[Footnote 18: RV. iii. 33. 2.]
[Footnote 19: RV. vii. 95. 2. Here the Sarasvat[=i] can be only the Indus.] [Footnote 20: Pa[=n]ca-nada, Punjnud, Persian 'Punj[=a]b,' the five streams, Vitas[=a], Asikn[=i], Ir[=a]vat[=i], Vip[=a]ç, Çutudr[=i]. The Punjnud point is slowly moving up stream; Vyse, JRAS. x. 323. The Sarayu may be the Her[=i]r[=u]d, Geiger, loc. cit. p. 72.] [Footnote 21: Muir, OST. ii. 351; Zimmer, loc. cit. p. 51 identifies the _K[=i]katas_ of RV. iii. 53. 14 with the inhabitants of Northern Beh[=a]r. Marusthala is called simply 'the desert.'] [Footnote 22: The earlier _áyas_, Latin _aes_, means bronze not iron, as Zimmer has shown, loc. cit. p. 51. Pischel, _Vedische Studien_, I, shows that elephants are mentioned more often than was supposed (but rarely in family-books).] [Footnote 23: Weber, _Indische Studien,_ I. p. 228; Oldenberg, _Buddha_, pp. 399 ff., 410.] [Footnote 24: Very lately (1893) Franke has sought to show that the P[=a]li dialect of India is in part referable to the western districts (Kandahar), and has made out an interesting case for his novel theory (ZDMG. xlvii. p. 595).] |
