The Panch' clan were devotees " of the Sun and Fire cult associated with worship of'. the Father-god Indra," and "the Hitto-Phoenicians were special worshippers of the Father-god Bel, also called by them Indara, who was of the Sun-cult." Both Panch and Phoenician were foremost among sea-going peoples. They were "sometimes called Krivi in the Vedas, which word is admitted by Sanskritists to be a variant of Kuru, which, as we have seen, means * of Kur' or 'Syria.' The early Phoenician dynasties in Syrio-Phoenicia, or 'Land of the Amorites' of the Hebrews, called themselves Khatti and Barat in their own still extant monuments and documents, dated back to about B.o. 3000." For proof we must wait for Waddell's Aryan Origin of the Phoenicians.
These are the arguments leading to the identity of the Phænician Khatti Barats with Britons and Scots, and also with the Anglo-Saxons, "a later branchlet of the Phoenician the Britons." And lastly Waddell finds "the identity of the Aryans with the Khatti or Hittites confirmed by Winckler's discovery" in 1907, "at the old Hittite capital, Boghaz Koi in Cappadocia, of the original treaty of about B.c. 1400 between the Khatti or Hittites and their kinsmen neighbours in the East in ancient Persia, the Mita-ni," who he "found were the Medes, who were also famous Aryans and called themselves Arriya." Now" in this treaty they invoked the actual Aryan gods of the Vedas of the Indian branch of the Aryans and by their Vodic names." E.g., the Vedic Sun-god Mitra, the Mithra of the Greco-Romans : also In-da-ra, who is "the Solar Indra or Almighty." However, Waddell says that "neither the Assyriologists now the Vedic scholars could be induced to take this view."
Such is the outline of the scheme of this remarkable book, and thereafter Waddell sets to work on the Phoenician ancestry of the Britons and Scots.

Text. Indra jim Jrimbh Barawanal ambu par, Rawan sudambh par,
Raghu kul râj hai. Pawan bari båh par, Shambu Ratinah par, Jo Sahasrabahun par,
Ram dwijraj hai. Dåwå drum dand par, Chita mrig jhand par, (Bhusan) bitand par,
Jaise mrigraj hai. Têj tam ansh par, Kanch jimi Kans par, Taise ripu bansh par, Aj Prithraj hai.
