Th e Vocabulary annexed to the following Selections from the Mahdbhdrata has been compiled upon a plan similar to that adopted in the Mitra-ldbha; and will, it is hoped, be found adequate to remove every obstacle which might retard the progress of the Sanskrit Student. Although the style of the Mahdbhdrata is, for the most part, sufficiently perspicuous, seldom offering examples of long and intricate compounds ; still, it may not be out of place, to apprise the Student, that numerous deviations from the ordinary rules of grammar are to be met with in the course of this immense poem. Even within the limited compass of the following Extracts, several anoma- lies of this kind occur; such as, the omission oivisarga; the coalition of two words which the rules of sandhi forbid to combine ; the use of the second form of the indeclinable past participle, although the verb be not preceded by a particle ; and the elision of the augment of the preterite, or its insertion between two prepositions. ADVERTISEMENT. With a solitary exception or two, the metre is either the common sloka of sixteen syllables, or that called Indra- vajra; for an account of which, the Student may consult the Appendix to Mitra-ldbha. The Preface, which furnishes a general outline of the subject-matter of this great poem, and the Annotations which are interspersed throughout the following pages, are both from the able pen of Professor Wilson ; and will doubtless be acknowledged greatly to enhance, if not solely to constitute, the merit of the work. F.J. 1st January, 1842. PREFACE. The Mahabharata and Ramayana were designated by Sir William Jones, the two epic poems of the Hindus. The appropriateness of the epithet has been denied by some of those ultra-admirers of Virgil and Homer, who will allow the dignity of the Epos to be claimed by none but the objects of their idolatry : and, in the restricted sense in which a poem is entitled epic, agreeably to the definition of Aristotle, it may indeed be matter of question, if the term be strictly applicable to the Hindu Poems. Although, how- ever, it might not be impossible to vindicate their pretensions to such a title, yet it is not worth while to defend them. It matters little what they are called ; and they will not lose their value, as interesting narratives of important events, as storehouses of histo- rical traditions and mythological legends, as records of the ancient social and political condition of India, and as pictures of national manners, if, instead of epic, they be denominated heroic poems. The Mahabharata, then, is a heroic poem in eighteen ' Parvas,' Cantos or Books; which are said to contain 100,000 'slokas' or stanzas. The printed edition contains 107,389 slokas; but this comprises the supplement called Hari-vansa, the stanzas of which are 16,374, and which is certainly not a part of the original Mahabha- rata. There is reason to believe that the primary authentic poem was of a still more limited extent than it would reach even after the deduction ; for it is said, in the first book, that, exclusive of its iv PREFACE. episodes, the poem consisted of 24,000 slokas. Some of the episodes are equivocal additions ; others spring naturally out of the busi- ness of the story ; and many of them are, no doubt, of considerable antiquity. « The author of the poem is said to be Krishna Dwaipayana, the 'Vyasa' or arranger of the Vedas, and the actual father of the two princes Pandu and Dhritarashtra, whose progeny are the principal characters of the fable. He taught the work to his pupil Vaisampayana, who recited it at a great sacrifice celebrated by Janamejaya, the great-grandson of Arjuna, one of the heroes of the poem. As we have it, it is said to have been repeated by Sauti the son of Lomaharshana to the Rishis, or sages, assembled on occasion of a religious solemnity in the Naimisha Forest. The subject of the Mahabharata is a war for regal supremacy in India, between the sons of two brothers, Pandu and Dhritarashtra. The sons of the former were five in number; Yudhishthira, Bhima, and Arjuna, by one of his wives, Pritha; and Nakula and Sahadeva by his other wife, Madri. Dhritarashtra had as numerous a family as King Priam : but they were all sons, with the addition of a single