[33] - "Won't The Old Bearers Get Something, Your Honour?"

[34] - According to M. Voysey, in his Asiatic Researches, "A single flower in the screen contains a hundred stones, each

Cut to the exact shape necessary, and highly polished; and, although everything is finished like an ornament for a drawing-room chimney-piece, the general effect produced is rather solemn and impressive than gaudy.

"In the minute beauties of execution, the flowers are by no means equal to those on tables and other small works in Pietra dura at Florence. It is the taste displayed in outline and application of this ornament, combined with the lightness and simplicity of the building, which gives it an advantage so prodigious over the gloomy portals of the chapel of the Medici. The graceful flow, the harmonious colours, combined with the mild lustre of the marble on which the ornamentation is displayed, form the peculiar charm of the building, and distinguish it from any other in the world. The materials are Lapis Lazuli, Jasper, Heliotrope or blood stone, Chalcedony, and other agates, Cornelian, Jade, &c."

[35] - A coin of the value of thirty-two shillings.

[36] - Hardy's "Eastern Monachisms."

[37] - Csoma de Koros.

[38] - VIDE page 202.

[39] - Muir's "Life of Mahomet."

[40] - M. Dietrici.

[41] - Padma pani, fils celeste du Bouddha divin du monde actuel, est, dans cette qualite, entre en fonction depuis la mort du Bouddha terrestre Sakya mouni, comme son remplacant, charge d'etre apres lui le protecteur constant, le gardien et le propagateur de la foi bouddhique renouvelee par Sakya. C'est pour cette raison qu'il ne se borne pas a une apparition unique comme les Bouddhas, mais qu'il se soumet presque sans interruption a une serie de naissances qui dureront jusqu'a l'avenement de Maitreya, le futur Bouddha.

On croit aussi qu'il est incarne dans la personne du "Dalai Lama," et qu'il paraitra en qualite de Bouddha, le millieme de la periode actuelle du monde.

Le Tibet est sa terra de predilection; il est le pere de ses habitants, et la formule celebre: Om mani padme hom, est un de ses bienfaits. - RELATION DES ROYAUMES BOUDDHIQUES, par Chy Fa Hian, traduit par M. Remusat.

[42] - Le mot Khoubilkhan, en Mongol, designe l'incarnation d'une ame superieure.

[43] - Khoutoukhtou, en Mongol, signifie "UN SAINT MAITRE."

[44] - Le plus petit "Kalpa" est de seize millions huit cent mille ans, et le grand "Kalpa" est d'un milliard trois cents quarante-quatre millions d'annees.

[45] - Je ne l'ai encore trouvee cette phrase dans aucun ouvrage chinois ou japonais, et notre savant collegue M. Bournouf, m'a dit aussi qu'il ne l'a jamais rencontree dans les livres palis, birmans et siamois.

[46] - um maani padmi

[47] - Amongst these were sheets of gilt leather, stamped with the black eagle of the Russian armorial; talents of gold and silver, bags of genuine musk, narrow cloths of woollen the manufacture of Thibet, and silks of China.
