1. The Motto of the History of Hinduism: Clearly the twothe animals of the
terrain and the animals of the mindare intimately connected, and both are
peoples and colors and the smells of the bazaar and, at the same time,
providing a flattering frame to offset that very chaos. (Page 305)
3. Rape as a Legitimate Form of Marriage: a form of rape that came to be
regarded as a bad, but legitimate, form of marriage: having sex with a
sleeping or drugged woman. It appears that a womans brother too is
someone she might expect to find in her bed, though the Rig Veda severely
condemns sibling incest; it is also possible that the brother in question is her
husbands brother, a person who, as we shall see, can have certain
traditional, though anxiety-producing, connections with his brothers wife.
