Afterwards I saw to my satisfaction that other investigators had long ago uttered such views. Thus Winternitz leans towards the view that the Pāṇḍavas were a “non-Aryan mountain tribe” (WZKM, xiv, 71). So Hopkins, \*The Great Epic\*, pp. 376, 400. On the other hand I do not believe that from the passages brought forward by Winternitz and others polyandry for India can really be deduced. Cp. also Jacobi, \*Göttinger Gel.
