The period of time, also, would allow of their grafting the son of Artaxerxes and father of Darius, the worshipper of Mithras, on the stem of the adorers of Surya, while a curious notice of the Raja Jai Singh’s on a subsequent name on this list which he calls Naushirwan, strengthens the coincidence. Bahuman (see article ‘Bahaman,’ D’Herbelot’s _Bibl. Orient._) actually carried his arms into India, and invaded the kingdoms of the Solar race of Mithila and Magadha. The time is appropriate to the first Darius and his father; and Herodotus [iii. 94] tells us that the richest and best of the satrapies of his empire was the Hindu. Footnote 2.5.11: First lord. Footnote 2.5.12: Lord of the Bull. Footnote 2.5.13: Vidhyadhar was a Jain. Footnote 2.5.14: Pandu not being blessed with progeny, his queen made use of a charm by which she enticed the deities from their spheres. To Dharma Raj (Minos) she bore Yudhishthira; by Pavan (Aeolus) she had Bhima; by Indra (Jupiter Coelus) she had Arjuna, who was taught by his sire the use of the bow, so fatal in the Great War; and Nakula and Sahadeva owed their birth to Aswini Kumar (Aesculapius) the physician of the gods. Footnote 2.5.15: We must not disregard the intellect of the Amber prince, who allowed these ancient traditions to be incorporated with the genealogy compiled under his eye. The prince who obtained De Silva from Emmanuel III. of Portugal, who combined the astronomical tables of Europe and Asia, and raised these monuments of his scientific genius in his favourite pursuit (astronomy) in all the capital cities of India, while engrossed in war and politics, requires neither eulogy nor defence. Footnote 2.5.16: Drupada was of the Aswa race, being descended from Bajaswa (or Hyaswa) of the line of Ajamidha. Footnote 2.5.17: This marriage, so inconsistent with Hindu delicacy, is glossed over. Admitting the polyandry, but in ignorance of its being a national custom, puerile reasons are interpolated. In the early annals of the same race, predecessors of the Jaisalmer family, the younger son is made to succeed: also Scythic or Tatar. The manners of the Scythae described by Herodotus are found still to exist among their descendants: “a pair of slippers at the wife’s door” is a signal well understood by all Eimauk husbands (Elphinstone’s _Caubul_, vol. ii. p. 251). Footnote 2.5.18: _Tarangini._ Footnote 2.5.19: _Paenama_ is a [Persian] word peculiarly expressive of subserviency to paramount authority, whether the engagement be in money or service: from _pae_, ‘the foot.’ Footnote 2.5.20: Sacrifice of the horse to the sun, of which a full description is given hereafter. Footnote 2.5.21:
