FOOTNOTES

1 The MSS. vary very considerably in these stanzas of invocation: many
lines are generally prefixed in which not only the poet, but those
who play the chief parts in the poem are panegyrized. It is
self-apparent that they are not by the author of the Rámáyan
himself.
2 “Válmíki was the son of Varuṇa, the regent of the waters, one of
whose names is Prachetas. According to the _Adhyátmá Rámáyaṇa_, the
sage, although a Bráhman by birth, associated with foresters and
robbers. Attacking on one occasion the seven Rishis, they
expostulated with him successfully, and taught him the _mantra_ of
Ráma reversed, or _Mará, Mará_, in the inaudible repetition of which
he remained immovable for thousands of years, so that when the sages
returned to the same spot they found him still there, converted into
a _valmík_ or ant-hill, by the nests of the termites, whence his
name of Válmíki.”
WILSON. _Specimens of the Hindu Theatre, Vol. I. p. 313_.
“Válmíki is said to have lived a solitary life in the woods: he is
called both a _muni_ and a _rishi_. The former word properly
signifies an anchorite or hermit; the latter has reference chiefly
to wisdom. The two words are frequently used promiscuously, and may
both be rendered by the Latin _vates_ in its earliest meaning of
_seer_: Válmíki was both poet and seer, as he is said to have sung
the exploits of Ráma by the aid of divining insight rather than of
knowledge naturally acquired.” SCHLEGEL.
3 Literally, _Kokila_, the Koïl, or Indian Cuckoo. Schlegel translates
“luscinium.”
4 Comparison with the Ganges is implied, that river being called the
purifier of the world.
5 “This name may have been given to the father of Válmíki
allegorically. If we look at the derivation of the word (_pra_,
before, and _chetas_, mind) it is as if the poet were called the son
of Prometheus, the Forethinker.” SCHLEGEL.
6 Called in Sanskrit also _Bála-Káṇḍa_, and in Hindí _Bál-Káṇḍ_,
_i.e._ the Book describing Ráma’s childhood, _bála_ meaning a boy up
to his sixteenth year.
7 A divine saint, son of Brahmá. He is the eloquent messenger of the
Gods, a musician of exquisite skill, and the inventor of the _víṇá_
or Indian lute. He bears a strong resemblance to Hermes or Mercury.
8 This mystic syllable, said to typify the supreme Deity, the Gods
collectively, the Vedas, the three spheres of the world, the three
holy fires, the three steps of Vishṇu etc., prefaces the prayers and
most venerated writings of the Hindus.
9 This colloquy is supposed to have taken place about sixteen years
after Ráma’s return from his wanderings and occupation of his
ancestral throne.
10 Called also Śrí and Lakshmí, the consort of Vishṇu, the Queen of
Beauty as well as the Dea Fortuna. Her birth “from the full-flushed
wave” is described in Canto XLV of this Book.
11 One of the most prominent objects of worship in the Rig-veda, Indra
was superseded in later times by the more popular deities Vishṇu and
Śiva. He is the God of the firmament, and answers in many respects
to the Jupiter Pluvius of the Romans. See _Additional Notes_.
12 The second God of the Trimúrti or Indian Trinity. Derived from the
root _viś_ to penetrate, the meaning of the name appears to be _he
who penetrates or pervades all things_. An embodiment of the
preserving power of nature, he is worshipped as a Saviour who has
nine times been incarnate for the good of the world and will descend
on earth once more. See _Additional Notes_ and Muir’s Sanskrit Texts
_passim_.
13 In Sanskrit _devarshi_. Rishi is the general appellation of sages,
and another word is frequently prefixed to distinguish the degrees.
A _Brahmarshi_ is a theologian or Bráhmanical sage; a Rájarshi is a
royal sage or sainted king; a _Devarshi_ is a divine or deified sage
or saint.
_ 14 Trikálajǹa_. Literally _knower of the three times_. Both Schlegel
and Gorresio quote Homer’s.
Ὅς ἤδη τ’ ἐόντα, τά τ’ ἐσσόμενα,
πρό τ’ ἐόντα.
“That sacred seer, whose comprehensive view,
The past, the present, and the future knew.”
The Bombay edition reads _trilokajǹa,_ _who knows the three worlds_
(earth, air and heaven.) “It is by _tapas_ (austere fervour) that
rishis of subdued souls, subsisting on roots, fruits and air, obtain
a vision of the three worlds with all things moving and stationary.”
MANU, XI. 236.
15 Son of Manu, the first king of Kośala and founder of the solar
dynasty or family of the Children of the Sun, the God of that
luminary being the father of Manu.
16 The Indians paid great attention to the art of physiognomy and
believed that character and fortune could be foretold not from the
face only but from marks upon the neck and hands. Three lines under
the chin like those at the mouth of a conch (_Śańkha_) were regarded
as a peculiarly auspicious sign indicating, as did also the mark of
Vishṇu’s discus on the hand, one born to be a _chakravartin_ or
universal emperor. In the palmistry of Europe the line of fortune,
as well as the line of life, is in the hand. Cardan says that marks
on the nails and teeth also show what is to happen to us: “Sunt
etiam in nobis vestigia quædam futurorum eventuum in unguibus atque
etiam in dentibus.” Though the palmy days of Indian chiromancy have
passed away, the art is still to some extent studied and believed
in.
17 Long arms were regarded as a sign of heroic strength.
18 “Veda means originally knowing or knowledge, and this name is given
by the Bráhmans not to one work, but to the whole body of their most
ancient sacred literature. Veda is the same word which appears in
the Greek οίδα, I know, and in the English wise, wisdom, to wit. The
name of Veda is commonly given to four collections of hymns, which
are respectively known by the names of Rig-veda, Yajur-veda,
Sáma-veda, and Atharva-veda.”
“As the language of the Veda, the Sanskrit, is the most ancient type
