Footnote 5:
That is, if only our mind is quieted, we shall enjoy peace in our own
home as well as in a forest. _S_iva is here looked upon as the symbol
of the Supreme Spirit.
Footnote 6:
Brâhma is the same as Brâhmo; the former Sanskrit, the latter
Bengali. Thus, Debendranâth called his book on the Upanishads
“Brâhma-dharma_h_,” though Brâhma also is a faulty name in Sanskrit.
_Samâjes existing in India._
1. Brâhma-Samâj,

Footnote 7:
Râmtonoo is probably meant for Râmatanu, body of Râma, but when a name
has once become familiar in its modern Bengali form, I do not always
like to put it back into its classical Sanskrit form.

Footnote 11:
Kâme_s_var Aiyar, Sandhyâvandana, pp. 58, 105, 113.
Footnote 12:
Sandhyâ is derived from Sandhi, literally the joining, the coming
together of day and night, or night and day. Sandhivelâ is twilight,
and Sandhyâ has the same meaning. Sandhyâvandana was originally the
twilight-worship, the morning and evening prayer, to which a third was
added (the Mâdhyâhnika) the noon prayer, when the sun culminated.
These prayers were once incumbent on every Brâhman, though they have
now assumed a very perfunctory form, or are omitted altogether.
