page 125 note 1 This is a very loose translation of yōga-yukta. Mr. Hill, objecting to rigidly uniform translation of technical terms, frequently errs on the other side and renders them by words that convey little of their special meaning.

page 129 note 1 Kṛṣṇa is styled Viṣṇu in xi, 24, 30, and the equivalent Hari, xi, 9, xviii, 77, passages where the supreme nature of the deity is strongly stressed. Mr. Hill's attempts to dodge the consequences of these facts on p. 25 are unintelligible to me.

The same idea, transfigured by devotional feeling, is expressed in the carama ślōka, xviii, 66, “surrendering all duties [i.e. devoting to God the performance of all duties prescribed for man, and renouncing all claim to reward for performing them], come to me alone for protection,” etc.
