Weber, _I. L._, 70. Footnote 78: Whether Krishna Angirasa in the _Kaushītaki Brāhmana_ be the same person as Krishna Devakiputra, or not, we cannot tell. Footnote 79: Dutt, _C. A. I._, Vol. I, 127; Bose, _H. C._, Vol. I, 33-34; Hopkins, _R. I._, 403; Monier-Williams, 112. Footnote 80: The reference to Krishna and Arjuna runs _Vāsudevārjunābhyām vun_ (IV, 3, 98), words which put the two on one level. Footnote 81: Hopkins, _G. E. I._, 390-395. Footnote 82: Hopkins, _G. E. I._, 395. Footnote 83: We need not stay to ask whether the _Srimadbhāgavat_ and other Purānas can be trusted as evidence for the life of Krishna; for all scholars agree that, while ancient Purānas existed, all those that have come down to us reflect _a later stage of Hinduism than that of the Mahābhārata_; and that, while they contain much that is old scattered up and down their pages, the oldest fragments are of the same general date as the _Mahābhārata_ and _Manu_.

Footnote 84: The study of Prof. Macdonell’s excellent manual ought surely now to be made part of any Sanskrit course prescribed for a University degree in India. Footnote 85: Bose, _H.

I._, Vol. I, 219; Garbe, 19, 83. Footnote 91: That it was only at a very late date that this identification took place is evident from the fact that it is not once mentioned in the early literature. Even in two of the Vishnu Upanishads of the Atharva Veda, the _Atmabodha_, and the _Nārāyana_, Krishna is referred to as a mere man. Apart from the _Gītā_ and the _Mahābhārata_, the earliest reference to him as God incarnate is in the _Gopālatāpanīyopanishad_. See Weber, _I. L._, 169; and _cf._ Garbe, 18-19, 85; Bose, _H. C._, Vol. I, 25-26; Dutt, _C. A. I._, Vol. II, 191. Footnote 92: For the inconsistencies of the _Gītā_, see Telang, p. 11; Hopkins, _R. I._, 390, 399, 400.
