[Footnote 69: Very similar to this is the etymological confusion upon
which is based the myth of the "confusion of tongues" in the eleventh
chapter of Genesis. The name "Babel" is really Bab-Il, or "the gate of

built a house, ripped himself up in revenge, and became a demon of the
kind called Brahmadasyu, who has been ever since the terror of the whole
country, and is the most common village-deity in Kharakpur. Toward the
close of the last century there were two Brahmans, out of whose house a
man had wrongfully, as they thought, taken forty rupees; whereupon one
of the Brahmans proceeded to cut off his own mother's head, with the
