[Footnote 1086: The liberal ideas as to caste held by some Vishnuites
are due to Ramanand (c. 1400) who was excommunicated by his
coreligionists. I find it hard to agree with Garbe that Ramanuja
admitted the theoretical equality of all castes. He says himself
(Sri-Bhashya, II. 3. 46, 47) that souls are of the same nature in so
far as they are all parts of Brahman (a proposition which follows from
his fundamental principles and is not at all due to Christian
influence), but that some men are entitled to read the Veda while
others are debarred from the privilege. All fire, he adds, is of the
same nature, but fire taken from the house of a Brahman is pure,
whereas fire taken from a cremation ground is impure. Even so the soul
is defiled by being associated with a low-caste body.]

[Footnote 1087: See Grieson and Garbe. But I have not found a
quotation from any original authority. Mohammed, however, had the same
notion of the Trinity.]

the Malabar coast about 900 A.D.]

[Footnote 1089: Similarly the neo-Confucianism of the Sung dynasty was
influenced by Mahayanist Buddhism. Chu-hsi and his disciples condemned
Buddhism, but the new problems and new solutions which they brought
forward would not have been heard of but for Buddhism.]

[Footnote 1090: The idea of the second birth is found in the Majjhima
Nikaya, where in Sutta 86 the converted brigand Angulimala speaks of
his regenerate life as _Yato aham ariyaya jatiya jato_, "Since I was
born by this noble (or holy) birth." Brahmanic parallels are numerous,
_e.g._ Manu, 2. 146.]

[Footnote 1091: It is said, however, that the celebration of the
Prasad by the Kabirpanthis bears an extraordinary resemblance to the
Holy Communion of Christians. This may be so, but, as already
mentioned, this late and admittedly composite sect is not typical of
Hinduism as a whole.]
