mulated Karma inherited from previous births, which must bear fruit. By "making himself many" he can work it off in one lifetime.] [Footnote 675: _World as Will and Idea_, Book III. p. 254 (Haldane and Kemp's translation).] [Footnote 676: E.g. Dig. Nik. II. 95, etc.] [Footnote 677: St Theresa, St Catharine of Siena and Rudman Merawin. Cf. 1 John ii. 20, 27. "Ye know all things."] [Footnote 678: Chandog. Up. VIII. 15.] [Footnote 679: As also to the Samhitas of the Vaishnavas and the Agamic literature of the Saivas. The six cakras are: (1) Muladhara at the base of the spinal cord, (2) Svadhishthana below the navel, (3) Manipura near the navel, (4) Anahata in the heart, (5) Visuddha at the lower end of the throat, (6) Ajna between the eyebrows. See Avalon, _Tantric Texts_, II. Shatcakranirupana. Ib. _Tantra of Great Liberation_, pp. lvii ff., cxxxii ff. Ib. _Principles of Tantra_, pp. cvii ff. Gopinatha Ras, _Indian Iconography_, pp. 328 ff. See also "Manual of a Mystic" (_Pali Text Soc._) for something apparently similar, though not very intelligible, in Hinayanist Buddhism.] [Footnote 680: For the later Yoga see further Book V. I have recently received A. Avalon, _The Serpent Power_, from which it appears that the danger of the process lies in the fact that as Kundalini ascends, the lower parts of the body which she leaves become cold. The preliminary note on Yoga in Grieraon and Barnett's Lalla-Vakyani (_Asiat. Soc.'s Monographs_, vol. XVII. 1920) contains much valuable information, but both works arrived too late for me to make use of them.] [Footnote 681: Maj. Nik. 36 and 85, but not in 26.] [Footnote 682: Dig. Nik. 2. For the methods of Buddhist meditation, the reader may consult the "Manual of a Mystic," edited (1896) and translated (1916) by the _Pali Text Society_. But he will not find it easy reading.] [Footnote 683: See Ang. Nik. 1. 20 for a long list of the various kinds of meditation. A conspectus of the system of meditation is given in Seidenstuecker, _Pali-Buddhismus_, pp. 344-356.] [Footnote 684: Dig. Nik. XXII. _ad. in._] [Footnote 685: Dig. Nik. I. 21-26.] [Footnote 686: See, for instance, Dig. Nik. II. 75. Sometimes five Jhanas are enumerated. This means that reasoning and investigation are eliminated successively and not simultaneously, so that an additional stage is created.] [Footnote 687: See _Dhamma-Sangani_; Mrs Rhys Davids' translation, pp. 45-6 and notes.
