ronounced in the Bhav[=i]shya(t) Pur[=a]na. Of the other
Pur[=a]nas the L[=i]nga is especially Civaite (_linga_ is
phallus), as are the Matsya and older V[=a]yu. Sometimes
Civa is androgynous, _ardhan[=a]r[=i]cvara_, 'half-female.'
But most of the Pur[=a]nas are Vishnuite.]

[Footnote 39: The worshippers of Bhagavat were originally
distinct from the P[=a]ncar[=a]tras, but what was the
difference between them is unknown. The sect of this name in
the pseudo-epic is not C[=a]kta in expression but only
monotheistic. Probably the names of many sects are retained
with altered beliefs and practices. The Vishnu Pur[=a]na, i.
11. 54, gives a model prayer which may be taken once for all
as the attitude of the Vishnuite: "Glory to V[=a]sudeva, him
of perfected wisdom, whose unrevealed form is (known as)
Brahm[=a], Vishnu, and Civa" (Hira[n.]yagarbha, Purusha,
Pradh[=a]na).]

Indra takes the place of older Varuna; that the house-priest
yields to the Brahm[=a]; that in this feast in honor of the
king he]

[Footnote 42: In Hinduism itself there is a striking example
of this. The Jagann[=a]th ('Juggernaut') temple was once
dedicated to Buddha as _loka-n[=a]th_ or _jagan-n[=a]th_,
'saviour of the world' Name, temple, and idol-car are now
all Vishnu's!]

[Footnote 43: That is, Rain and Sun, for all Indra's warlike
qualities are forgotten, absorbed into those of Civa and his
son, the battle-god. The sun crosses the equator at noon of
the second day, the 'Mah[=a] Pongol.']

[Footnote 44: "Now every neck is bent, for the surface of
the waters disturbed. Then with a heave, a hiss, and a surge
of bubbles, the seething milk mounts to the top of the
vessel. Before it has had time to run down the blackened
sides, the air resounds with the sudden joyous cry of
'Pongol, oh Pongol, S[=u]rya, S[=u]rya, oh Pongol,' The word
Pongol means "boiling," from the Tamil word _pongu_, to
boil; so that the joyous shout is, 'It boils, oh S[=u]rya,
it boils.' In a moment a convulsion of greetings animates
the assembly. Every one seizes his neighbor and asks, 'Has
it boiled?'
