dagger † A worshipper of Vásudeva, or of Arjuna, is styled ‘Vásudevaka,’ ‘Árjunaka.’ Or is Arjuna here still a name of Indra? [From the context he is to be understood as a Kshatriya; see on this, *I. St.*, xiii. 349, ff.; *Ind. Antiq.* iv. 246.] [^double-dagger]: ‡ This name only occurs in the Mahá-Bhárata and in the works resting upon it. Yet the Buddhists mention a mountain tribe of Páṇḍavas, as alike the foes of the Śákyas (*i.e.*, the Kośalas) and of the inhabitants of Ujjayiní; see Schiefner, *Leben des Śákyamuni*, pp. 4, 40 (in the latter passage they appear to be connected with Takshaśilá?), and, further, Lassen, *I. AK.*, ii. 100, ff.; Foucaux, *Rgya Cher Rol Pa*, pp. 228, 229 (25, 26).
