^{page 356 note 1} In my footnote which gave the cause for his paper (this Journal, 1915, p. 218, note 4), in speaking of “the Brāhmaṇical books” I should perhaps have said clearly that I meant books and passages dealing with astronomy, time, the calendar, and such matters: however, the discussion to which my words have led is by no means to be regretted. I am much obliged to Professor Keith for pointing out my slip of naktaṁdivasam for naktaṁdivam: I ought to have detected it in reading the proofs. I retain my opinion that this term and rātriṁdivam are due to euphonic considerations.

^{page 357 note 1} I regard the instances in the Divyāvadāna of the expression “night-and-day”, which I quoted, as quite incidental ones, due to the writer liking to vary his style and words here and there.

^{page 358 note 1} That is, of course, according to the amānta month, the month ending with the new-moon, which is the only one that is recognized in the Hindū astronomy and in passages, such as the present one, dealing with the details of time.

^{page 361 note 3} For Dawn and Night as sisters, daughters of Heaven (div), see, e.g., RV, 5. 41. 7; 10. 70. 6. The Vedic poets do not seem to have personified the daytime exactly as they did the night: but, while their Dawn sometimes means absolutely the dawn, in such passages as this one it clearly stands for the daytime. It may be noted that though the expression nakt-ōshāsā, “Night and Dawn”, is found sometimes, the more usual one is ushāsā-naktā, “Dawn and Night”, as in the two passages mentioned just above; see Macdonell, , Vedic Mythology, p. 126.Google Scholar
