[Footnote 26: Civa, called Bhava, Carva, the trident-holder,
the Lord ([=I]c[=a]na), Cankara, the Great God, etc.,
generally appears at his best where the epic is at its
worst, the interpolations being more flagrant than in the
case of Vishnuite eulogies. The most devout worshipper of
Vishnu is represented as an adherent of Civa, as invoking
him for help after fighting with him. He is "invincible
before the three worlds." He is the sun; his blood is ashes.
All the gods, with Brahm[=a] at their head, revere him. He
has three heads, three faces, six arms (compare iii. 39. 74
ff.; 83. 125); though other passages give him more.]

[Footnote 27: Civa has as sign the bull: Vishnu, the boar.]

[Footnote 30: Holtzmann now says (in _Neunzehn Buecher_, p.
198) that the whole episode which terminates with Baladeva's
visit an addition to the original. Holtzmann's monograph on
Brahm[=a] is in ZDMG. xxxviii. 167.]

[Footnote 31: A good example is that of the two visions of
Arjuna, first the vision of Vishnu, then another vision of
Civa, whom Arjuna and Vishnu visit (vii. 80).]

[Footnote 32: Cankara and Civa mean almost the same; 'giver
of blessings' and 'prospering' (or 'kindly'), respectively.]

[Footnote 33: _Brahma[n.]as sumahotsavas_ (compare the
commentator). The _sam[=a]ja_ of Brahm[=a] may be explained
by that of Civa mentioned in the same place and described
elsewhere (iv. 13. 14 ff.; i. 164. 20).]

[Footnote 34: Not _sleeping_, Vishnu, despite _svapimi_,
does not slumber; he only muses.]

[Footnote 35: Man (divine) and god human, but N[=a]r[=a]yana
is a new name of Vishnu, and the two are reckoned as two
inseparable seers (divinities).]

[Footnote 36: This is the only really trinitarian passage in
the epic. In i. 1. 32; xiii. 16. 15, the belief may be
indicated, but not certainly, as it is in Hariv. 10,662. See
on this point Holtzroann, ZDMG. xxxviii. p. 204. In xiv. 54.
14 the form is V[=i]shnu, Brahm[=a], Indra.]

[Footnote 37: Compare 339. 114, "thou art
_pancamah[=a]kalpa_." The commentator gives the names of
five sects, S[=a]ura, C[=a]kta, G[=a]neca, C[=a]iva,
Vaishnava. The 'five times,' im