daughter. Of the hundred sons, Duryodhana was the eldest, and the foremost in hate and hostility to his cousins. Although the elder of the two princes, Pandu, 'the Pale 1 (as the name denotes), was rendered by his pallor (which may be suspected of intimating a leprous taint), incapable of succession. He was obliged, therefore, to relinquish his claim to his brother ; and retired to the Himalaya mountains, where his sons were born, and where he died. Upon his death, his sons, yet in their boyhood, were brought to Hastinapura by the religious associates of Pandu's exile, and were introduced to Dhritarashtra as his nephews. PREFACE. v Some doubts were at first expressed of the genuineness of their birth; and, in truth, they were the sons of Pandu only by courtesy, being the children of his wives by sundry divinities. Thus Yudhishthira was the son of Dharma, the god of justice, the Hindu Pluto : Bhima, of Vayu, or god of the wind, the Indian iEolus : Arjuna was the son of Indra, the god of the firmament, Jupiter Tonans : and Nakula and Sahadeva were the sons of two per- sonages peculiar to Hindu mythology, their Dioscuri, twin-sons of the Sun, the Aswini-Kumaras. As, however, Pandu had acknow- ledged these princes as his own, the objection to their birth was overruled by his example; and the boys were taken under the guardianship of their uncle, and educated along with his sons. The principal performers in the Mahabharata are distinctively and consistently characterized. The sons of Pandu, with the ex- ception of Bhima, are represented as mode.rate, generous, and just : and Bhima is not ungenerous, although somewhat of a choleric temperament, and of overweening confidence in his herculean strength. The sons of Dhritarashtra are described as envious, arrogant, and malignant : and this contrast of character enhances, even in boyhood, the feelings of animosity which the consciousness of incompatible inheritance has inspired. The genealogical descent of the two families, the circumstances of the birth and education of the princes, their juvenile emulation and enmity, and the adventures of the Pandavas when they attain adolescence, are narrated in the ' Adi Parva' or First Book. From this book, the three first of the following selections, the Passage of Arms at Hastinapura, with the episodical accounts of the quarrel between Drona and King Drupada by which it is preceded and followed, are extracted as illustrative of the spirit of rivalry which animated the young princes, and of some of the ancient usages of the vi PREFACE. Hindus. Subsequently to the transactions there described, the practices of the sons of Dhritarashtra against the lives of the Pandavas become still more malevolent ; and they privily set fire to the house in which Pritha and her sons reside. As the Pandavas had been warned of the intention of their enemies, they eluded it, and escaped by a subterranean passage, leaving it to be reported and believed that they had perished in the flames of their dwelling. They secrete themselves in the forests, and adopt the garb and mode of life of Brahmans. It is during this period that they hear of the ' Swayambara,' a rite familiar to the readers of Nala, the choice of a husband by a princess from the midst of congregated suitors; of Draupadi, daughter of Drupada, King of the upper part of the Doab ; and they repair to his court, and win the lady. The circum- stances of this exploit, and its immediate consequences, form the subject of the fourth of the following Selections. The existence of the sons of Pandu having - become generally known by the occurrences at the Swayambara of Draupadi, King Dhritarashtra was prevailed upon by his ministers to send for them, and to divide his sovereignty equally between them and his sons. The partition was accordingly made. Yudhishthira and his brethren reigned over a district on the Jumna, at their capital Indraprastha ; and Duryodhana, with his brethren, were the Rajas of Hastinapura on the Ganges. The ruins of the latter city, it is said, are still to be traced on the banks of the Ganges ; whilst a part of the city of Delhi is still known by the name of Indraprasth. The contiguity of these two cities, and consequently of the principalities of which they