[Footnote 15: As, for example, in K[=u]rma Pur[ra]na, XVI. p. 186, where is found a common epic verse description of battle.]
[Footnote 16: A good instance of this is found in Brihan N[=a]rad[=i]ya Pur[ra]na, X., where the churik[=a] and drugha[n.Ja (24) appear in an imitative scene of this sort; one of these being later, the other earlier, than the epic vocabulary.]
[Footnote 17: Perhaps the most striking distinction between Vedic and Puranic, or one may say, Indic Aryan and Hindu religions, is the emphasis laid in the former upon Right; in the latter, upon idols. The Vedic religion insists upon the law of right (order), that is, the sacrifice; but it insists also upon right as rectitude, truth, holiness. Puranic Hinduism insists upon its idols; only incidentally does it recommend rectitude, truth, abstract holiness.]

[Footnote 19: K[=u]rma, xii. p. 102. Contrast ib. xxii. p. 245, caturvy[=uJhadhara Vishnur avy[=u]has procyate (elsewhere navavy[=u]ha). Philosophically, in the doctrine of the epic P[=alñcar[=a]tras (still held by some sectaries), Vishnu is to be revered as Krishna, Balar[=a]ma, Pradymana, Aniruddha (Krishna's brother, son, and grandson), representing, respectively, (=a]tm[=a), jl=ijva, supreme and individual spirit, perception, and consciousness. Compare Mbh[=a]. xii. 340. 8, 72.]
