FOOTNOTES

1 The MSS. vary very considerably in these stanzas of invocation: many
lines are generally prefixed in which not only the poet, but those
who play the chief parts in the poem are panegyrized. It is
self-apparent that they are not by the author of the Ramayan
himself.

2 "Valmiki was the son of Varuna, the regent of the waters, one of
whose names is Prachetas. According to the _Adhyatma Ramayana_, the
sage, although a Brahman by birth, associated with foresters and
robbers. Attacking on one occasion the seven Rishis, they
expostulated with him successfully, and taught him the _mantra_ of
Rama reve
