[Footnote 70: p. 28. l. 24. _--may the genii of the woods_. He calls
on the Adityas, Vasavas, and Rudras, the Aswinas, the Maruts. This is
the literal version. They are different orders of genii, each
consisting of a definite number. The Adityas are twelve, and preside
over the different months. They are called the children of Kasyapa and
of Aditi his wife. According to Mr. Wilkins (notes to the
Bhagavat-Gita, p. 144), they are no more than emblems of the sun for
each month in the year. Mr. Wilkins gives their names:

The Vasavas, or Vasus, are eight. Indra is the first. They are the
guardians of the world, and apparently the same with the eight gods
mentioned in the early part of the poem.

The Rudras are eleven; according to some the eleven personifications
of Siva, who bears the name of Rudra. Bhagavat-Gita, p. 85. note 144.
"The lord of creation meditated profoundly on the earth, and created
the gods, the Vasus, Rudras, and Adityas." COLEBROOKE, in Asiatic
Researches, viii. 453.
