Cox's Aryan Mythology, Mueller's Lectures, Second Series, and
Biographies of Words.]

Ind. Theorieen over de Standenverdeeling, which we have not
seen.]

also in Ind. Streifen, i. 274. The essay on Omina and
Portenta contains translations of parts of the
Sha[d.]vi[.m]ca Br[=a]hma[n.]a, of the S[=a]ma Veda, and of
the K[=a]ucika (AV.) S[=u]tra.]

[Footnote 27: The statement is here made that the Vedic
religion knows nothing of idols; but see the other cited
works which seem to disprove this.]

[Footnote 29: Triton und Euphemos, oder Die Argonauten in
Libyen, by Water, in 1849, treats of the holy seven in a
ridiculous way. Not less ridiculous is the author's attempt
to explain everything by the Moon-Cult, thus anticipating
modern vagaries.]

du Perron's Oupnekhat, 1801, the first European version of
the Upanishads (through the Persian).]
