Extract its root; it is two. Subtract this from the moiety of the roots, which is five; the remainder is three. This is the root of the square which you required, and the square is nine. Or you may add the root to the moiety of the roots; the sum is seven; this is the root of the square which you sought for, and the...

In the application of them, when understood, he discovers many seeming contradictions, and with every exertion of practised memory, he must experience the utmost difficulty in combining rules dispersed in apparent confusion through different portions of Panini's eight -^Lectures The apparent simplicity of the design...
62 페이지 - In this singular poem, rhyme and alliteration are combined in the termination of the verses : for [75] the three or four last syllables of each hemistich within the stanza are the same in sound though different in sense. It is a series of puns on a pathetic subject.

As the subject is heroic, and even the unity of action well preserved, and the style of the composition elevated, this poem is entitled to the name of epic. But the Indian taste for descriptive poetry, and particularly for licentious description, has disfigured even this work, which is otherwise not undeserving of its high reputation.
269 페이지 - Jaina, rather than that there have been none. Gautama's followers constitute the sect of Buddha, with tenets in many respects analogous to those of the Jainas, or followers of Sudharma, but with a mythology or fabulous history of deified saints quite different. Both have adopted the Hindu Pantheon, or assemblage of subordinate deities ; both disclaim the authority of the Vedas ; and both elevate their pre-eminent saints to divine supremacy.
202 페이지 - Sakambhari, most eminent of the tribe which sprang from the arms (of Brahma), now addresses his own descendants : By us the region of the earth between Himavat and Vindhya has been made tributary ; let not your minds be void of exertion to subdue the remainder. Tears are evident in the eyes of thy enemy's consort ; blades of grass are perceived between thy adversaries...
168 페이지 - I have, on a former occasion (says he), indicated the notions which I entertain on this point. According to the hypothesis which I then hinted, the earliest Indian sect, of which we have any present distinct knowledge, is that of the followers of the practical Vedas, who worshipped the sun, fire, and the elements ; and who believed the efficacy of sacrifices, for the accomplishment of present and of future purposes.
