[^1): Translated by Mrs. *Rhys Davids*, Psalms of the Sisters, p. 152. [^2): When in the Christian legends St. Lucia and St. Bridget pluck out both their eyes because the young men fell in love with them on account of their beauty, it may quite well be mere chance coincidence. One need only think of St. Matth. 18, 9, to see that Buddhist influence can scarcely be assumed, as is the view of E. *Müller* (AR. III, 1900, p. 233). *Cf.* C. H. *Tawney*, Kathāsaritsāgara Transl., I, p. 248 note ; R. *Garbe*, Indien und das Christentum, p. 116 ; E. W. *Burlingame*, Buddhist Parables, New Haven 1922, p. 325 ff.; and *H. Günter*, Buddha in der abendländischen Legende? Leipzig 1922, p. 220 f.
