[Footnote 32: It is assumed in XII. 364. 2 that "leaves and
air" are food enough for a great saint. Compare below the
actual asceticism of modern devotees.]

[Footnote 33: III. 25. 14: _saptar[s.]ayas ... divi
viprabh[=a]nti_. Compare _ib._ 261. 13, and the apocalypse
in VII. 192. 52 ff., where Drona's soul ascends to heaven, a
burning fire like a sun; In sharp contrast to the older
'thumbkin' soul which Yama receives and carries off in the
tale of Satyavant. Compare also Arundhati in I. 233. 29.]

[Footnote 34: Described, as above, as a place of singers and
dancers, where are the Vedic gods and sages, but no sinners
or cowards (III. 42. 34 ff.).]

[Footnote 35: From another point of view the stars are of
interest. They are favorable or unfavorable, sentient, kind,
or cruel; influential in man's fate. Compare III. 200. 84,
85, where the sun is included with the _grahas_ (planets)
which influence men, and ib. 209. 21,
_tulyanak[.s]atrama[.n]gala_.]

[Footnote 36: Other of Indra's spirits are the singers,
Gandharvas and Apsarasas; also the horse-headed Kinnaras and
C[=a]ranas, who, too, are singers; while later the
Vidy[=a]dharas belong both to Indra and to Civa. In modern
times the South Indian Sittars, 'saints,' take their name
from the Siddhas.]

[Footnote 37: In _d[=a]nnavar[s.]i_ there is apparently the
same sort of compound as in _devar[s.]i_ and _brahmar[s.]i_,
all associated with the _siddhas_ in III. 169. 23. But
possibly 'demons and seers' may be meant.]

[Footnote 38: III. 37. 32-35 (_prapadye vicvedev[=a]n!_).]

[Footnote 39: Weber finds in the Asuras' artisan, Asura
Maya, a reminiscence of Ptolemaios. He is celebrated in I.
228. 39, and II. 1, and is the generai leader of the
_d[=a]navas_, demons, perhaps originally a folk-name of
enemies.]

[Footnote 40: See below. The formal division is, _d[=a]iva,
hatha, karma, i.e._, man's fate depends on gods, Fate, and
his own acts; although _hatha_, Fate, is often implied in
_d[=a]iva_, 'the divine power.' But they are separated, for
example, in iii. 183. 86.]

[Footnote 41: Compare the tales and xii. 148. 9, _sat[=i]_
(suttee). In regard to the horse-sacrifice, compare Yama's
law as expounded to Gautama: "The acts b
