The anniversary of the birth of Kanhaiya is celebrated with splendour at Sindhia’s court, where the author frequently witnessed it, during a ten years’ residence. Footnote 4.20.49: The priests of Kanhaiya, probably so called from the _chob_ or club with which, on the annual festival, they assault the castle of Kansa, the tyrant usurper of Krishna’s birthright, who, like Herod, ordered the slaughter of all the youth of Vraj, that Krishna might not escape. These _Chaubēs_ are most likely the _Sobii_ of Alexander, who occupied the chief towns of the Panjab, and who, according to Arrian, worshipped Hercules (Hari-kul-es, chief of the race of Hari), and were armed with clubs. The mimic assault of Kansa’s castle by some hundreds of these robust church militants, with their long clubs covered with iron rings, is well worth seeing. [The Chaubē Brāhmans of Mathura do not take their name from _Chob_, ‘a club,’ but from Skt. _Chaturvedin_, ‘learned in the four Vedas.’ By the Sobii the Author means the Sibi or Sivaya, inhabiting a district between the Hydaspes and the Indus (McCrindle, _Alexander_, 366). They have no possible connexion with the Mathura Chaubēs.] Footnote 4.20.50: [Govardhana means ‘nourisher of cattle.’] Footnote 4.20.51: [The title Guphanātha is not recorded.] Footnote 4.20.52: Jalandhara on the Indus is described by the Emperor Babur as a very singular spot, having numerous caves. The deity of the caves of Jalandhara is the tutelary deity of the Prince of Marwar. [When the body of Daksha was cut up, the breast fell at Jālandhar; the Daitya king, Jālandhara, was crushed by Siva under the Jawālamukhi hill (_Āīn_, ii. 314 f.).] Footnote 4.20.53: [Cave worship does not seem to be specially connected with the cult of Krishna. The mention of the cave at Govardhan seems to refer to the legend of Krishna protecting the people of Braj from a storm sent by Indra, by holding the hill over them (Growse, _op. cit._ 60). The Gaya caves are Buddhistic, and have no connexion with Krishna (_IGI_, xii. 198 f.). Guphanāth does not seem to be a Krishna title, and the cave of Gopnāth in Kāthiāwar is said to derive its name from Gopsinghji, a Gohil prince, who reigned in the sixteenth century (_BG_, viii. 445).] Footnote 4.20.54: “In Hebrew _heres_ signifies the sun, but in Arabic the meaning of the radical word is to guard, preserve; and of _haris_, guardian, preserver” (Volney’s _Ruins of Empires_, p. 316). [Needless to say, Elysium (Ἠλύσιον πεδίον) has no connexion with Ἥλιος, the sun.] Footnote 4.20.55:
