[Footnote 10: This cleverly contrived or profound universality of Vishnuism is one of the greatest obstacles to missionary effort. The Vishnuite will accept Christ, but as a form of Vishnu, as here explained. Compare below: "Even they that sacrifice to other gods really sacrifice to Me.")
[Footnote 11: Prakriti (prak[r./t[=i), nature; the term belongs to the S[=a]nkhya philosophy, which recognizes nature as distinct from spirit, a duality, opposed to adv[=alita, the non-duality of the Ved[=a]nta system, where the S[=a]nkhya 'nature' is represented by m[=a]y[=a), 'illusion.' Otherwise the word Prakrit is the 'natural,' vulgar dialect, opposed to Sanskrit, the refined, 'put-together' language.]
[Footnote 12: Saints, literally 'the successful ones.']
[Footnote 13: Alluding to the later derivation of Yama from yam, control.]
[Footnote 14: "The letter A," as in the Upanishads (see above, p. 226).]
[Footnote 15: Compare a parallel list of diadochoi in xii. 349. 51.]
[Footnote 16: One of the Jaina traits of the epic, brahm[=a]di[s. Ju t[r.]u[=a]nte[s.Ju bh[=u]te[s.Ju parivartate, in distinction from the Buddhistic metempsychosis, which stops short of plants. But perhaps it is rather borrowed from the B[r]ahman by the Jain, for there is a formal acknowledgment that sth[=a]var[ra]s 'stationary things,' have part in metempsychosis, Manu, xii. 42, although in the distribution that follows this is almost ignored (vs. 58).]
[Footnote 17: It is rather difficult to compress the list into this number. Some of the names are perhaps later additions.]
