to perform miracles. VII. Since he fell at the feet of God, no one has appeared great in his eyes. Ram and Ruheem, the Poorans, and the Koran, have many votaries, but neither does he regard. Simruts, Shasters, and Veds, differ in many things; not one does he heed. O God! under Thy favour has all been done, nought is of myself. VIII. All say that there are four races, But all are of the seed of Bruhm. The world is but clay, And of similar clay many pots are made. Nanuk says man will be judged by his actions, And that without finding God there will be no salvation. The body of man is composed of five elements; Who can say that one is high and another low? IX. There are four races and four creeds in the world among Hindoos and Mahometans; Selfishness, jealousy, and pride drew all of them strongly; The Hindoos dwelt on Benares and the Ganges, the Mahometans on the Kaaba; The Mahometans held by circumcision, the Hindoos by strings and frontal marks.

Truth remained on one side, while Moollas and Brahmins disputed, And salvation was not attained. X. God heard the complaint (of virtue or truth), and Nanuk was sent into the world. He established the custom that the disciple should wash the feet of his Gooroo, and drink the water; Par Bruhm and Poorun Bruhm, in his Kulyoog, he showed were one. The four feet (of the animal sustaining the world) were made of faith; the four castes were made one; The high and the low became equal: the salutation of the feet (among disciples) he established in the world; Contrary to the nature of man, the feet were exalted above the head. In the Kulyoog he gave salvation; using the only true name, he taught men to worship the Lord. To give salvation in the Kulyoog, Gooroo Nanuk came. PARTS BEYOND THE INDUS. The Punjab is the most western locality of the Indian stock, whether we call the members of it Hindu or Tamulian. On crossing the Indus we reach a new ethnological area, only partially, and only
