Note 41 — CHAPTER 7
Reading edition
To me it appears that there were four distinguished Buddhas or wise men, teachers of monotheism in India, which they brought from Central Asia, with their science and its written character, the arrow or nail-headed, which I have discovered wherever they have been,—in the deserts of Jaisalmer, in the heart of Rajasthan, and the shores of Saurashtra; which were their nurseries.
The first Budha is the parent of the Lunar race, A.C. 2250.
The second (twenty-second of the Jains), Nemnath, A.C. 1120.
The third (twenty-third do. ), Parsawanath, A.C. 650.
The fourth (twenty-fourth do. ), Mahivira, A.C. 533.
[The author confuses Budha, Mercury, with Buddha, the Teacher, and mixes up Buddhists with Jains.]
