[Footnote 63: These three are the witnesses for the soul at the judgment, xii. 322. 55. V[=a]yu, Wind, is said to be even mightier than Indra, Yama, Indra and Varuna, _ib._ 155. 9, 10.] [Footnote 64: But (in a later account) not if he dies ignobly; for if one is slain by a man of low caste he goes to hell, xii. 298. 7.] [Footnote 65: Demoniac Indras (_i.e._, demon-leaders) and seers, xii. 166. 26.] [Footnote 66: 'The god of gods,' who rains blood in i. 30. 36, is declared by the commentator to be--Parjanya! The gods are here defending Soma from the heavenly bird, Garuda, and nearly die of fright.] [Footnote 67: xii. 313. 1-7, with the same watery finale as is usual.] [Footnote 68: The morning prayer, etc, to the sun is, of course, still observed, _e.g._, vii. 186. 4. Indra is thanked for victory and invoked for rain (iii. 117. 11; i. 25. 7; Holtzmann, _loc. cit._ p. 326) in an hymn that is less fulsome than those to Agni and S[=u]rya.] [Footnote 69: 111. 222, Atharvan's rediscovery of fire. As to Çrutis they are probably no more valuable than Smritis. The one given in iii. 208. 11, _agnayo in[=a]i[.n]sak[=a]m[=a]s_, seems to be adapted (_cf._ [=A]çv. Gs. iv. 1; the adjective, by the way, is still starred in Pw.). So [=A]çv. Gs. i. 15. 9, is repeated Mbh[=a]; i. 74. 63, as a "Vedic _mantragr[=a]ma_ " _(ang[=a]d ang[=a]t sambhavasi_, etc.).] [Footnote 70: The devils are on the Prince's side, and wish to keep him from death. The proverb is found _ib_. 252. 2; _[=a]tmaty[=a]g[=i] hy adho y[=a]ti_. The holy-grass is used in much the same way when R[=a]ma lies down by Ocean, resolved to die or persuade Ocean to aid him. The rites (vs. 24) are "in the Upanishad."] [Footnote 71: According to XII. 59. 80-84, the 'treatise of Brihaspati' comes from Çiva through Brahm[=a] and Indra.] [Footnote 72: In Buddhism Yama's messengers are Yakkhas. Scherman, _loc. cit_. p. 57.] [Footnote 73: Compare II. 22. 26: _gaccha yamak[s.]ayam_, 'go to Yama's destruction'; whereas of a good man it is said, 'I will send Indra a guest' (VII, 27.8).] [Footnote 74: _Yamasya sadana_. III. 11. 66. He now has hells, and he it is who will destroy the world. He is called 'the beautiful' (III. 41. 9), so that he must, if one take this Rudrian epithet with the citation above, be loosely (popularly) identified with Çiva, as god of death. See the second note below.] [Footnote 75: The old story of a mortal's visit to Yama to learn about life hereafter (_Çat. Br._ xi. 6.1; Katha Up., of N[=a]ciketas) is repeated in xiii. 71.]
