The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v2.c35.5

v2.c35.5

³ Roth, *ZDMG.* ix. 471; Hopkins, *Rel. of India*, pp. 271 ff.; Caland, *Todtengebräuche*, pp. 93-5; *PGS.* iii. 10. 5. The placing of the funeral pyre on a ship (as in Teutonic usage) is not proved for India; the passage cited by Zimmer (*Altindisches Leben*, p. 410) from RV. x. 135 does not naturally bear this sense; Oldenberg, *Ṛgveda-Noten*, ii. 351.
