d combination of documents, as
in a mixed and eclectic mode of thought. Even in European books of the
first rank inconsistencies are not unknown and they need not cause
surprise in works which were not written down but committed to memory.
A poet composing a long religious poem in this way and feeling, as
many Hindus feel, both that God is everything and also that he is a
very present personal help, may very well express himself differently
in different parts. On the other hand the editors of such poems are
undoubtedly tempted to insert in them later popular doctrines.]

[Footnote 493: The name appears not to be in common use now, but the
Pasupata school is reviewed in the Sarva-darsana-sangraha (_c._
1330).]

[Footnote 494: Sivabhagavata, see his comment on Panini, V. 3. 99 and
V. 2. 76. The name is remarkable and suggests that the Sivaites may
have imitated the Bhagavatas.]

[Footnote 495: I. xxiii. 209. The _Bibliotheca Ind._ edition reads
Nakuli. Aufrecht (_Bodl. MSS._) has Lakuli. The same story is found in
Linga P. chap. XXIV. Lakuli is said to have had four pupils who
founded four branches. Lakulin does not play an important part in
modern Sivaism but is mentioned in inscriptions from the tenth till
the thirteenth centuries. The Sarva-darsana-sangraha describes the
Nakulisa-Pasupata system and quotes Nakulisa who is clearly the same
as Lakulin. The figures on Kushan coins representing Siva as holding a
club may be meant for Lakulin but also may be influenced by Greek
figures of Herakles. See for Lakulin Fleet in _J.R.A.S._ 1907, pp. 419
ff. and Bhandarkar _Vaishnavism and Saivism_, pp. 115 ff. The coins
of Wema Kadphises bear the title Mahisvara, apparently meaning
worshipper of the Great Lord. Temples in south India seem to have been
named after Kayarohana in the seventh century A.D. See Gopinatha Rao,
_Hindu Iconography_, II. p. 19.]

[Footnote 497: Mahabhar. XII. 13702 ff. It is recited by Daksha when
he recognizes the might of Siva after the unfortunate incident of his
sacrifice.]

sects appears to be an inscription at Igatpuri in the Nasik district
of about 620 A.D. recording a grant for the worship of
