⁴ Mahratta MSS. It is proper to mention that among Mahratta Bramins, Bhutt and Grehust, in speaking of their own cast, are nearly synonymous with clerical and secular. Custom has introduced this distinction. Bhutt, however, in the text was merely the surname of Ballajee Wishwanath, not a religious appellation.
