e phrase of Keats in a letter quoted by
Bosanquet, _Gifford Lectures for 1912_, p. 66. "As various as the
lives of men are, so various become their souls and thus does God make
individual beings, souls, identical souls of the sparks of his own
essence."]
[Footnote 782: This tenet is justified by Brihad Aran. Up. III. 3 ff.
which is a great text for Ramanuja's school. "He who dwells in the
earth (water, etc.) and within the earth (or, is different from the
earth) whom the earth knows not, whose body the earth is, who rules
the earth within, he is thyself, the ruler within, the immortal."]
[Footnote 783: Bhag.-gita, XV. 16, 17.]
[Footnote 784: The two doctrines are called _Vivartavada_ and
_Parinamavada._]
[Footnote 785: These are only the more subtle _tattvas_. There are
also 60 gross ones. See for the whole subject Schomerus Der
Caiva-Siddhanta, p. 129.]
[Footnote 786: It also finds expression in myths about the division of
the deity into male and female halves, the cosmic egg, etc., which are
found in all strata of Indian literature.]
[Footnote 787: An account of tantric cosmology can be found in Avalon,
_Mahan. Tantra_, pp xix-xxxi. See also Avalon, _Prapancasara Tantra_,
pp. 5 ff.; Srinivasa Iyengar, _Indian Philosophy_, pp. 143 and 295
ff.; Bhandarkar, _Vaishn. and Saivism_, pp. 145 ff.]
[Footnote 788: Sarva-darsana-sangraha, chap. IX. For this doctrine in
China see Wieger _Histoire des Croyances religieuses en Chine_, p.
411.]
[Footnote 789: See Yule's _Marco Polo_, II. pp. 365, 369.]
[Footnote 790: See Rhys Davids' note in his _Dialogues of the Buddha
on Digha Nikaya_, Sutta V. pp. 166 ff. He seems to show that Lokayata
meant originally natural philosophy as a part of a Brahman's education
and only gradually acquired a bad meaning. The Arthasastra also
recommends the Sankhya, Yoga and Lokayata systems.]
[Footnote 791: Maitr. Up. VII. 8.]
[Footnote 792: See also Suali in _Museon_, 1908, pp. 277 ff. and the
article Materialism (Indian) in _E.R.E._ For another instance of
ancient materialism see the views of Payasi set forth in Dig. Nik.
XXIII. The Brihad Ar. Up. III. 2. 13 implies that the idea of body
and spirit being disintegrated at death was known though perhaps not
relished.]

300-1.]
