Note 862 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
In an old Brahmanical book called the “Prophecies,” by Ramatsariar, as well as in the Southern MSS. in the legend of Christna, the latter gives nearly word for word the first two chapters of Genesis. He recounts the creation of man—whom he calls Adima, in Sanscrit, the ‘first man’—and the first woman is called Heva, that which completes life. According to Louis Jacolliot (“La Bible dans l’Inde”), Christna existed, and his legend was written, over 3,000 years B. C.
