[102] Santanu, the fourth prince in succession from Sambarana, the son of Riksha, whose reign began at the commencement of the Kali Yug. (_Ward_, vol. III. p. 21-22).――D. S. According to Sir W. Jones (_Works_, IV. p. 32) and to _Wilson’s Dict._ (_sub voce_), Sántanu was the twenty-first sovereign of the lunar race in the third age; he was the son of _Pratípa_, and grandson of _Riksha_ (see also _Vichnupurana_. _Wilson’s transl._, p. 457.)――A. T. [103] Kuntí was mother of the five Pandava princes, by as many gods; the names of the princes were _Yud´hisht´hira_, _Bhíma_, _Arjúna_, _Nakuĺa_, and _Sahadéva_. Pandu was interdicted by a curse from connubial intercourse, and obtained the above five sons through his two wives Kuntí and Madrí (_Ward_, vol. III. p. 22).――D. S. [104] _Parásaru_: this philosopher is described as a very old man, in the dress of a mendicant. He is charged with an infamous intrigue with the daughter of a fisherman; to conceal his amour with whom, he caused a heavy fog to fall on the place of his retreat. Veda Vyasa, the collector of the Vedas, was the fruit of this interview (_Ward_, vol. IV. p. 40).――D. S. [105] One of the thirty-eight divisions of Central India (_Ward_, vol. III, p. ix.)――D. S. [106] _Ahalyá_ (_Vichnupurana, Wilson’s transl._, p. 454) was the daughter of _Bahwaśwa_, and the wife of Gautama.――A. T. [107] In the _Institutes of Manu_ (l. III. sl. 21.) eight forms of marriage are enumerated, viz.: the marriage form of _Brahma_, of the _Dévas_ (gods), of the _Rishis_ (saints), of the _Praja patis_ (creators), of the _Asúras_ (demons), of the _Gandharvas_ (celestial musicians), of the _Rákshasas_ (giants), and of the _Pisáchas_ (vampires). The six first in direct order are by some held valid in the case of a priest; the four last in that of a warrior; and the same four, except the _Rakshasa_ marriage, in the cases of a merchant and a man of the servile class. Some consider the four first only as approved in the case of a priest; one, that of _Rakshasas_, as peculiar to the soldier; and that of _Asuras_ to a mercantile and a servile man; but in this code three of the five last are held legal, and two illegal: the ceremonies of _Pisáchas_ and _Asuras_ must never be performed.――A.
