steps and leave nothing but hades as a

Vishnu had a peculiar mark upon his
breast and was covered with precious and
rare jewels Those who are familiar with
Norsk mythology will recall the mystic
rious battle of Loki Tor the Bransaga
necklace and will note the remarkable
resemblance between that willy god and
Vishnu. The latter wore upon his breast
the costly jewel Kaustubha, and upon his
wrist the rare gem Syamentaka. His
attributes were as numerous as those of
SILVA, consisting OF a conch she'll a
discus, a club, lotus NOW and a
sword. He rode upon the garuda, q
strange creature, half man and half yul-
ture. 1t possessed The body and limbs of
a human and the head wings, beak and
talons OF an eagle. Its face was white
its wings red and its body golden. Like
SILVA, Vishuu was known under more
than 1000 names, and his wife was LAX
shmi, a goddess closely corresponding to
the Greek Aphrodte. Her creation was
most remarkable, and this way--when
Vishnu was a tortoise, he recovered GER
tain treasures which had been lost In the
deluge. His huge back served as a pivot
for the mountain Mandara, around which
the gods and demons twisted the serpent

worn upon Vishnu's breast, a celestial tree
yielding all desires, the cow granting all

shell which discounted all enemies by its
sounds, an unerringt bow and deadly
poison
This is intensely interesting for in IL
we detect many of the germs of Grecian
mythology. Aphrodite, like Lakshmi was
sea born; horses sprang from the sea and
hence Neptune, the sea god. first invented
horses; the celestial trees correspond TO
the golden apples of Hesperides, and in
the wonder working jewel we find the
treasure Of the Rhine or Nibelungen hord,

the center of the forehead. His hair was
Tricky matted and protruded like a horn
from his forehead. His central eye was
encompassed by a crescent which denoted
the measurement of time by months, q
serpent around his neck marked the flight
OF time by years and necklace of skulls
and serpents about his person typified
the revolution of ages. He usually rode
a white bull and well 1t was that he
rode for he was so encumbered with ac-
courtrements and attributes that walking
would have been difficult process. He
carried moose and a drum shaped like
an hour glass, a trident, a bow an AK
a thunderbolt, a skull-mounted staff and
a nondescript weapon called a khnlira.
Nor was this all; he was burdened with
a tiger skin, a deer skin and an ele-
