Chapter I
v1.c11.1
*Page 27.*—God, according to Praśastapāda, is the creator of the universe. See *Padārthadharmasaṃgraha*, p. 48.
v1.c11.2
*Page 33, n. 1.*—*Bhāmatī*, i. 1. 1.
v1.c11.3
*Page 44.*—For the use of the word "darśana" in the sense of "point of view" or "philosophic opinion," see Candrakīrti on Nāgārjuna's *Kārikā* (p. 75 of the St. Petersburg edition), and the quotations from Bhartṛprapañca in the *Ṭīkā* on Sureśvara's *Bṛhadvārttika*, p. 890. See also Jacobi, Introduction to vol. 22 of S.B.E., p. xlv. I owe the reference to Professor Hiriyanna.
v1.c11.4
*Page 48.*—This view is called Śākhācandranyāya.
v1.c11.5
*Page 52.*—"It is not too much to say that in no literature is the moralising note so prominent. It is perhaps just owing to the universality of this mode of expression that there are so few works in Sanskrit dealing with morality exclusively" (Macdonell: *Comparative Religion*, p. 70).
v1.c11.6
*Page 58.*—"Sūtra period" is used here with special reference to the philosophical Sūtras and not the Vedic or Kalpa Sūtras. The period of the latter is said to be 500 B.C. to 200 B.C.
