be defined as the incapacity to forget. Asuras traced below is an illustration. Ṛgveda iii.55

The story of the The refrain of the

continues changing up to the time of Patañjali 3 who draws the curtain over the Asura's last effort at exclusive existence——

te asurāḥ *

iti Śrutih (Vā. 2,15; Mat. 35. 5; Hv. 10. 619; Råm. i. 70,30; etc.) roughly correspond to parokṣā ṛchah of Yāska., Daiv. I. i. Smṛta, anufufruma (Vā, 62,17 Bd. ii. 36, 201; Hv. 1.47; MEh. i.94, 3740; etc. approximate pratya kṣā rchah, Yāska, op. cit. It would be interesting to compare all such passages and determine their context. Śruti was older than the Vedas. cf. Vaidiki-Sruti (Vå. 30.4) as distinguished from Atharvani Śruti (Viș. vi. 5.65). Tradition as embodied in Vedic and pre-Vedic sources is referred to in purāṇam Veda-frutiSamā hitam (Br. 213,167) and Veda-Śrutau purāpe cha (Bḍ. iv. 1.30). Later these pre-Vedic and Vedic sources merged as Veda in a comprehensive sense and was contrasted with itihasa and as smaryate, Ṛv. i. 65. Manu represents this later outlook, Manu. I1. 6.
