1933

Man learnt to rise above his brutal instincts first in the family under the power of the patriarch later in the village under the rule of the headman and again in the society under the bonds of customs and laws. [...] We all admit that the Foulah and the Kaffir are superior to the Negro of the coast of Guinea ; nor do we deny that the Turcoman and the Finn stand higher in the ethnic scale than the Samoycde and the Lapp. [...] 62 Rgveda X. 90 121 rte."11 making his appearance in the form of the Sun in the heavens of the lightning in the atmosphere and of fire on the earth was soon considered to be the mouth or representative of all the gods. [...] The care taken to preserve the sacred text from corruption led to the development of grammar and philology while the deep questions with regard to the universe and man's place in it which were already being referred to in the salphitle of the Vedas and discussed more fully in the Aranyakas and Upanishads led to the formation of elaborate philosophical systems and the study of logic. [...] Absence of discrepancy (avipratipatti) in the perception of sound touch colour flavour and scent by means of the ear the eyes the tongue and the nose is what is meant by the restraint of the organs of the sense.
