Note 43 — IV BHĀSA
Reading edition
Of deeper sentiments we need expect nothing from Bhāsa; in this respect he sets the model for his successors. From Kālidāsa he differs in being a devotee of Viṣṇu rather than Çiva, but he is equally an admirer of the established Brahminical order. In the Pañcarātra,43 the Pratijñāyaugandharāyaṇa,44 and in the character of Nārada in the Avimāraka,45 we find clearly expressed his appreciation of the high rank of the Brahmin, and the obligations due to him from kings and other classes.
