[Footnote 739:  See Max Mueller’s Ramakrishna, p. 40, for another instance.]

[Footnote 740:  In a passage of the Mahaparinib.  Sut. (III. 22) which is probably not very early the Buddha says that when he mixes with gods or men he takes the shape of his auditors, so that they do not know him.]

[Footnote 741:  Sam.  Nik.  II. 3. 10.  Sadevakassa lokassa aggo.]

[Footnote 742:  E.g. in the Lotus Sutra.]

[Footnote 743:  One hundred and eight marks on the sole of each foot are also enumerated in later writings.]

[Footnote 744:  Artaxerxes Longimanus.  Cf. the Russian princely name Dolgorouki.  The Chinese also attribute forty-nine physical signs of perfection to Confucius, including long arms.  See Dore, Recherches sur les Superstitions en Chine, vol.  XIII. pp. 2-6.]

[Footnote 745:  Though Brahmans are represented as experts in these marks, it seems likely that the idea of the Mahapurusha was popular chiefly among the Kshatriyas, for in one form, at any rate, it teaches that a child of the warrior caste born with certain marks will become either a universal monarch or a great teacher of the truth.  This notion must have been most distasteful to the priestly caste.]

[Footnote 746:  See Dig.  Nik. 3.  The Lakkhana Suttanta (Dig.  Nik. 30) contains a discussion of the marks.]

[Footnote 747:  See Dik.  Nig. 14, Mahapadanasutta:  Therag. 490; Sam.  Nik.  XII. 4-10.]

[Footnote 748:  Maj.  Nik. 50, Maratajjaniyasuttam.]

[Footnote 749:  Dig.  Nik. 14.]

[Footnote 750:  Maj.  Nik. 123.  See also Dig.  Nik. 14.]

[Footnote 751:  More literally that he knows exactly how his feelings, etc., arise, continue and pass away and is not swayed by wandering thoughts and desires.]

[Footnote 752:  Three extra Buddhas are sometimes mentioned but are usually ignored because they did not, like the others, come into contact with Gotama in his previous births.]

[Footnote 753:  E.g.  Ang.  Nik.  III. 15 and the Maha-Sudassana Sutta (Dig.  Nik.  X.) in which the Buddha says he has been buried at Kusinara no less than six times.]

[Footnote 754:  Dig.  Nik.  XVI. v. 15.]

[Footnote 755:  The two kinds of Buddhas are defined in the Puggala-Pannatti, IX. 1.  For details about Pratyeka-Buddhas see De La Vallee Poussin’s article in E.R.E.]

[Footnote 756:  Thus in Dig.  Nik.  XVI. 5. 12 they are declared worthy of a Dagaba or funeral monument and Sam.  Nik.  III. 2. 10 declares the efficacy of alms given to them.]