were respectively the capitals, necessarily suggests the inference, that in the days of the Mahabharata, as well as in later times, India was parcelled out amongst a number of petty indepen- dent sovereigns. This inference becomes certainty from the valuable specification which the poem contains of the very many Rajas who PREFACE. vii took part in the struggle in favour of one or other of the contending houses. This state of things, however, was not irreconcilable with the nominal supremacy of some one paramount lord : and after the partition of the kingdom of Hastinapura, a fresh source of envy and hatred springs up in the minds of the sons of Dhritarashtra, from the pretensions of Yudhishthira to celebrate the ' Rajasuya' solem- nity — a sacrifice, at which princes officiate in menial capacities, and make presents in acknowledgment of submission. This forms the topic of the ' Sabha Parva,' the Second Book of the Poem. The claims of Yudhishthira to universal homage are preceded by the subjugation of the Powers of India by himself and his brothers. These conquests are merely predatory incursions, and are characte- ristic of the mode of warfare practised in India even in our own days ; in which the object of the Marhattas, as of the Moguls before them, was commonly nominal submission, and the payment of tribute, varying in amount, according to the power of the superior to exact it, rather than the actual annexation of territory to their dominions. Shah Alem was titular sovereign of India; and the coins were everywhere struck in his name, even after he was a captive in the hands of Sindhia, and a pensioner in those of the British Government. It does not follow, therefore, from the existence of a number of petty cotemporary princes, that there never was one, nominally at least, supreme monarch ; nor is there the least incompatibility, in Indian history, between a sovereign ostensibly paramount, and numerous princes virtually independent. The notices of the countries subdued by the Pandava princes, and the articles brought as tribute by the subjugated nations, furnish in this chapter much valuable and curious elucidation of the ancient civil and political circumstances and divi- sions of India. Amongst the gaieties of the occasion, the sight of which embit- ters the animosity of the sons of Dhritarashtra, a diversion is 6 viii PREFACE. insidiously proposed by them, which is the mainspring of all the subsequent mischief. The inveterate passion for play by which the early Hindus were inspired, as we learn from various parts of the Mahabharata, as well as from other authorities, is a remarkable fea- ture in the old national character. It is far from entirely obliterated, and it is as strong as ever amongst some others of the Eastern people : as the Malays, for instance, who, when they have lost every thing they possess, stake their families and themselves. So, in the gambling which ensues in the Mahabharata, at what appears to he a kind of backgammon, where pieces are moved according to the caste of the dice, Yudhishthira loses to Duryodhana his palace, his wealth, his kingdom, his wife, his brothers, and himself. Their liberty and possessions are restored by the interference of the old king Dhri- tarashtra: hut Yudhishthira is again tempted to play; condi- tioning, that if he loses, he and his brothers shall pass twelve years in the forests, and shall spend the thirteenth year incognito. If disco- vered before the expiration of the year, they are to renew the whole term of their exile. He loses : and, with Draupadi and his brethren, goes into banishment, and lives the life of a forester. A descrip- tion of the forest life of the Pandavas constitutes the topic of the Third Book, the ' Vana Parva. 