page 1104 note 3 The argument would be much better if ilāni had appeared once before Mitra-Varuna as a compound. It should be noted that the words for these gods are followed by words of unknown meaning and language. The variant Uru-w-na tells against Aruna as the name of the god referred to, and a Vedic Aruna is not proved.

page 1105 note 2 These can easily be exaggerated. The later Vedic life is really no more than a fulfilment of the earlier, as all recent research more and more strongly shows.

page 1106 note 1 It is hardly necessary to discuss the significance of the Sun-god Šuriaš, of the Kašši, referred to by Professor Jacobi (JRAS., 1909, p. 726, n. 1). No stress can be laid on so isolated a name.Google Scholar
