from the south to the north. See the allegory quoted in
_J.R.A.S._ 1911, p. 800.]

[Footnote 566: Thus Ramanuja says (Sri Bhashya, II. 2. 43) that the
Vedanta Sutras do not refute the Sankhya and Yoga but merely certain
erroneous views as to Brahman not being the self.]

[Footnote 567: It has been described as the earliest of the Vishnuite
Churches and it would be so if we could be sure that the existence of
the doctrine called Dvaitadvaita was equivalent to the existence of
the sect. But Bhandarkar has shown some reason for thinking that
Nimbaditya lived after Ramanuja. It must be admitted that the worship
of Radha and the doctrine of self-surrender or prapatti, both found in
the Dasasloki, are probably late.]

[Footnote 568: See Grierson in _E.R.E._ vol. II. p. 457.]

[Footnote 569: The Church of the Nimavats is also called
Sanakadi-sampradaya because it professes to derive its doctrine from
Sanaka and his brethren who taught Narada, who taught Nimbarka. At
least one sub-sect founded by Harivamsa (born 1559) adopts a doctrine
analogous to Saktism and worships Radha as the manifestation of
Krishna's energy.]

[Footnote 570: Called the Dasasloki. It is translated in Bhandarkar's
_Vaishn and Saivism_, pp. 63-5.]

[Footnote 571: Also spelt Alvar and Azhvar. The Tamil pronunciation of
this difficult letter varies in different districts. The word
apparently means one who is drowned or immersed in the divine love.
Cf. _Azhi_, the deep sea; _Azhal_, being deep or being immersed.]

[Footnote 572: An educated Vaishnava told me at Srirangam that devas
and saints receive the same homage.]

[Footnote 573: It is possible that the poems attributed to Namm'arvar
and other saints are really later compositions. See _Epig. Ind_. vol.
VIII. p. 294.]

[Footnote 574: XI. 5. 38-40.]

[Footnote 575: Bhandarkar (_Vaishn. and Saivism_, p. 50) thinks it
probable that Kulasekhara, one of the middle Arvars, lived about
1130. But the argument is not conclusive and it seems to me improbable
that he lived after Nathamuni.]

[Footnote 576: The first called Mudal-Ayiram consists of nine hymns
ascribed to various saints such as Periyarvar and Andal. The second
and third each consist of a single work the Periya-tiru-mori and the
Tiru-vay-mori ascribed to Tiru-mangai and Namm'arvar respectively.
The fourth part or Iyar-pa is like the first a miscellany containing
further compositions by these two as well as by others.]
