[Footnote 6:  The exact position of Kapilavastu, the capital of the C[=a]kyas, is not known, although it must have been near to the position assigned to it on Kiepert’s map of India (just north of Gorakhpur).  The town is unknown in Brahmanic literature.]

[Footnote 7:  This is Oldenberg’s opinion, for the reason here stated.  On the other hand it may be questioned whether this negative evidence be conclusive, and whether it be not more probable that a young nobleman would have been well educated.]

[Footnote 8:  Siddhartha, the boy, Gautama by his family cognomen, the C[=a]kya-son by his clan-name, was known also as the C[=a]kya-sage, the hermit, Samana (Crama[n.]a); the venerable, Arhat (a general title of perfected saints); Tath[=a]gata ‘who is arrived like’ (the preceding Buddhas, at perfection); and also by many other names common to other sects, Buddha, Jina, The Blessed One (Bhagavat), The Great Hero, etc.  The Buddhist disciple may be a layman, cravaka; a monk, bhikshu; a perfected saint, arhat; a saintly doctor of the law, bodhisattva; etc.]
