page 168 note 1 Mr. Chanda (p. 23) argues that the Vasiṣṭhas were originally the priests of Sudās's family and that Viśvāmitra was an interloper. But PB. xv, 5. 24 distinctly implies that the Vasiṣṭhas had to obtain this office, and the fact that Vasiṣṭha performed the Aindra Mahābhiṣeka for Sudās (AB. viii, 21. 11) refers, not to the beginning of his reign, but to a later period in it.

page 175 note 2 It may be noted that Mr. Chanda's correction (p. 228) of Mr. Shamasastry's rendering of Kauṭ. i, 2 is untenable, as it involves construing anu-īkṣ with a genitive. The correct view is to construe etāsām with balābale; Anvīkṣikī considers the relative weight of the three sciences—the Vedas, business, and policy. The same text really renders impossible any doubt as to the identity of Lokāyata with the atheistic system which bears that name throughout Indian literature, and may be regarded as finally disposing of Professor Rhys Davids' ingenious suggestion in Dialogues of the Buddha (1899), pp. 166 seqq.Google Scholar