1 Many episodes occur in this book : one of which is the story of Nala, which is recited to teach Yudhishthira and his brethren resignation and hope. Another is the attempt of Jayadratha to carry off Draupadi by force, which is the fifth of the following Selections. In the selection that follows, the circumstances of Jayadratha's liberation are detailed, with his propitiation of Mahadeva; and the passage includes a brief refe- rence to the successive destructions and renovations of the world ; and a notice of some of the principal avataras of Vishnu. At the expiration of the twelfth year, the Pandavas enter the service of King Virata in different disguises. Their adventures PREFACE. ix are described in the ' Virata Parva,' the Fourth Book. They acquire the esteem of the King ; and when they make themselves known to him at the end of the thirteenth year, obtain his alliance to avenge their wrongs and vindicate their right of sovereignty. The Fifth Book, the ' Udyoga Parva,' represents the preparations of the two parties for war, and enumerates the princes who enter into alliance with them. Amongst these is Krishna, the ruler of Dwaraka, and an incarnation of Vishnu. He is related by birth to both families, and professes a reluctance to join either; but prescient of what is to happen, he proposes to Duryodhana the choice between his individual aid and the co-operation of an immense army. Duryodhana unwisely prefers the latter; and Krishna, himself more than a host, becomes the ally of the Pandavas, the charioteer of his especial friend and favourite Arjuna, and the principal instrument of the triumph of his allies. The four following Books are devoted to descriptive details of the battles which take place. Some of these are very Homeric ; but, in general, the interest of the narrative is injured by repetition, and the battles are spoiled by the introduction of supernatural weapons, which leave little credit to the hero who vanquishes by their employment. The armies of Duryodhana are commanded in succession by Bhishma his great-uncle, Drona his military preceptor, Karna the King of Anga, his friend, and Salya the King of Madra, his ally : and the description of their operations is contained in as many Parvas, named, after them, ' Drona-Parva' &c. These chiefs, and many others, are slain at the close of their commands ; and in the Ninth or ' Salya Parva,' Duryodhana him- self is killed by Bhima, in single combat with maces, in the use of which weapon they are both represented as excelling. A few of the surviving chiefs on the side of Duryodhana attempt to avenge the x PREFACE. destruction of their friends by a night attack on the camp of the Pandavas, as narrated in the Tenth, or ' Sauptika Parva.' The attack is repelled chiefly by the timely assistance of Krishna. A short Book, ' the Stri Parva,' describes the grief and lamenta- tions of the women of either party over the slain, and the sorrow and anger of the old king Dhritarashtra. Yudhishthira him- self gives way to poignant regret for what has passed : and the next Book, the ' Santi Parva ' or ' Chapter of Consolation,' details, with more than sufficient diffuseness, the duties of Kings, the efficacy of liberality, and the means of obtaining final emancipation from exis- tence. Hence the sections of this Parva are entitled ( Raja-dharma,' ' Dana-dharma,' and ' Moksha-dharma' Parvas, or more properly ' Upaparvas,' minor cantos. The Thirteenth Book, the 'Anusa- sana Parva,' is a long and prolix series of discourses upon the duties of society, as communicated by Bhishma, whilst about to die, to Yudhishthira. In this, as well as in the sections of the ' Santi Parva,' the didactic portions are enlivened by appropriate tales and fables : each of the Books contains many sound doctrines and inter- esting illustrations, although both are somewhat misplaced in a narrative heroic poem. The remaining Books of the Mahabharata, although more or less episodical, are in better keeping with the story. They are also short, and hasten to the catastrophe. The Fourteenth or ' Aswamedhika Parva' describes the celebration of the 'Aswamedha' rite — the sacri- fice of a horse, by Yudhishthira, in proof of his supremacy. In the Fifteenth Book, the ' Asrama Parva,' King Dhritarashtra, with his queen Gandhari and his ministers, retires to a hermitage, and obtains felicity or dies. The Sixteenth or ' Mausala Parva' nar- rates the destruction of the whole Yadava race, the death of Krishna, who was one of the tribe, and the submersion of his PREFACE. xi capital Dwaraka by the ocean. The Seventeenth Book, called the ' Mahaprasthanika' or ' Great journey,' witnesses the abdication of his hardly-won throne, by Yudhishthira, and the departure of himself, his brothers, and Draupadi, to