¹ How incorrect do these words of Oldenberg seem to be in the light of our findings : “Without a past living in their memory, without a present which they might utilise in love and hate, without a future for which men might hope and work, they dreamed morbid and proud dreams of that which is beyond all times and of the peculiar government which is within these everlasting realms... The Indian has above all at an early stage, turned aside from that which chiefly preserves a people young and struggle for home, country and laws.” Buddha, pp. 3, 12.
