[Footnote 49: Hegel cites Wilson's Lexicon, _s.v._ 2.]
[Footnote 50: _Dem Rhythmus nach_, that is, the Hindoo conception is entirely superficial, and expresses rather a rhythmic order than a profound spiritual truth which this number expresses, a truth which as Hegel has previously observed may be expressed under other determinations than the numerical.]
[Footnote 51: _Unstätigkeit_, instability, flightiness, detachment from a fundamental principle.]
[Footnote 52: That is Brahmâ apparently.]
[Footnote 53: The order of the words would strictly mean that the sons were in the pitchers and it is quite possible that this is the meaning.]
[Footnote 54: That is, in Greek cosmogony.]
[Footnote 55: What: _Centimanen_ refers to I do not know, possibly a name for Arges, Ceropes, and Brontes.]
[Footnote 56: The sense is "which is not merely (to take the obvious case of opposition which is, however, _not_ the one here described) totally outside the Absolute and incidental to," etc. Hegel's words would admit of the interpretation that this was part of the conception he is describing. But this is obviously not so, for, in that case, the negative would be ascribed to both the Absolute and the "other God."]
[Footnote 57: _Ist Unterscheiden_, is that which involves differentiation. To posit a quality is to distinguish from other qualities. A fundamental, aspect of Hegelian logic.]
[Footnote 58: _Glied_, part of one organic totality.]
[Footnote 59: Hegel uses an expression somewhat similar to Milton's "Among the faithless faithful only he." _Den Bisherigen_ refers primarily, of course, to the Persian and Hindoo peoples.]
[Footnote 60: _Wie des Innern überhaupt_, _i.e._, the Inward with its significance as the Absolute.]
[Footnote 61: _In seiner Abgeschiedenheit vom Leben_. In other words the corpse was preserved as still the only appropriate external form of Life. Though Hegel separates the two aspects of Egyptian belief they were necessary concomitants of each other.]
[Footnote 62: I have translated _Innerem_ here by "soul," but it expresses of course too much if taken strictly in its most personal sense.]
[Footnote 63: _Aberglaube_, not "superstition" so much as belief that is intuitive, not rationally deduced. The emphasis is on _ahnt._]
