83. We need not stay to ask whether the Srimadbhāgavat and other Purānas can be trusted as evidence for the life of Krishna; for all scholars agree that, while ancient Purānas existed, all those that have come down to us reflect a later stage of Hinduism than that of the Mahābhārata; and that, while they contain much that is old scattered up and down their pages, the oldest fragments are of the same general date as the Mahābhārata and Manu.

91. That it was only at a very late date that this identification took place is evident from the fact that it is not once mentioned in the early literature. Even in two of the Vishnu Upanishads of the Atharva Veda, the Atmabodha, and the Nārāyana, Krishna is referred to as a mere man. Apart from the Gītā and the Mahābhārata, the earliest reference to him as God incarnate is in the Gopālatāpanīyopanishad. See Weber, I. L., 169; and cf. Garbe, 18-19, 85; Bose, H. C., Vol. I, 25-26; Dutt, C. A. I., Vol. II, 191.

103. This is Telang’s translation of two very difficult, yet very instructive phrases. In the Gītā the word prakriti is used, first for the primeval matter of the Sānkhya system (III, 27; 29; IX, 8, 10, 12; XIII, 19, 20, 23, 29), and secondly for the primeval matter of personal character, each man’s natural disposition (III, 33; VII, 20; XI, 51; XVIII, 59). There is then a third class of passages in which the word is used in the Sānkhyan sense, but, by the addition of a personal pronoun, prakriti is made to belong to Krishna personally (VII, 4, 5; IX, 7, 13). Here we have one of the devices our author employed to give the great old phrases a vivid personal colouring. Now such a phrase as “my prakriti” is already ambiguous; so we are not surprised to meet with two passages, in which it is impossible to tell whether the meaning is metaphysical or ethical (IV, 6; IX, 8). Probably the author intended to suggest both meanings. Most translators take the meaning to be metaphysical, but Telang may be right in taking it as ethical: Krishna is regarded as the ideal of Action Yoga. For a similar use of the personal pronoun compare sarvakarmāni mayi sannyasya (XVIII, 57) with sarvakarmāni sannyasya of the Paramahansopanishad. Pages 706, 708 and 709 of Jacob’s Concordance to the Principal Upanishads and Bhagavadgītā are peculiarly instructive in this connection.

The number of Bibles, New Testaments and portions sold by the various Bible Societies of Europe and America, in lands outside Europe, amounted in 1901 to 3,286,834. (Centennial Survey of Foreign Missions by the Rev. James S. Dennis, D.D.) These figures do not include the Bibles sold by the ordinary publishers of Christian countries, nor the Bibles sold in Europe by Bible Societies. If it were possible to gather all the statistics, we may be certain the figures would amount up to five or six millions. What a book that must be, which circulates in 454 languages, and is sold at the rate of 5,000,000 copies per annum!
