To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Besides the original Veds, there are four Uim Veds or sub-scriptm-es, said to have been delivered b}^ Brahma, the first person in the Hindu Triad. These form the second class of the four great Shasters. The Vecl Angas, consisting of six books, profess to teach the leading principles of science, and to be of the same divine origin. These occupy the third rank. The four Up Angas form the fourth and last division of the great Shasters. These are said to be written by the sages Vyasa, Yalmyka, Manu..., and others, and are more voluminous than any of the foregoing. The first divi- sion of these Up Angas includes the eighteen Puranas, the Ramayan, and the Mahabarat, (the Bhagavad Geta forming a part of the latter. ) The second and third divisions of the Up Angas treat generally on metaphy- sical subjects; and the fourth and last division of eigh- 78 MISSIONS IN HINDUSTAN. teen books includes the statutes of Manii on all points of Hindu law, political and religious. The mind can scarcely grasp the size and number of these sacred books, the half of which no man could possibly read in a whole lifetime.
