literally 'the direction(s) of the order magnify me,' the
order being that of the seasons and of seasonable rites.]
[Footnote 9: Compare the 'devil-worship of Ucanas,' and the
scoffs at P[=u]shan. The next step in infidelity is denial
of a future life and of the worth of the Vedas.]
[Footnote 10: In the Buddhistic writings Indra appears as
the great popular god of the Brahmans (with Brahm[=a] as the
philosophical god).]

triangles representing the three gods and their wives, with
Linga and Yon[=i], see JRAS. 1851, p. 71.]
[Footnote 13: In the Tantras and late Pur[=a]nas. In the
earlier Pur[=a]nas there is as yet no such formal cult.]

170.]
[Footnote 15: Cat Br. ix. 3.1. 18.]
[Footnote 16: On this _quasi_ deity in modern belief compare
IA. XVIII. 46. It has happened here that a fate Providence

nothing more or less than Providence.]

[Footnote 18: In RV. X. 90. 9, _chandas_, songs,
incantations, imply a work of this nature.]
[Footnote 19: Unless it be distinctly _good_ magic the epic
heroes are ashamed to use magical rites. They insist on the
intent being unimpeachable.]

[Footnote 22: Compare Weber's account of the R[=a]jas[=u]ya,
p. 98; and, apropos of the Dacapeya, _ib._ 78, note; where
it is stated that _soma_-drinking for the warrior-caste is
