_Madhu_ is intoxicating drink, from _madhu_, ‘a bee,’ in Sanskrit [madhu, ‘anything sweet’]. It is well known that mead is from honey. It would be curious if the German mead was from the Indian madhu (bee): then both cup (_kharpara_) and beverage would be borrowed. [_Madhu_ does not mean ‘a bee’ in Sanskrit.] Footnote 2.6.72: _Amrita_ (immortal), from the initial privative and _mrit_, ‘death.’ Thus the _Immurthal_, or ‘vale of immortality,’ at Neufchatel, is as good Sanskrit as German [?]. Footnote 2.6.73: Abhai Singh, ‘the fearless lion,’ prince of Marwar, whose bard makes this speech at the festal board, when the prince presented with his own hand the cup to the bard. Footnote 2.6.74: Regner Lodbrog, in his dying ode, when the destinies summon him. Footnote 2.6.75: Phūl, the flower of the mahua tree, the favourite drink of a Rajput. Classically, in Sanskrit it is _madhūka_, of the class Polyandria Monogynia [_Bassia latifolia_] (see _As. Res._ vol. i. p. 300). Footnote 2.6.76: A human skull; in the dialects pronounced _khopar_: _Qu._ _cup_ in Saxon? [Cup, in Low Latin _cuppa_.] Footnote 2.6.77: The Kanphara [or Kanphata] Jogis, or Gosains, are in great bodies, often in many thousands, and are sought as allies, especially in defensive warfare. In the grand military festivals at Udaipur to the god of war, the scymitar, symbolic of Mars, worshipped by the Guhilots, is entrusted to them [_IA_, vii. 47 ff.; _BG_, ix. part i. 543]. Footnote 2.6.78: An entire cemetery of these, besides many detached, I have seen, and also the sacred rites to their manes by the disciples occupying these abodes of austerity, when the flowers of the _ak_ [_Calatropis gigantea_] and leaves of evergreen were strewed on the grave, and sprinkled with the pure element.

The Celtic Franks had the same custom. The arms of Chilperic, and the bones of the horse on which he was to be presented to Odin, were found in his tomb. Footnote 2.6.83: The Dakini (the Jigarkhor of Sindh) is the genuine vampire [_Āīn_, ii. 338 f.]. Captain Waugh, after a long chase in the valley of Udaipur, speared a hyena, whose abode was the tombs, and well known as the steed on which the witch of Ar sallied forth at night. Evil was predicted: and a dangerous fall, subsequently, in chasing an elk, was attributed to his sacrilegious slaughter of the weird sister’s steed.
