Where this song comes of Arjun, and how with God he spake. HERE ENDS, WITH CHAPTER XVIII., Entitled "Mokshasanyasayog," Or "The Book of Religion by Deliverance and Renunciation," THE BHAGAVAD-GITA. [FN#1] Some repetitionary lines are here omitted. [FN#2] Technical phrases of Vedic religion. [FN#3] The whole of this passage is highly involved and difficult to render. [FN#4] I feel convinced sankhyanan and yoginan must be transposed here in sense. [FN#5] I am doubtful of accuracy here. [FN#6] A name of the sun. [FN#7] Without desire of fruit. [FN#8] That is,"joy and sorrow, success and failure, heat and cold,"&c. [FN#9] i.e., the body. [FN#10] The Sanskrit has this play on the double meaning of Atman. [FN#11] So in original. [FN#12] Beings of low and devilish nature. [FN#13] Krishna. [FN#14] I read here janma, "birth;" not jara,"age" [FN#15] I have discarded ten lines of Sanskrit text here as an undoubted interpolation by some Vedantist [FN#16] The Sanskrit poem here rises to an elevation of style and manner which I have endeavoured to mark by change of metre. [FN#17] Ahinsa. [FN#18] The nectar of immortality. [FN#19] Called "The Jap." [FN#20] The compound form of Sanskrit words. [FN#21] "Kamalapatraksha" [FN#22] These are all divine or deified orders of the Hindoo Pantheon. [FN#23] "Hail to Thee, God of Gods! Be favourable!" [FN#24] The wind. [FN#25] "Not peering about,"anapeksha. [FN#26] The Calcutta edition of the Mahabharata has these three opening lines. [FN#27] This is the nearest possible version of Kshetrakshetrajnayojnanan yat tajnan matan mama. [FN#28] I omit two lines of the Sanskrit here, evidently interpolated by some Vedantist. [FN#29] Wombs. [FN#30] I do not consider the Sanskrit verses here-which are somewhat freely rendered--"an attack on the authority of the Vedas," with Mr Davies, but a beautiful lyrical episode, a new "Parable of the fig-tree." [FN#31] I omit a verse here, evidently interpolated. [FN#32] "Of the Asuras," lit. [FN#33] I omit the ten concluding shlokas, with Mr Davis. [FN#34] Rakshasas and Yakshas are unembodied but capricious beings of great power, gifts, and beauty, same times also of benignity. [FN#35] These are spirits of evil wandering ghosts. [FN#36] Yatayaman, food which has remained after the watches of the night. In India this would probably "go bad." [FN#37] I omit the concluding shlokas, as of very doubtful authenticity.