the Himalaya, on their way to the holy mountain Meru. As they proceed, the influence of former evil deeds proves fatal, and each in succession drops dead by the way-side ; until Yudhishthira, and a dog that had followed them from Hastinapura, are the only survivors. Indra comes to convey the prince to Swarga, or Indra' s heaven; but Yudhishthira refuses to go thither, unless admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog shall bear him company ; and Indra is obliged to comply. The Eighteenth Book, the ' Swargarohana, introduces Yudhish- thira in his bodily form to heaven. To his great dismay, he finds there Duryodhana and the other sons of Dhritarashtra; but sees none of his own friends, his brothers, or Draupadi. He demands to know where they are, and refuses to stay in Swarga without them. A messenger of the gods is sent to shew him where his friends are, and leads him to the ' fauces graveolentis Averni,' where he encounters all sorts of disgusting and terrific objects. His first impression is, to turn back ; but he is arrested by the wailings of well-remembered voices, imploring him to remain, as his presence has already alleviated their tortures. He overcomes his repugnance, and resolves to share the fate of his friends in hell, rather than abide with their enemies in heaven. This is his crowning trial. The gods come, and applaud his disinterested virtue. All the horrors that had formerly beset his path, vanish ; and his friends and kindred are raised along with him to Swarga ; where they become again the celestial personages that they originally were, and which they had ceased to be for a season, in order to descend along with Krishna xii PREFACE. in human forms amongst mankind, and co-operate with him in relieving- the world from the tyranny of those evil beings, who were oppressing the virtuous and propagating impiety, in the characters of Duryodhana, his brothers, and their allies. The Hari-vansa is a sort of Supplement to the Mahabharata. It professes to give an account of the genealogy of Hari or Vishnu, in the character of Krishna ; but adds to it genealogical details, the narrative of Krishna's exploits, and a variety of legends and tales tending to recommend the worship of the demi-god. The internal evidence is strongly indicative of a date considerably subsequent to that of the major portion of the Mahabharata. It has been trans- lated into French by M. Langlois, and the translation has been published by the Oriental Translation Committee. The text of the Mahabharata has been printed at Calcutta, in four quarto volumes. The work was commenced by the Com- mittee of Public Instruction, and completed by the Asiatic Society of Bengal. The great extent of the work, and the tediousness of much of its contents, preclude the prospect of its ever being translated through- out; though, as a monument of Hindu antiquity, it merits entire translation. Although, however, we can scarcely expect a transla- tion of the whole, yet very many portions of it well deserve to be rendered into some of the languages of Europe. Something of translation in detail has already been effected. The late Sir Charles Wilkins led the way, by his translation of the ' Bhagavad Gita,' which is an episode of the ' Bhishma Parva.' Of the following Selections, the ' Passage of Arms,'' the ' Marriage of Draupadi,' and the ' Rape of Draupadi,' have been freely translated into blank verse by the writer of this notice. The translations were PREFACE. xiii published in the periodical journals of Calcutta. Part of the opening of the first ' Parva,' rendered into English, it is believed, by Sir C. Wilkins, is published in the ' Annals of Oriental Literature.' Professor Bopp has also published the ' Nalus,' the ' Diluvium,' the Journey of Arjuna, the ' Story of Savitri,' and the ' Rape of Draupadi,' with translations in Latin and German ; and the first of these has assumed an English garb, from the distinguished pen of the Rev. H. Milman, in which, surpassing grace of style is combined with extraordinary faithfulness, both to the letter, and the spirit of the original poem. As contributing to elucidate the ancient geography of India, a portion containing the enumeration of a variety of countries has been translated