s re-born
diseased (anywhere, this is penal discipline), or finally is
annihilated. Justly may one compare the Brahmanic division
of the Manes into several classes, according to their
destination as conditioned by their manner of living and
exit from life. It is the same idea ramifying a little
differently; not a case of borrowing, but the growth of two
similar seeds. On the other hand, the un-Aryan doctrine of
transmigration may be due to the belief of native wild
tribes. It appears first in the Catapatha, but is hinted at
in the 'plant-souls' of the RV. (above, pp. 145,204,432),
possibly in RV. I. 164. 30,38; Boetlingk, _loc. cit_., 1893,
p. 88.]

[Footnote 15: This tribe now divides with the Lurka Koles
the possession of Chota Nagpur, which the latter tribe used
to command entire. The Or[=a]ons regard the Lurka Koles as
inferiors. Compare JRAS. 1861, p. 370 ff. They are sometimes
erroneously grouped with the Koles, ethnographically as well
as geographically. Risley, _Tribes and Castes of Bengal_, p.
XXXII.]

[Footnote 16: Something like this is recorded by Brinton,
_Myths of the New World_, p. 243, as the belief of an
American tribe, which holds that the fate of the dead
depends on the manner of death, the funeral rites, or "some
such arbitrary circumstance" (as in Greece).]

[Footnote 17: Compare the epic 'Mouse-people,' M[=u]shikas,
as well as Apollo's mouse. Possibly another Hindu mark of
sectarianism may be traced to the wild tribes, the use of
vermilion markings. This is the most important element in
the Bengal wedding rite (Risley).]

[Footnote 18: Above the Sunth[=a]ls, who inhabit the jungle
and lower slopes of the R[=a]jmah[=a]l hills, live the
P[=a]h[=a]r[=i]as, who never tell a lie (it is said), and
whose religion in some aspects is worth noticing. They
believe in one god (over each village god), who created
seven brothers to rule earth. The P[=a]h[=a]r[=i]as descend
from the eldest of these brothers. They believe in
transmigration, a future state, and oracles. But it is
questionable whether they have not been exposed to
Buddhistic influence, as 'Budo Gosain' is the name of the
supreme (sun-)god.]

[Footnote 19: In the ninth century Orissa was formed of the
territories of Khonds, Koles, and
