    THE ORIGINAL human manusyadeva, in India is the priest, or according to some texts, the scholarly priest; for one may be born to the caste and yet, if not initiated into it and later instructed in the sacred learning, one will not be a real priest and not entitled to priestly distinction. But such a restriction as this is ignored in the older Veda, where gods are very simply divided into two classes, invisible and visible, the latter being Brahma…

    Open AccessE Washburn HopkinsARTICLEBulletin of the School of…1931

    According to the description in the Land of the Lamas, the Tibetan salutation consists in sticking out the tongue, pulling the right ear, and rubbing the left hip, while making a slight bow at the same time. Nothing quite so picturesque is to be found in India, a but the etiquette of salutation is nevertheless not without interest. Moreover, the subject is treated gravely by the native law-makers and deserves more attention than it has hitherto r…

  • Words of Defamation in Sanskrit Legal Language

    E Washburn HopkinsARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1925

    GREEK AND GOTHIC WORDS show that Vedic and legal mid, nind, 'revile,' was an Indo-European word and probably indicate a fairly ancient custom.' Some of the oldest pre-legal rules have to do with defamatory expressions. Compare AV. 4, 36, 1, y6 no durasydd dipsdc ca, ' whoso shall abuse or seek to harm us'; TS. 2, 6, 10, 2, brahmataya na 'pagureta na ni hanyat, 'one should not abuse nor injure a Brahmnan'; and the rules against 'rough,' parulsa, l…

  • Priestly Penance and Legal Penalty

    E Washburn HopkinsARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1924

    One should not tax with his crime a man who, in accordance with the codes, has performed purification or has been punished by the king. Here we have an antithesis which characterizes all the Sanskrit books of law, as dharma is loosely translated. Criminal law in particular appears to be a matter adjusted by priestly penance as well as by legal penalty. But to a certain extent there are clear lines of demarcation between the two systems. That the …

  • The Background of Totemism

    E Washburn HopkinsARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1918Cited by: 1

    THE SECRET OF THE TOTEM has been successfully veiled for many years through the ingenious efforts of would-be interpreters, some of whom have even ventured to explain all religion as an outgrowth of totemism. Others, less rash, have been content to find totemism where it never existed. A typical case of invented totemism may be seen in the Hindu deluge-story, where Manu is rescued by a fish and the fish is interpreted as 'probably a totem.' This …

  • Indic and Indian Religious Parallels

    E Washburn HopkinsARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1917

    The word 'Indian' in my title is intended as an equivalent of the uncouth 'Amerindian,' a monstrosity which I find it impossible to pronounce with equanimity. It is not my intention to point out what is common to all or to much of the savage world, such as belief in ghosts, in another world, in the mana of the inanimate, in the Hindu forms of Squantum and Tantum as shared under different names with sundry peoples, but to indicate closer resemblan…
