Notes in this chapter

Note 1 · The existence of this type in the Epic is certainly most improbable, and in the Jātakas it is not frequent; cf. Charpentier, Die SuparṇasageNote 2 · The Prākritic form of the term as opposed to Vedic nṛtu and nṛtta is legitimate evidence for the development of pantomimic dancing in circleNote 3 · SBAW. 1916, p. 736.
