Cf. Weber, Indische Studien, 9, 257, 277, 278, and Aitareya Brāhmaṇa, iii. 44. Almost all that can be said of the Brahmins is collected in Weber's Indische Studien, 10, 40-158. Cf. also Ludwig, Translation of the Rigveda, 3, 220-226; Fick, Die sociale Gliederung (for Buddhist times; the evidence is, however, of uncertain, and much of it probably of late, date); Hopkins, Journal of the American Oriental Society, 13, 82, 182, etc. (for notices of the Brahmins in the Epic); The Mutual Relations of the Four Castes according to the Mānavadharmaçāstram (for the Dharma view). Muir, Sanskrit Texts, 1², 248 et seq., discusses the priesthood in the Rigveda, and Zimmer, Altindisches Leben, 197-212, gives an excellent summary of the facts. - [Previous: v2.c4.s2.473](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.473) - [Next: v2.c4.s2.475](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.475) - [Up: v2.c4.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.474](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s2.474) · Pramāṇa
