¹ A. *Ludwig*, Der Rigveda III, Prag 1878, pp. 183 ff. and R. G. *Bhandarkar*, Report, 1883-84, p. 39, have already pointed out the chronological significance of the Kṛttikās heading the list of the Nakṣatras in the Brāhmaṇas. But Bhandarkar places the Brāhmaṇas between 1200 and 900 B.C. Violent discussions were aroused by H. *Jacobi's* papers in "Festgruss an Rudolf von Roth," Stuttgart, 1893, pp. 68-73, in NGGW, 1894, pp. 105-116, and in OC X, Geneva 1894, I, pp. 103-108, and the book of B. G. *Tilak*, The Orion or Researches into the Antiquity of the Vedas, Bombay 1893. Cf. G Bühler, Ind. Ant. 23, 1894, pp. 238 ff.; W. D. Whitney in JAOS Proceedings, March 1894 (reprinted Ind.
