[5] “Thus spake the Bhagavat enraptured; the elder Subhuti, and the friars, nuns, the faithful lay men and women, and the Bodhisattvas also, and the whole world of gods, men, evil spirits and fairies, praised the preaching of the Bhagavat.”—_The Vagrakkhedika_. Max Müller.

T. W. Rhys Davids. “_As when men, travelling, feel a glorious perfume sweet Pervading all the country side, and gladdening them, infer at once, ‘Surely ’tis giant forest trees are flowering now!’ So, conscious of this perfume sweet of righteousness That now pervades the earth and heavens, they may infer: ‘A Buddha, infinitely great, must once have lived!’_” INDEX Alexandria, 20 Alms-bowl, 3, 5 Almsgiving, 2 Anagami, 31, 32 Ananda, 11, 12 Anepidu, 51 Anniversaries, 37 Anta-Kalpas, 42 Anuradhapura, 51 Anurogrammum, 51 Apatti, 28 Aranyaka, 35, 36, 37 Arhat, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 55, 78 Ari-Hat, 32 Arjuna, 57 Arnold (Sir Edwin), 11, 18, 21, 29, 40, 42, 48, 50, 55, 94 Arya, 31, 32 Aryagiti, 26 Arya-Marga, 32 Ascetic, 21 Asiatic, 89 Asoka, 94, 95 Asurus, 44 Asvaghocha, 9, 74 Atman, 51 Atoms, 48 Attavada, 12 _αὐτοδιδακτος_, 38 _Awakening of Faith_, 9, 74 _Bacche (The)_, 20 Bana, 35, 45, 51 Beal, 7, 10, 15, 24, 26, 28, 36, 39, 43, 45, 49, 50, etc. Benares, 2 Benefactions, 3 _Bhagavad-Gita_, 8, 23, 34, 58, 68 Bhagavat, 23, 26, 38, 47, 54, 80, 85, 87, 103, 105, 110 Bhoga-Deha, 83 Bikkhus, 95 Bikshu, 7 Bikshuni, 7 Bodhi, 6, 35, 62, 63 Bodhisattva, 6, 38, 39, 58, 59, 69, 75, 76, 97, 98, 99, 106, 110 Bo-Tree, 70, 71 Brahman, 69 Brahmanas, 1 Brahmanical, 83 Brahmanism, 17 Buddha, 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 18, etc. _Buddha-Karita_, 86, 91, 109 Buddhaphalam, 32 Buddhas, 7, 11, 25, 28 Buddhaship, 6, 15, 32 Buddhic, 27 Buddhism, 13, 14, 16, 19, 41, 49, 63, 72, 80, 83, 110 Burnouf, 108 Calingapatah, 56 Calvary, 71 Ceylon, 80 _Ceylon Friend_, 61 Chakra, 95 Chakravartin, 94, 95 Chang-Ming, 20 Chang-Shui, 101 Chiliocosms, 43, 49 China, 5, 19 _Chinese Buddhism_, 2, 7, 9, 37, 39, 40, 69 Chioh-Hsien, 11 Christ, 8, 23, 40, 63, 73 Christians, 74 Chuan-Fah-Luen, 14 Chuang-Yen, 39 Circars, 56 Coral, 25, 43, 64, 81, 107 Cornelian, 25, 43, 64, 81, 107 Cowell, E.
