Hindoo Tales Part 20

[Footnote 7: The author has here made a mistake which cannot be explained. In the introductory chapter Pramati is the son of Sumati, and there is nowhere mention of a second son of Kamapala. The confusion of names is, however, of little importance, since the adventures of Arthapala and Pramati are quite distinct.]

[Footnote 8: Increaser of virtue.]

[Footnote 9: It was considered a very great sin to be, even indirectly, the cause of the death of a brahman.]

[Footnote 10: An evil spirit, the ghoul of the "Arabian Nights," the readers of which will remember the story of Amina, who goes out at night to feast on dead bodies.]

[Footnote 11: The inhabitant of Vindhya.]

[Footnote 12: Resembling tendrils.]
