III. A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL LIST OF THE MORE IM- PORTANT PUBLICATIONS ON THE RIG- VEDA.
THE following Index of Words was commenced by Professor Thibaut, and continued and finished by Dr. Winternitz. I beg to express my gratitude to both of them, more particularly to Dr. Winternitz, who has spared no pains in order to make the Index as complete and as accurate as possible.—F. M. M.
The Index contains all the words of the hymns translated in this volume, and besides, all the words about which something is said in the Notes.
The lists of passages are complete, except when three dots (.. .) are put after the word (e.g. 44444 .. .).
Three figures refer to Mazdala, hymn, and verse, a small figure to a note, e.g. X, 77, 2', stands for Mandala X, hymn 77, verse 2, note 1 (the word occurs in X, 77, 2, and also in note 1).
If a word occurs in a note only, the passage is put in parentheses, e. g. (V, 61, 41) means that the word occurs in note 1 on V, 61, 4, but not in V, 61, 4.
In the case of longer notes, it seemed advisable to refer to the page. One number refers to the page, e. g. (287) means that the word occurs in a note on page 287.
