FOOTNOTES:
Footnote 1:
Note.—The logical term pratiyogi vyava-cheda is explained as _pratiyogi
nirúpaka vyávrithi_, which means that egoism being an abstract term,
does not point out any particular person or thing, and the ego being a
discrete word conveys no sense of a concrete noun. Moreover it is
indeterminate and signifies no determinate number, nor is it
predicated by any of the predicables which is not applicable to it.
Footnote 2:
Note.—These are named as the spheres of _ahamkára_ or egoism,
_mahatattwa_ or the great principle, and the _ananta-prakriti_ or the
hyperphysical Infinity; in the saiva and sánkhya sástras.
Footnote 3:
(Note.—Full many a gem of brightest ray serene, the dark unfathomed
caves of ocean bear. Gray.)
Footnote 4:
Note.—The sky or vacuum is the taumatra or identic with the
sound or word; and the void and its sound are both uncreated and
eternal. (_sabdho ajonitáth_ शब्दोऽयोनित्वात्). So it said:—In
the beginning was the word (sound), the word was with god
(vacuity), and the word was god (atmá), the spirit or air.
