dia-will be thrown simultaneously in
10 swoon lasting an hour and half.
Ii Is the tenth Incarnation OF the god
Nishnu that Is looked for. and this to
the Hindoo means the end OF all things
earthly, just rs to the Christian means
the Judgment and destruction of the
world.
Nishnu has come on earth nine times
In as many different forms. This time
he is TO appear In the heavens mount
ed on white horse. brandishing n
flaming sword resembling comet.
Women OF all castles are expected &c
swoon-all the women in India, save
those who have forfeited their rights
by trafiicking with the unclean.
Vishnu Is the second god OF the Hin
doc trinity and TO all lntents and pur-
poses the supreme god OF the Pan
theon. In the great Sanskrit epic, the
Ramayana. he Is treated as the ruler
OF all things. He made heaven and

Sometimes he has been n wonderful

There are other versions OF his ap-
pearances on earth which vary widely
from this. Some Hindoo theologIans
ascribe rs many as 30 avatars TO the
