II. pp. 18-33. Schrader in his catalogue of the Sanskrit MSS. in the Adyar Library, 1908, notices an Upanishad called Mahamayopanishad, ascribed to Sankara himself, which deals with the special qualities of the four maths. Each is described as possessing one Veda, one Mahavakyam, etc. The second part deals with the three ideal maths, Sumeru, Paramatman and Sastrathajnana.] [Footnote 520: There is some reason to suppose that the Math of Sringeri was founded on the site of a Buddhist monastery. See _Journal of Mythic Society_, Bangalore, 1916, p. 151.] [Footnote 521: Pracchanna-bauddha. See for further details Book IV. chap. XXI. _ad fin._] [Footnote 522: The old folk-lore of Bengal gives a picture of Siva, the peasant's god, which is neither Vedic nor Dravidian. See Dinesh Chandra Sen, _Bengali Lang. and Lit._ pp. 68 ff. and 239 ff.] [Footnote 523: _J.R.A.S._ 1899, p. 242.] [Footnote 524: See some curious examples in Whitehead's _Village Gods of South India._] [Footnote 525: Rice, _Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions_, pp. 27 and 204.] [Footnote 526: The early Brahmi inscriptions of southern India are said to be written in a Dravidian language with an admixture not of Sanskrit but of Pali words. See _Arch. Survey India_, 1911-12, Part I. p. 23.] [Footnote 527: See Rice, _Mysore and Coorg_, pp. 3-5 and Fleet's criticisms, _I.A._. XXI. 1892, p. 287.] [Footnote 528: The various notices in European classical authors as well as in the Sinhalese chronicles prove this.] [Footnote 529: Except in the first chapter.] [Footnote 530: A complete list of them is given in Foulkes, _Catechism of the Shaiva religion_, 1863, p. 21.] [Footnote 531: _Tamilian Antiquary_, 3, 1909, pp. 1-65.] [Footnote 532: Edited and translated by Pope, 1900.] [Footnote 533: Established opinion or doctrine. Used by the Jains as a name for their canon.] [Footnote 534: Thus the catechism of the Saiva religion by Sabhapati Mudaliyar (transl. Foulkes, 1863) after stating emphatically that the world is created also says that the soul and the world are both eternal. Also just as in the Bhagavad-gita the ideas of the Vedanta and Sankhya are incongruously combined, so in the Tiruvacagam (_e.g._ Pope's edition, pp. 49 and 138) Siva is occasionally pantheized. He is the body and the soul, existence and non-existence, the false and the true, the bond and the release.] [Footnote 535: _E.g._ Hymn vi.] [Footnote 536: Pope's _
