In his article on The Nārāyaṇīya and the Bhāgavatas published in the Indian Antiquary, September, 1908, Grierson put forward a somewhat remarkable hypothesis (pp. 253–4) of the solar origin of Bhāgavatism. The view does not appear to have attracted much notice from scholars competent to pronounce an opinion on the subject; but it has neither been directly approved nor directly discredited.Since the theory has been repeated by Grierson in his article on Bhakti-mārga in Hastings’ Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics ii, p. 540, where he practically reproduces his previous statements and arguments, a few remarks on the question may be offered.
