authoritative in all philosophical matters. _See_ Hopkins, _G. E. I._,

Footnote 71:
Mr. Justice Telang was inclined to put the date before the third
century B.C., but his otherwise most judicious criticism is faulty in
this that it does not take all the factors of the problem into
consideration. Others, such as Müller, Weber, Davies and Lorinser,
incline to a very late date, about the third century A.D. Most writers
believe that the true date lies between these extremes. So
Monier-Williams, Hopkins, Fraser and others. Prof. Amalnerkar’s
pamphlet contains a number of most interesting points. His contention,
that the phrase, _Brahmasūtrapadaih_ (_G._ XIII, 4) refers to the
_Vedānta Sūtras_, and that the _Gītā_ is therefore the later work of
the two, has been accepted by Max Müller (_S. S. I. P._, 155), but
Prof. Hopkins thinks the _Gītā_ is earlier than the Sūtra (_R. I._,
400). The theory which Prof. Hopkins holds, that the Divine Song was
originally an Upanishad, and that it was redacted, first as a Vishuite
poem, and then a second time in the interests of Krishnaism (_R. I._,
389), would account, on the one hand, for the numerous inconsistencies
in its teaching, and, on the other, for the very conflicting signs of
date which it presents. For a criticism of Bunkim Chundra’s views,
