one of silver, one of Jade and one of crystal, etc. The
earlier Buddha had as 'king of glory' 84,000 wives and other
comforts quite as remarkable.]

[Footnote 45: Translated by Davids, _Buddhist Suttas_ and
_Hibbert Lectures_.]

[Footnote 46: What we have several times had to call
attention to is shown again by the side light of Buddhism to
be the case in Brahmanic circles, namely, that even in
Buddha's day while Brahm[=a] is the god of the thinkers
Indra is the god of the people (together with Vishnu and
Civa, if the texts are as old as they pretend to be).]

[Footnote 47: _Mah[=a]parinibb[=a]na_ iii, to which Rhys
Davids refers, is scarcely a fair parallel.]

[Footnote 48: The imitation of the original play on words is
Rhys Davids', who has translated these Suttas in SBE. vol.
XI. For the following see Fausboell, _ib_. vol. X.]

[Footnote 49: After one enters on the stream of holiness
there are only seven more possible births on earth, with one
in heaven; then he becomes _arhat_, venerable, perfected,
and enters Nirv[=a]na.]

[Footnote 50: Compare the fairies and spirits in _ib_. v.
10; and in i. 31, 'give gifts to the gods.']

[Footnote 51: We agree with Rhys Davids, _Buddhism_, pp.
111, 207, that Buddha himself was an atheist; but to the
statement that Nirv[=a]na was the "extinction of that
sinful, grasping condition of mind and heart which would
otherwise be the cause of renewed individual existences"
should in our opinion be added "and therewith the extinction
of individuality." Compare Rhys Davids' _Hibbert Lectures_,
p. 253.]

[Footnote 52: Compare the definition of an 'outcast' in the
_Vasala-sutta_: "He that gets angry and feels hatred, a
wicked man, a hypocrite, he that embraces wrong views and is
deceitful, such an one is an outcast, and he that has no
compassion for living things."]

[Footnote 53: Compare _ib_. 5. 36: "In due course he spoke,
of charity, morality, heaven, pleasure, and the advantage of
renunciation."]

M[=a]gandiya_, and _Suddhatthaka Suttas_, translated by
Fausboell, SBE. vol. X.]
