[Footnote 31: x. 72 (contains also the origin of the gods
from Aditi).]

[Footnote 32: x. 90, Here _chand[=a][.m]si_, carmina, is
probably the Atharvan.]

[Footnote 33: Rudras, Vasus, and [=A]dityas, the three
famous groups of gods. The Vasus are in Indra's train, the
'shining,' or, perhaps, 'good' gods.]

[Footnote 34: ii. 33. 13; x. 100. 5, etc. If the idea of
manus=bonus be rejected, the Latin _manes_ may be referred
to _m[=a]navas_, the children of Manu.]

[Footnote 35: Or: "in an earthly place, in the atmosphere,
or," etc.]

[Footnote 36: That is where the Fathers live. This is the
only place where the Fathers are said to be _nap[=a]t_
(descendants) of Vishnu, and here the sense may be "I have
discovered _Nap[=a]t_ (fire?)" But in i. 154. 5 Vishnu's
worshippers rejoice in his home.]

[Footnote 37: Or: "form as thou wilt this body (of a corpse)
to spirit life."]

[Footnote 38: x. 56. 4; otherwise, Grassmann.]

[Footnote 39: vi. 73. 9 refers to ancestors on earth, not in
heaven.]

[Footnote 40: Compare Muir, OST. v. 285, where i. 125. 5 is
compared with x. 107. 2: "The gift-giver becomes immortal;
the gift-giver lives in the sky; he that gives horses lives
in the sun." Compare Zimmer, _Altind. Leben_ p. 409; Geiger,
_Ostiran. Cultur_, p. 290.]

[Footnote 41: x. 88. 15, word for word: "two paths heard of
the Fathers I, of the gods and of mortals." Cited as a
mystery, Brih. [=A]ran. Up. vi. 2. 2.]

[Footnote 42: x. 16. 3: "if thou wilt go to the waters or to
the plants," is added after this (in addressing the soul of
the dead man). Plant-souls occur again in x. 58. 7.]

[Footnote 43: A V. XVIII.4.64; Muir, Av. _loc. cit._ p. 298.
A passage of the Atharvan suggests that the dead may have
been exposed as in Iran, but there is no trace of this in
the Rig Veda (Zimmer, _loc. cit._ p. 402).]

narrow 'house of clay,' RV. VII. 89. 1.]

Mueller, _Chips_, I. p. 45.]

where the old usages still
