^{page 1078 note 2} A footnote on p. 8 of the introduction tells us that they differ as to the Sūta's name. A Sūta was a charioteer, and, as serving a king, he had also to act as herald or bard: it was his duty to proclaim the heroic actions of the king and his ancestors while he drove his chariot to battle, as well as on state occasions, and he had therefore to know by heart portions of the epics and ancient ballads: see Monier-Williams' Sanskṛit Dictionary under sūta.

^{page 1082 note 2} When I said, in a place referred to by MrPargiter, (introd., p. 15, note 2)Google Scholar, that this reckoning is traced back, as an astrological detail, to the sixth century, I was giving what had to be a very much condensed account of the reckoning, and my reference was to the treatment of it by Varāhamihira (died a.d. 587). He had it, as he tells us, from Vṛiddha-Garga, regarding whose date we know nothing definite, except that he must presumably have been earlier than Garga (about a.d. 400). As far as I can see at present, there is no objection to holding that the reckoning may have existed about a.d. 250. But it is another question whether this Purāṇic passage about it dates, like the rest of the text, from that time.

^{page 1083 note 2} At the bottom of Andhrāṇzāntē, instead of the correct Sanskrit Andhrāṇām = antē which did not suit the metre, we have Andhrāna antē, one of the instructive Prākṛit forms commented on by MrPargiter, (p. 79)Google Scholar. I base my reading tathā on the tvayā which is found in the Vāyu generally.
