Excerpt from The Orion: Or Researches Into the Antiquity of the Vedas Lastly, I have to express my obligations to several friends for encouraging me to carry on the inquiry and helping me in one way or another to complete this essay. My special thanks are however due to Dr. Rllmkrishna Gephl Bhdnddr kar, who kindly undertook to explain to me the views of German scholars in regard to certain passages from the ltigveda, and to Khan Bahadur Dr. Dastur Hoshang J umnap for the ready assistance he gave in supplying information contained in the original Parsi sacred books. I am also greatly indebted to Prof. Max Muller for some valuable suggestions and critical comments on the etymological evidence contained in the essay. I am, however, alone responsible for all the views, suggestions, and statements made in the following pages.