and illustrated by the writer, and incorporated in the pages of the Vishnu Purana : and the illustration of ancient India, derivable from the Maha- bharata, is in course of very careful and learned prosecution by Professor Lassen of Bonn, in a series of valuable dissertations published in the Zeitschrift fur die Kunde des Morgenlandes. By these means, the merits, both poetical and historical, of the Mahabharata are becoming more extensively known: but in the amplitude of its extent, in the numerous traditions, legends and tales which it contains, and in its many didactic and philosophical passages, it offers an accumulation of materials adapted to different tastes, and auxiliary to diverging researches, which must long advantageously engage the attention, and reward the industry, of Sanskrit scholars.

It is now more usually known by the name of Hardwar ; properly, Haridwara, or Haradwara, the gate of Vishnu or Siva : appellations bestowed upon it probably in times more recent than the composition of the Mahabharata, when the Hindus were first ranged under the different, and some- times contending sects of Vaishnavas and Saivas. For an account of a sanguinary affray between them at this very place, see Asiatic Researches, Vol. xii. 3 Bharadwaja, a celebrated sage, the son of Vrihaspati. He is also said to have been adopted by Bharata, king of India, and to have succeeded him ; but this tradition probably applies to a different person. In the Ramayana, the hermitage of this sage is placed at Prayaga or Allahabad, in the vicinity of which its former site is still pointed out by the natives. 4 Drofia, the son of Bharadwaja, was fabled to have been born in a bucket ; whence his name " Drona," signifying a trough or vessel for holding water : hence he is described as Ayonija, " not of woman born :" he is also named Bharadwaja, as in verse 4, from his father. 5 Agnivesa, a sage, the son of Agni, the deity of fire. He is one of the early teachers of medicine. Agneyastra, the weapon of fire — a kind of fire-arms. Fiery arms or rockets were possibly employed by the Hindus in remote antiquity, as well as in recent times : whence came the notion of certain mysterious weapons framed of the elements, and to be wielded B onl y ■renftr ^t ^m w^r *m*R^ *gr. ii m ii h fHc*i«HiH*4-I *rt ^^r *Tf mf«H: i f^kRHR ^C tRFR^R#h: II If II rmt ^anfVff ifiw * trt |i^t**r^ i MNJ^ ^MlgWtj ^R II $ II rT^T ^ "3^ ^WW^ ^TrfTn: II t II ^T^FT ^^InHIH ^m'|rri ^ II e II only by deities and demigods.

See page 7, verse 1 . 2 Prishata, a prince of the lunar dynasty of the branch of Puru. 3 Drupada, the son of Prishata ; but more celebrated as the father of Draupadi, the bride of the Paridus. 4 Panchala was a country extending north and west of Delhi, from the foot of the Himalaya to the Chumbul. It derived its name from being governed by the five (pancha) sons of a prince named Haryaswa. 5 Jamadagnya is a patronymic, implying son of Jamadagni, a Rishi, who was killed by the sons of Kartavirya, a king of Mahishmati, the modern Chuli Maheswar. It was in revenge of his father's death that his son, called Kama, as in the next verse, or Parasu- Rama, ' Rama with the axe,' exterminated the Kshatriya race, and gave the earth to the Brahmans. The legend probably intimates a struggle between the Brahmans and Ksha- triyas for the government of India. It is told at length in the Vana Parva of the Mahabha- rata, whence it has been translated and inserted in the translated Vishnu Puraiia, p. 401. ^T rH| *H3|sh mtrf*!Ufl TTSR "^ II =|0 II rnrr +^Km« i 3 ymnwt *4^mmi : i ^Rf u|«i^4HU<^ ^ THTT *SRtf^[ II *9 II H^ H^rfir *ki*h "P^tt ^w^: II *e II *uf3. % f^n ^rot r^ ijf hi*4«3^^hh ii $o ii Wt fW f^TfrT ^tVt %f fTrJrf H ^ II T ^ft& ^TiTt HlPcNK ftp: ^^t I 7f ^tfi ^jtt wtm *rftrgf f^ftr^ ii 33 ii frttft^n: ^nsq ^ ^TtT wftm% II $tf II rn^T miP^h^iPm *fWf ft tfam ri ii ?q 11 ^|f fwfw^/^Fj^TT -ftrirfT^rr: II 3% II II ^gfMHlftfNHMHH II 1 Nagasahvaya, the city called after the Naga, meaning, in this place, ' an elephant ; ' as in the synonyme, Hastinapura.

