Note 40 — ESSAYS.

This demon, with his huge tusks and his large tongue, might be taken for the Hindoo demon that is to destroy all mankind at the end of the world, according to some. Several plates of this destroyer, who is sometimes to be identified with Siva, sometimes with Kali, are to be seen in Moore’s Hindoo Pantheon. The resemblance between the two monsters is very remarkable.
