t" (or, myself),
_sa ma [=a]tm[=a]_. The Brahmanic priest teaches that he is a
god like other gods, and goes so far as to say that he may
be united with a god after death. The Upanishad philosopher
says 'I am God.']

[Footnote 2: Compare Scherman, _Philosophische Hymnen_, p.
93; above, p. 156.]

[Footnote 3: Or, in other words, the thought of the
Brahmanic period (not necessarily of extant Br[=a]hmanas) is
synchronous with part of the Vedic collection.]

[Footnote 4: The last additions to this class of literature
would, of course, conform in language to their models, just
as the late Vedic Mantras conform as well as their composers
can make them to the older song or _chandas_ style.]

lxxxii.]

_loc. cit._ p. lxviii.]

[Footnote 7: The relation between the Br[=a]hmanas (ritual
works discussed in the last chapter) and the early
Upanishads will be seen better with the help of a concrete
example. As has been explained before, Rig Veda means to the
Hindu not only the 'Collection' of hymns, but all the
library connected with this collection; for instance, the
two Br[=a]hmanas (of the Rig Veda), namely, the Aitareya and
the K[=a]ush[=i]taki (or C[=a]nkh[=a]yana). Now, each of
these Br[=a]hmanas concludes with an [=A]ranyaka, that is, a
Forest-Book (_ara[n.]ya_, forest, solitude); and in each
Forest Book is an Upanishad. For example, the third book of
the K[=a]ush[=i]taki [=A]ranyaka is the K[=a]ush[=i]taki
Upanishad. So the Ch[=a]ndogya and Brihad [=A]ranyaka belong
respectively to the S[=a]man and Yajus.]

[Footnote 8: This teaching is ascribed to C[=a]ndilya, to
whose heresy, as opposed to the pure Vedantic doctrinc of
Cankara, we shall have to revert in a later chapter. The
heresy consists, in a word, in regarding the individual
spirit as at any time distinct from the Supreme Spirit,
though C[=a]ndilya teaches that it is ultimately absorbed
into the latter.]

[Footnote 9: "God' Who' is air, air (space) is God 'Who',"
as if one said 'either is aether.']

[Footnote 10: 'Did penance over,' as one doing penance
remains in meditation. 'Brooded' is Mueller's apt word for
this _abhi-tap._]
