________________ [Footnote 7: Cited by Scherman, Visionslitteratur, p. 147.] [Footnote 8: Possibly, 'streams.'] [Footnote 9: AV. XVIII. 3. 13.) [Footnote 10: Compare AV. VI. 88. 2: "King Varuna and God Brihaspati," where both are gods.] [Footnote 11: [Greek: Kerberos] (=Çabala)= Ç[ra]rvara. Saram[=a) is storm or dawn, or something else that means 'runner.'] [Footnote 12: Here the fiend is expelled by a four-eyed dog or a white one which has yellow ears. See the Sacred Books of the East, IV. p. IXXXVII.] [Footnote 13: Scherman proposes an easy solution, namely to cut the description in two, and make only part of it refer to the dogs! (loc. cit. p. 130).] [Footnote 14: The dogs may be meant in I. 29.3, but compare II. 31.5. Doubtful is I. 66. 8, according to Bergaigne, applied to Yama as fire.] [Footnote 15: India, p. 224.] [Footnote 17: Barth, p. 23, cites I. 123. 6; X. 107. 2; 82. 2, to prove that stars are souls of dead men. These passages do not prove the point, but it may be inferred from X. 68. 11. Later on it is a received belief. A moonheaven is found only in VIII. 48.] [Footnote 18: Especially with Ymir in Scandinavian mythology.]