This part of the coast has always been, and is still known to the people on the east of the Bay of Bengal, from Burmah to Java, as Kling. a Tamalipta, or Tamralipta, also used for the name of its Raja, is the country imme- diately on the west of the Bhagirathi — Tamlook, Hijjalee, and Midnapur. 3 Pattana means, properly, any city ; which, or the districts of which, is here intended, is uncertain. It was applied to the capital of the Guzerat Princes, but at a subsequent date. At this period, Krishna was regent of Guzerat, and his capital was Dwaraka. At present, the name is given to the principal commercial city of Behar, or Patna. But the capital of Magadha, or Behar, at this time was Rajgriha, the traces of which are still visible at Rajgarh, amongst the hills between Patna and Gaya. The Raja of Rajgriha was Jarasandah, who was afterwards slain by Krishna. A number of names have been omitted ; as the list is little better than a barren catalogue, and is more tedious than interesting. V 1 Kandarpa is a name of the Hindu Cupid. 2 Devaganas. Hindu mythology enumerates various ganas, companies or troops of inferior divinities; some of whom are frequently, others but rarely, introduced. The Rvdras are eleven in number, personifications of Siva, and attendants upon him. The Adilyas are twelve suns ; that is, they represent the sun as presiding over each month of the year. 3 The Vasus are eight divinities who are chiefly known as attendants upon Indra. The Aswins are two, the twin sons of Surya, or the sun by his wife Sanjna transformed to a mare; whence their appellation, from Aswa, 'a mare.' They are also represented by two stars forming the first of the lunar asterisms. The Sddhyas are the personified prayers and rites of the Vedas. 4 The Maruts, or Winds, are forty-nine in number; and are appropriately attendants upon Indra, as king of the firmament. 5 The Daityas are the first-born sons of Kasyapa, by Diti daughter of Daksha. They are the Titans and Giants of Hindu mythology. 6 Suparna, more frequently called Garuda, was born to Kasyapa by Vinata. He is the king of the feathered tribes, and the remorseless enemy of the serpent race. 7 The Uragas are the Nagas, by whom Patdla is inhabited. 8 Devarshis, or Deva rishis, are sages of a divine origin, but leading a life of penance and devotion, principally on earth. 9 Guhyakas and Charahas are inferior divinities, attendant upon Kuvera, the god of wealth. 1 Viswavasu is one of the chief of the Gandharvas, who are presently named, and who are the singers and musicians of the court of Indra. 2 Narada, a divine sage, according to some accounts the son of Brahma. He is always represented as carrying a Vina or lute ; and one legend affirms his having been, in one of his births, the chief of the heavenly musicians or Gandharvas. Considered as a real person, he may have been an early teacher of musical science. 3 Parvata is a divine Rishi ; of whom little is known, except that he is called a son of Kasyapa. He is usually named together with Narada. 4 The Apsarasas are the nymphs of Indra's heaven. In one age they were the daughters of Kasyapa ; in another, they were produced, like Aphrodite, from the waves of the ocean, when it was churned for ambrosia. Several of these ladies make a distinguished figure in the poetry and drama of the Hindus. See the Vikramorvasi. 5 Halayudha, a name of Balarama, the elder brother of Krishna, having the shaft of a plough (hala) for his weapon (ayudha). 6 Janarddana, a name of Krishna, who receives the adoration (arddana) of mankind (jana). 7 Vrishnis and Andhakas, two branches of the Yadava family ; of which Krishna repre- sented the more important, though not the senior branch. The Vrishnis descended from Vrisha the son of Madhu ; descended from Sahasrajit, the eldest son of Yadu. There is also a Vrishni, who, withAndaka, is a son of Satwata, a descendant of Kroshtri, the second of the sons of Yadu. The Yadavas, Jadavas, Jados, or Jats, are a race widely spread throughout India. The principal branches were formerly settled in the west of Malwa, Rajputana, and Guzerat. The Jharejas of Cutch pretend to be of Yadava origin ; so do the Jats of Bhurtpore; and even the Hindu Rajas of Mysore claim to spring from this race. 8 Rama is here intended for Balarama. to 1 Asuras, the same as Daityas or Titans, enemies of the Suras or gods. 2 Siddhas. These are celestial beings, who are said to people the atmospheric regions beyond the orbit of the sun. 3 Salwa, the name of a king as well as of a country, somewhere in the west of India. Salya is king of the Madras, a people of the Punjab, whose capital was Sakala, the San- gala apparently destroyed by Alexander. He is one of the principal leaders and warriors of the party of Duryodhana. 