a hundred thousand of yojanas to a mountain without human beings, there he threw down the bough and ate the tortoise and the elephant. Then he again rose on his wings: I, 29, 1375; 30, 1384, 1390, 1400, 1407, 1413.—§ 44 (do.): Omens foreboding fear began to appear among the gods. Bṛhaspati declared that it was owing to the fault of Indra and the ascetic penances of the Vālakhilyas (cf. § 45) that G. now approached to take away the soma. Indra then caused the gods to surround and watch the amṛta (I, 30).—§ 45 (Vālakhilya, pl.): I, 31, 1436, 1469, 1470 (by the penances of the Vālakhilyas G. had been born as the lord of winged creatures (*patatriṇām indraḥ*, v. 1455)).—§ 46 (Āstīkap.): G. attacked the gods, whom he blinded with dust, and Bhaumana lay as dead on the field. Indra caused Vāyu to dispel the dust. The Sādhyas and the Gandharvas fled eastwards, the Vasus and the Rudras towards the south, the Ādityas towards the west, and the Aṣvins towards the north. G. then slew nine Yakṣas, Aṣvakranda, etc. (a), who guarded the amṛta. The amṛta on all sides was surrounded with fire. G. then divided his mouth into 8100 mouths, and taking water from many rivers he extinguished the fire. Theo he assumed a diminutive body (I, 32), and passed through the spokes of the revolving keen-edged wheel of steel placed before the soma. Then there were two great snakes, who would reduce to ashes everyone who might be seen by them. G.

covered their eyes with dust, and unseen by them mangled them to pieces. He then flew away with the amṛta, not drinking it himself. He met with Viṣṇu nn his way and they agreed that G. should stay above Viṣṇu, sitting nn the flagstaff of his chariot and be his vehicle, and be immortal and free from disease without drinking amṛta. While G. was flying Indra hurled his thunderbolt at him. G. did not feel the slightest pain, but in honour of Dadhīca and Indra and the thunderbolt G. dropped a feather, and from its beauty he gained the name Suparṇa (I, 33). Indra and G. made friendship with each other, aud agreed that G. should not give the soma to anyone for drink. Indra should bring it away after it had been put down by G., and G. should feed on the snakes. The snakes declared Vinatā to be free; G. placed down the soma on some kuça grass, and while the snakes were performing their ablutions, their daily devotions, and other religious rites, Indra took up the amṛta and returned to heaven. When the snakes licked the kuça grass their tongues were divided in twain, and the kuça grass, from the contact with the amṛta, became sacred from this time (I, 34): I, 32, 1471 (*pakṣirāt*), 1477, 1485, 1494; 33, 1509, 1513;
