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 moon-heaven is found only in VIII. 48.] [Footnote 18: Especially with Ymir in Scandinavian mythology.] [Footnote 19: _Visionslitteratur_, 1892.] [Footnote 20: _Henotheism in the Rig Veda_, p. 81.] [Footnote 21: This religious phase is often confounded loosely with pantheism, but the distinction should be observed. Parkman speaks of (American) Indian 'pantheism'; and Barth speaks of ritualistic 'pantheism,' meaning thereby the deification of different objects used in sacrifice (p. 37, note). But chrematheism is as distinct from pantheism as it is from fetishism.] [Footnote 22: Some seem to be old; thus Aramati, piety, has an Iranian representative, [=A]rma[=i]t[=i]. As masculine abstractions are to be added Anger, Death, etc.] [Footnote 23: Compare iv. 50; ii. 23 and 24; v. 43. 12; x. 68. 9; ii. 26. 3; 23. 17; x. 97. 15. For interpretation compare Hillebrandt, _Ved. Myth._ i. 409-420; Bergaigne, _La Rel, Ved._ i. 304; Muir, OST, v. 272 ff. (with previous literature).] [Footnote 24: _Mbh[=a]_.i. 74. 68. Compare Holtzmann, ZDMG. xxxiii. 631 ff.] [Footnote 25: i. 89. 10: "Aditi is all the gods and men; Aditi is whatever has been born; Aditi is whatever will be born."] [Footnote 26: _Henotheism in the Rig Veda_ (Drisler Memorial).] [Footnote 27: Ex. xv. 11; xviii. 11.] [Footnote 28: RV. x. 114. 5; i. 164. 46; AV. iv. 16. 3.] [Footnote 29: Bloomfield, JAOS. xv. 184.] [Footnote 30: "Desire, the primal seed of mi
