[On p. 566 ante reference was made to the two kalās or schools of the Viśiṣtâdvaita Vaiṣṇavas—the Teṅgalai and the Vaḍagali. The points of difference in their doctrines are of considerable importance for the study of religion in India, and I have much pleasure in forwarding to the Royal Asiatic Society the enclosed communication from Swārī Gōvindâcārya, himself a follower of the Tengali belief. It may be noted that while each school has numerous adherents in Southern India, the great majority of Vaiṣṇavas of Northern India trace their spiritual descent from Rāmânanda, and profess doctrines akin to those of the Vaḍagalai.—G. A. G.]
