FOOTNOTES
1 The MSS. vary very considerably in these stanzas of invocation: many
lines are generally prefixed in which not only the poet, but those
who play the chief parts in the poem are panegyrized. It is
self-apparent that they are not by the author of the Rámáyan
himself.
2 “Válmíki was the son of Varuṇa, the regent of the waters, one of
whose names is Prachetas. According to the _Adhyátmá Rámáyaṇa_, the
sage, although a Bráhman by birth, associated with foresters and
robbers. Attacking on one occasion the seven Rishis, they
expostulated with him successfully, and taught him the _mantra_ of
Ráma reversed, or _Mará, Mará_, in the inaudible repetition of which
he remained immovable for thousands of years, so that when the sages
returned to the same spot they found him still there, converted into
a _valmík_ or ant-hill, by the nests of the termites, whence his
name of Válmíki.”
WILSON. _Specimens of the Hindu Theatre, Vol. I. p. 313_.
“Válmíki is said to have lived a solitary life in the woods: he is
called both a _muni_ and a _rishi_. The former word properly
signifies an anchorite or hermit; the latter has reference chiefly
to wisdom. The two words are frequently used promiscuously, and may
both be rendered by the Latin _vates_ in its earliest meaning of
_seer_: Válmíki was both poet and seer, as he is said to have sung
the exploits of Ráma by the aid of divining insight rather than of
knowledge naturally acquired.” SCHLEGEL.
3 Literally, _Kokila_, the Koïl, or Indian Cuckoo. Schlegel translates
“luscinium.”
4 Comparison with the Ganges is implied, that river being called the
purifier of the world.
5 “This name may have been given to the father of Válmíki
allegorically. If we look at the derivation of the word (_pra_,
before, and _chetas_, mind) it is as if the poet were called the son
of Prometheus, the Forethinker.” SCHLEGEL.
6 Called in Sanskrit also _Bála-Káṇḍa_, and in Hindí _Bál-Káṇḍ_,
_i.e._ the Book describing Ráma’s childhood, _bála_ meaning a boy up
to his sixteenth year.
7 A divine saint, son of Brahmá. He is the eloquent messenger of the
