their tutelary deity, and were pure Aryans. A misunderstanding scems to have arisen in this connection from the division of Brahmanas into ýants and jazifas, Like " Āryan", “Dravidian" originally a purely philological term is wanting in precision when used in an ethnological sense (Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics Vol. V part 1). The distinction of Brāhmanas into it and allas does not convey a जातिभेद but is only a स्थलभद, नारs on their settlement in wat and the surrounding parts naturally came to be included in a portion of counfry known as gas as they had settled in a country south of the Vindhya. In this connection staarafa (faqatfafaqafegiena, 815--1914 Series, page 45) makes it quite clear that sheets, #17430715, 17's, fangsmas, residing on the bank of That were Aryās (9G71CTS). pts as, द्राविडs, दक्षिणs and those residing on the outskirts of अवन्ती were the HET41 n, while #raits, $tas, ergs, Aadicalearfua: and playas were a1as-the lowest of the Brahmanas. It will be apparent that the Rizs are as foreign to India as the fas. augalams here evidently refer to AELETS who were foreigners. Devadatta Bhandarkar in his “ Foreign Elements in the Hindu lation" is also not correct in his conclusions. 39. iv
