“It is well kuown that not only Indian life with all its social and political institutions has been at all times under the mighty sway of religion, but that we are also led back to religious belief and worship when we try to account for the origin of research in those departments of knowledge which the Indians have cultivated with such remarkable success. At first sight, few traces of this origin may be visible in the Śāstras of the later times, but looking closer we may always discern the connecting thread.”—“Journ. As. Soc.” (1875) Vol. XLIV. part 1. p. 227.
