¹ A late Vālmīki perhaps composed the Rāmāyaṇa, and then was identified with the Vālmīki of Rāma’s time. ² Rām vii, 93, 16, 18 ; 94, 25. Mat 12, 51. Pad v, 8, 155. MBh xii, 57, 2086. ³ MBh i, 53, 2045, 2049 : xiii, 40, 2262, 2268, 2300. ⁴ Ṛṣy-antareṣu vai bāhyā bahavo Bhārgavāḥ smṛtāḥ. The words vai bāhyāḥ might be also read as vaivāhyāḥ, and the meaning would also be true but jejune. So the Mat account notices certain gotras as parasparam avaivāhya (195, 32, 36, 40, 42, 45). ⁵ Mat 195, 22–3, 33, 38, 40, 42. ⁶ Vā corrupts the names. ⁷ Mat 195, 17, 18, 30, 34–6, 40. ⁸ Vā 59, 96–7. Bḍ ii, 32, 104–6. Mat 145, 98–100. These reckon him as two persons. ⁹ Mentioned, Bḍ ii, 33, 15. ¹⁰ Called Bhārgava, MBh iii, 183, 12617 ; 188, 12902 ; 190, 13010 : &c. Born in Bhṛgu’s line, Var 15, 4. Pad v, 28 professes to give the origin of Mārkaṇḍeya. ¹¹ Mat 195, 20. ¹² Mentioned, Pad v, 28, 61 ; 29, 19. Not in Vedic Index. ¹³ Mat 103, 13–15. Pad i, 40, 15, 27–34.