4 Draunayani, the son of Drona, the patronymic of Aswatthaman, of whom mention has already been made. ■» 5 Kratha, Sunitha, and Yalrra, are names of princes of whom nothing particular is known. 6 Banga applies not to Bengal in the modern acceptation, but to the districts north of the Bhagirathi — Jessore, Krishnagur, &c. 7 Pandya is a part of the south of the peninsula of which Madura was the capital. It was a state of great political power for some centuries before, and after the Christian sera. It was well known to the Romans, as the kingdom of King Pandion, who is said to have sent ambassadors, on two different occasions, to Augustus Caesar. It seems to have sunk into insignificance under the ascendancy of the Chola Rajas, about the 7th or 8th century. 8 "Videha is the modern province of Tirhut. 9 The King of the Yavanas, or Greeks, is not so impossible a competitor at Draupadi's Swayamvara as might be supposed ; at least, according to the notions of the author of the Mahabharata, to whom the Greeks of Bactria, and the provinces bordering on the Indus, were ■^ gb ^j^^far; ^f^^THi^MM^Lil^T wrfw: ""HfspF^rr: llb^ll wfwprn ^tTT?%^T fM^qwrcrr vrgn ^^t: lib? *FT§TT <* ii rRT ^ITO TRT S Wlgl^frsrfHRT^ II S3 II fT^n^nrro^ *im*iw j i*w4^ 11 e? ii FOURTH SECTION. ^H*nJr! ^RVtlf^t ^\ II W II /* fMfe**!H FIRST SECTION. <*|kfti HTjT^T f^Tf^ ^TT-T^r: || c) || H^KUI "Sfffw^ «hV^'K *!*WH: l W^<*l«K«UHI ^RTUft: ^MNrii: ll * II Ijrpn M^M^|V(| *l«ll uv^mIm: ^nr^rertt TmjiN^^T ^fsif^ i j» II ^ ^tt w uro n* urorfs ^ #i: i ^m i fl ttto^t ^ftrnj ^wi^tst^ h bb 11 $M FOURTH SECTION. *r§tt: ^lyri^i: ^Rn^i ifj^ ^tot: sff m ^tj: 11 II *r: hm*$h firW ^tt Uf[ ^f^thm^n^ fan i ^fW *t ufrMlfcl chi^cf, *r)®l)U|| ''flri^'ftl ^WT: II <$ll W ^H£ II f^ Tlrf^ft r* xrfrTtTT VWT ftt % ^ ^rfw ^^R#T I Bfif^Rt xn^: ^ffaf %: JTOTftTrTT |N$ TR^t II qoo II ^t ^s^ nmiftfafrer ^rf^tf^i mkk ^%^^ftr^^^^^^^^i:^n^^TR'iin^ii Urf Hw#rf^ B^r srt: «*«*i «i nil- *qprrPir ii 8 n MM^i i vi HhrnTf^^Fw ii 11 W^T W^% rrft*^<*l«*T% wg&*i II ste II KfrWMR ^ftrfl TTFRTCFrT^T **RW II Mo II i%^ ^qrrf ^rr ^fer^T^t tt^rt h w ii ^shUl fr refaw ^TCTf VWW«t II M* II 1 Prajdpati, in this verse, means Vishnu, as identified with the Supreme Being ; who, as Brahma, creates all things ; as Vishnu, in a bodily form — that is, as Krishna or some other of his Avatdras — preserves all things, and, in the character of Rudra (or Siva), is the author of their dissolution. These are the three avasihds or hypostases of the Supreme. Of the avatdras, literally 'descents' of Vishnu, some of the principal are presently described in the text. 2 The descent of Vishnu as a Boar, is the third of his avatdras. The two preceding are the Tortoise, in which form he upheld the mountain Mandara, when the ocean was churned with it by the gods and demons, to obtain amrita, the beverage of immortality ; and the Fish, in which he preserved a pious monarch and the Rishis from perishing at a deluge. The descriptions of the boar confound two very different things, a real and an allegorical animal : the bulk, the tusks, the colour, the roar, belong to the former ; the eloquence, the scriptural knowledge, belong to the latter, as does the epithet Yajna-vardha, ' the boar of sacrifice ' ; intimating, no doubt, a victim : the purport of the allegory being this : The world ^SRt^Hpclirifl^lilrf ^rRt^^PR[ II M$ II 4^IHlflMlHHfa ^ft^faRTOfWT II q8 II <|WW %f*T # ^T ^f^Rffar II MM II Tffa ^RTfCTJft rT^FTTfarT: I ^PT^T-frT^f^f^TtTT^IlH: H M§r " ViMWiftjjW ^TftP^P^T: a M$ 11 ^tmr^R: w^t ffwpfffog^r ii Mb ii TTT^ ^TT ^TftfT: W^ II ^o H g^t *W* ^sfNT^: W^faffrTTO ^ II Stf II world was suffering the punishment of its wickedness, but atonement was made for its crimes by religious sacrifices and prayer. 1 Kasyapa, one of the Prajdpalis, espoused thirteen of the daughters of another patriarch, Daksha, and begot most living creatures, animals, birds, reptiles, as well as gods, demigods, Titans, and men.
