for some conjectures. Kulika is translated into Tibetan as Rigs-Ldan. Tibetan texts speak of books coming from Sambhala, see Laufer in _T'oung Pao_, 1913, p. 596.] [Footnote 1023: See Laufer in _T'oung Pao_, 1907, p. 402. In Sumpa's chronology, _J.A.S. Beng._ p. 46, the reign of a Kulika Emperor seems to be simply a designation for a century.] [Footnote 1024: See _J.A.S.B._ 82, p. 225. The king is also (but apparently incorrectly) called Candra-Bhadra.] [Footnote 1025: See Grunwedel, _Mythologie_, p. 41. Sarat Chandra Das in _J.A.S. Beng_. 1882, p. 15, and _J.A.S. Beng_. 1912, p. 21, being reprints of earlier articles by Csoma de Koros.] [Footnote 1026: See Kalki Purana. Vishnu Purana, IV. XXIV, Bhag. Pur. XII. ii. 18, and Norman in _Trans. III, Int. Congress Religions_, vol. II. p. 85. Also Aufrecht, _Cat. Cod. Sansk._ 73A, 84B.] [Footnote 1027: See Schrader, _Introd. to the Pancaratra_, pp. 100-106 and 96.] [Footnote 1028: See the article "Adi Buddha" by De la Vallee Poussin in Hastings' _Encyc. of Religion and Ethics_.] [Footnote 1029: See, for a modern example of this, the Ganesatharvasirshopanishad (Ananda srama edition, pp. 11 and 16) Tvam eva sarvam khalvidam Brahmasi ... Tvam Brahma Tvam Vishnus Tvam Rudras Tvam Indras Tvam Agnis Tvam Vayus Tvam Suryas Tvam Candramas Tvam _Brahma_. Here Ganesa includes all the deities and the Pantheos. There is also a book called Ganesadarsanam in which the Vedanta sutras are rewritten and Ganesa made equivalent to Brahma. See Madras, _Cat. of Sk. MSS_. 1910-1913, p. 1030.] [Footnote 1030: It is just mentioned in S. Levi's _Nepal II_, p. 385, but is not in Rajendralal Mitra's _Catalogue_.] [Footnote 1031: Waddell, _Buddhism_, p. 131. Pander, _Pantheon_, p. 59, No. 56.] [Footnote 1032: Nepalese Buddhism knows not only the Dhyani Buddhas, Saktis and Bodhisattvas including Vajrasattva and Vajradhara, but also deities like Hayagriva, Yamantaka, Bhrikuti, Marici, Kurukulla. In both Nepal and Tibet are found pictures called Thsogs-sin in which the deities of the Pantheon (or at least the principal of them) are grouped according to rank. See for an example containing 138 deities the frontispiece of Getty's _Gods of Northern Buddhism_.] [Footnote 1033: _Buddhism_, pp. 350-1.] [Footnote 1034: For an outline of the method followed by Tibetans in studying the Tantras, see _Journal Buddhist Text Society_, 1893, vol. I. part III. pp. 25-6.] [Footnote 1035: The
