the sister of Rama is found in the Dasaratha Jataka (641).] [Footnote 362: But this colonization is attributed by tradition to Vijaya, not Rama.] [Footnote 363: See especially book VI. p. 67, in Growse's _Translation._] [Footnote 364: See Muir's _Sanskrit Texts_, vol. IV. especially pp. 441-491.] [Footnote 365: Ekanatha, who lived in the sixteenth century, calls the Adhyatma R. a modern work. See Bhandarkar, _Vaishn. and Saivism_, page 48. The Yoga-Vasishtha R. purports to be instruction given by Vasishtha to Rama who wishes to abandon the world. Its date is uncertain but it is quoted by authors of the fourteenth century. It is very popular, especially in south India, where an abridgment in Tamil called Jnana-Vasishtha is much read. Its doctrine appears to be Vedantist with a good deal of Buddhist philosophy. Salvation is never to think that pleasures and pains are "mine."] [Footnote 366: Chand. Up. III. 17.6] [Footnote 367: The Kaush. Brahm. says that Krishna was an Angirasa XXX. g. The Anukramani says that the Krishna of Rig Veda, VIII. 74 was an Angirasa. For Ghora Angirasa "the dread descendent of the Angirases" see Macdonell and Keith, _Vedic Index_, s.v.] [Footnote 368: _E.g._ Dig. Nik. V. The Pancaratra expressly states that Yoga is worship of the heart and self-sacrifice, being thus a counterpart of the external sacrifice (bahyayaga).] [Footnote 369: Pan. IV. 3. 98, _Vasudevarjunabhyam vun._ See Bhandarkar, _Vaishnavism and Saivism_, p. 3 and _J.R.A.S._ 1910, p. 168. Sutra 95, just above, appears to point to _bhakti_, faith or devotion, felt for this Vasudeva.] [Footnote 370: Especially the Besnagar column. See Rapson, _Ancient India_, p. 156 and various articles in _J.R.A.S._ 1909-10.] [Footnote 371: X. i, vi.] [Footnote 372: III. i. 23, Ularo so Kanho isi ahosi. But this may refer to the Rishi mentioned in _R.V._ VIII. 74 who has not necessarily anything to do with the god Krishna.] [Footnote 373: See Hemacandra Abhidhanacintamani, Ed. Boehtlingk and Rien, p. 128, and Barnett's translation of the _Antagada Dasao_, pp. 13-15 and 67-82.] [Footnote 374: Apparently the same as the Vrishnis.] [Footnote 375: III. XV.] [Footnote 376: It would seem that the temple of Dvaraka was built between the composition of the narrative in the Mahabharata and of the Vishnu Purana, for while the former says the whole town was destroyed by the sea, the latter excepts the temple and says that who
