Footnote 153:
As the myth grows more and more into a religion, and the conception of
a mighty god who excels all others becomes fixed, the production of
thunder and rain, &c., is gradually transferred to this originally
solar god (see also Max Müller, _Chips_, &c., I. 357 _et seq._). The
sharp division made above is therefore absolutely true only of the
purely mythological stage. Conversely Indra and Varuṇa, originally
figures belonging to the gloomy cloudy and rainy sky, which take the
highest places in the Indian religion, are in the Vedic Hymns endowed
with solar traits.
Footnote 154:
Those to whom the philosophical terms _objective_ and _subjective_ are
not familiar must understand them respectively as _impersonal_ or
_impartial_, and _personal_ or _partial_; the former being that which
is outside the thinker’s personality, the latter that which is within
him, and therefore often the reflected image of external things on his
own mind.—TR.
Footnote 155:
On the disappearance of individuality in direct proportion to
antiquity, see Wilhelm von Humboldt, _Ueber die Verschiedenheit des
menschlichen Sprachbaues_, Berlin 1836, p. 4. Lazarus appears to
concede to the individual too much influence on the origin of speech;
see _Leben der Seele_ II. 115.
