According to Diodorus Siculus. [Rudra-Siva has a benign side to his character, and may be associated with the Sun (R. G. Bhandarkar, _Vaisnavism, Saivism and Minor Religious Systems_, 105). But the Author, in his constant references to “Bāl”-Siva, has pressed this conception to an excessive length.] Footnote 4.22.63: The vulture and crane, which soar high in the heavens, are also called _garuda_, and vulgarly _gidh_. The ibis is of the crane or heron kind. Footnote 4.22.64: Phaeton was the son of Cephalus and Aurora. The former answers to the Hindu bird-headed messenger of the sun. Aruna is the Aurora of the Greeks, who with more taste have given the dawn a female character. Footnote 4.22.65: Also called Dolayatra. Footnote 4.22.66: Bhagavat and Matsya Puranas. See Sir W. Jones on the lunar year of the Hindus, _Asiatic Researches_, vol. iii. p. 286. Footnote 4.22.67: [Mr. F. Ll. Griffith tells me that this comes from a French translation of Plutarch, _De Iside et Osiride_, cap. xii. (birth of Osiris on the first of the epagomenal days). This entry of Osiris into the moon seems to mean his conception rather than his birth. Φαμενώθ is the name of the seventh month, about 25th February.] Footnote 4.22.68: _Arka_, ‘the sun,’ in Sanskrit. [This is due to Wilford (_Asiatic Researches_, iii. 134) and is, of course, impossible.] Footnote 4.22.69: Pha-ra is but a title, ‘the king.’ [Egyptian Pro, ‘the great house.’] Footnote 4.22.70: _Des divinités génératives: ou du culte du Phallus chez les anciens et les modernes_ (Paris). Footnote 4.22.71: Of the former race the Ranas of Mewar, of the latter the princes of Narwar and Amber, are the representatives. Footnote 4.22.72: Aethiopia, ‘the country of the sun’; from _Ait_, contraction of Aditya. Aegypt may have the same etymology, _Aitia_ [see p. 699 above]. Footnote 4.22.73: [The Author may refer to Pārsvanātha, 23rd Jain Tīrthakara, whose symbol was his serpent; but his mother was Vāmadevi. Trisala was mother of the 24th Tīrthakara, Mahāvira or Vardhamāna, but his cognizance was a lion.] Footnote 4.22.74: It is absurd to talk of these being modern; decipher the characters thereon, and then pronounce their antiquity. [Ellora, 5th to 9th or 10th centuries A.D.; Elephanta, 8th to 10th (_IGI_, xii. 22, 4).] Footnote 4.22.75: Vulg. _Sharifa_. Footnote 4.22.76: Rama subjected her to the fiery ordeal, to discover whether her virtue had suffered while thus forcibly separated. Footnote 4.22.77: Vulg. _Nariyal_. Footnote 4.22.78: Palmyra is Sanskrit corrupted, and affords the etymology of Solomon’s city of the desert, Tadmor. The ﺙ p, by the retrenchment of a single diacritical point, becomes ت t; and the ل (_l_) and د (_d_) being permutable, Pal becomes Tad, or Tal—the Palmyra, which is the Mor, or chief of trees; hence Tadmor, from its date-trees [?].
