Sanskrit Texts_, iv. p. 127 ff.]

[Footnote 73: Later interpreted as wives or eyes.]

[Footnote 74: For an epic guess at the significance of the
title _n[=i]laka[n.][t.]ha_, 'blue-throated,' see Mbh[=a] i.
18. 43.]

[Footnote 75: AV. iv. 28; viii. 2; xi. 2. Thus even in the
Rig Veda pairs of gods are frequently besung as one, as if
they were divinities not only homogeneous but even
monothelous.]

[Footnote 76: Brahm[=a]'s mark in the lotus; Vishnu's, the
discus (sun); Civa's, the Linga, phallic emblem.]

[Footnote 77: The grim interpretation of later times makes
the cattle (to be sacrificed) _men_. The theological
interpretation is that Civa is the lord of the spirit, which
is bound like a beast.]

[Footnote 78: The commenter, horrified by the murder of the
Father-god, makes Rudra kill 'the sin'; but the original
shows that it is the Father-god who was shot by this god,
who chose as his reward the lordship over kine; and such
exaltation is not improbable (moreover, it is historical!).
The hunting of the Father-god by Rudra is pictured in the
stars (Orion), Ait. Br. iii. 33.]

[Footnote 79: See Weber. _Ind. St._ ii. 37; Muir, iv. 403.
Carva (Caurva) is Avestan, but at the same time it is his
'eastern' name, while Bhava is his western name. Cat. Br. i.
7. 3. 8.]

and the very late Atharva Ciras Upanishad and M[=a]itr. Up.

[Footnote 81: According to the epic, men honor gods that
kill, Indra, Rudra, and so forth; not gods that are passive,
such as Brahm[=a], the Creator, and P[=u]shan (xii. 15. 18),
_ya eva dev[=a] hant[=a]ras t[=a]l loko 'rcayate
bh[=r.]ca[=.m], na Brahm[=a][n.]am_.]

[Footnote 82: Barth seems to imply that Harihara (the name)
is later than the _trim[=u]rti_ (p. 185), but he has to
reject the passage in the Hari-va[.n]ca to prove this. On
Ayen[=a]r, a southern god said to be Hari-Hara
(Vishnu-Civa), see Williams, _loc. cit_.]
