He is also a lord of the bays, who dwells in the waters, and his identity with the Gandharva is clearly undeniable. The further comparison of Kentauros¹⁰ is certainly untenable phonetically, unless it be assumed that both are loan words, and is open to the gravest objections on the grounds of the nature of the two conceptions: the few points of similarity cannot be traced in the Rigvedic conception at all. - [Previous: v1.c19.s2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v1.c19.s2.23) - [Next: v1.c19.s2.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v1.c19.s2.25) - [Up: v1.c19.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v1.c19.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v1.c19.s2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.keith-1925.v1.c19.s2.24) · Pramāṇa
