Buddha (b[)oo]d´[~e]). Family name, Gautama; given names,
Siddartha ("in whom wishes are fulfilled") and Buddha ("he
who knows"). Born 628 B.C., son of the king of Kapilavastu,
north of Oude, India; died in his eighty-fifth year. Founder
of Buddhism, which, in opposition to the dead creed and
forms of Brahmanism, taught: "(1) Existence is only pain or
sorrow. (2) The cause of pain or sorrow is desire. (3) In
Nirvana all pain and sorrow cease. (4) Nirvana is attainable
by the 'noble path´ of virtuous self-discipline." _Nirvana_
is both a means and an end. As a means, it is the process
of renunciation by which the love of life and self are
extinguished; as an end, it is the heaven of the Buddhist, a
negative bliss consisting in absorption of the soul into the
Infinite. The soul is the _Karma_, the sum total of a man's
deeds, good and evil,--his character, by which is determined
his state of future existence. The Karma passes through
various earthly existences in the process of renunciation
described above.

studies on, _C. 302_

Egyptian divinities, (1) Those of Memphis were Phtha, Ra, Shu
and Tefnet, Seb and Nut, Osiris and Isis, Seth and Nephthys,
Horus and Hathor.
(2) Those of Thebes were Amen (Ammon), Mentu, Atmu, Shu and
Tefnet, Seb and Nut, Osiris and Isis, Seth and Nephthys,
Horus and Hathor, Sebek, Tennet, and Penit.
See _Encyc. Brit._, and authorities referred to in _C. 302_.
The following lists are genealogically arranged:
(1) Phtha, Seb, Ra;
(2) Amen, etc.
(1) _Phtha_ or _Ptah_: chief deity of Memphis; perhaps
of foreign origin. His name means the "opener," or the
"carver." He is called "the Father of the Beginning," and
as the prime architect, or artificer, recalls the Greek
Hephæstus. He is the activity of the "Spirit," Neph,
Chnuphis. He is represented as a mummy or a pygmy.
_Pakht_ and _Bast_: a goddess of two forms, lioness-headed
or cat-headed. At Memphis, Pakht was worshiped as wife of
Phtha; at Bubastis, Bast was adored as daughter of Isis.
_Nefer Atum_: worshiped at Heliopolis as the son of Phtha.
Like Osiris (see below), he is the sun of the underworld.
_Seb_: the father of the Osirian gods. He is the god of
earth and its vegetation; represented as a man with the
head of a goose; he corresponds with the Greek Cronus; his
consort was Nut.
_Nut_: wife of Seb, mother of the Osirian gods; the vault
of heaven; she may be likened to the Greek Rhea.
_Osi´ris_, or _Hesiri_: the good principle. Identified with
the vivifying power of the sun and of the waters of the
Nile. In general, the most human and most beneficent of the
Egyptian deities. He is the son of Seb (or, according to
some, of Neph, Chnuphis). He may be likened to the Greek
Apollo, as a representative of spiritual light; to Dionysus
in his vivifying function. He wages war with his brother
Seth (Set), the principle of Evil, but is vanquished by
him, boxed in a chest, drowned, and finally cut into small
pieces. His sister-wife, Isis, recovers all but one piece
of the body of O., and buries them. He becomes protector of
the shades, judge of the underworld, the sun of the night,
the tutelary deity of the Egyptians. He is avenged by his
son Horus, who, with the aid of Thoth (reason), temporarily
overcomes Seth. The myth may refer to the daily struggle of
the sun with darkness, and also to the unending strife of
good with evil, the course of human life, and of the life
after death. O. is represented as a mummy crowned with the
Egyptian miter.
_I´sis_, or _Hes_: the wife and feminine counterpart of
Osiris. Represented as a woman crowned with the sun's disk
or cow's horns, bearing also upon her head her emblem, the
throne.
_Ho´rus_, or _Har_: son of Osiris and Isis, who, as the
strong young sun of the day, avenges his father, the sun
of the underworld. He is Horus the child, Horus the elder
(as taking the place of his father on earth), or sometimes
Horus Harpocrates, the god of silence. As the latter, he
holds a finger to his lips. He may be compared with the
Greek Apollo.
_Harpoc´ra-tes_: see _Horus_
_Ha´thor_, or _Athor_: a goddess often identified with
Isis. She had the head of a cow and wears the sun's disk,
and plumes. Her name means "Home of Horus." She has
characteristics of the Greek Aphrodite.
_Seth_, or _Set_: the principle of physical, and later
of moral, darkness and evil. He is the opponent of his
brother, or father, Osiris. Represented as a monster with
ass's body, jackal's ears and snout, and the tail of a lion.
_Nephthys_: a goddess of the dead; the sister of Isis, and
wife of Seth. She aided Isis to recover the drowned Osiris.
_A´pis_: the sacred bull, into which the life of Osiris was
supposed to have passed. The name also indicates the Nile.
The bull Apis must have certain distinguishing marks; he
was treated like a god; and on his death (he was drowned
at twenty-five years of age) the land went into mourning
until his successor was found. He was worshiped with pomp
in Memphis.
See _Serapis_
_Sera´pis_ (or _Ser´apis_; see _Milton, Paradise Lost, 1,
720_): as Apis represents the living Osiris, so S. the
Osiris who had passed into the underworld.
_Ra_: originally the deity of the physical attributes of
the sun; but ultimately the representative of supreme
godhead. Worshiped through all Egypt, and associated with
other gods who are then manifestations of his various
attributes. He is the victorious principle or light, life,
and right, but rules over, rather than sympathizes with,
mankind. He is of human form, sometimes hawk-headed, always
crowned with the sun's disk. His Greek counterpart is not
Apollo, but Helios.
_Mentu_: Ra, as the rising sun
_Atmu_: Ra, as the setting sun
_Shu_: the solar light; son of Ra, Mentu, or Atmu
(2) _Ammon_, or _Amen_: "the hidden," a deity of the
Egyptian Thebes; generally associated in attributes with
some other god. As Amen-Ra he is the king of Theban gods,
the divinity of the sun. He is of human form; rarely
with a goat's head, as represented by the Greeks. He
corresponds to the Greek Zeus. As Amen-Khem he is the god
of productivity, and is represented with a flail in his
hand. His consort is Mut, or Maut, and their son is Khuns.
_Mut_, or _Maut_: the mother; the Theban goddess of
womanhood, wife of Amen-Ra. She corresponds to the Greek
Demeter.
_Khuns_: son of Ammon and Maut; a divinity of the moon. He
is sometimes hawk-headed; generally invested with the disk
and crescent of the moon.
_Neph_, _Chnuphis_, _Khnum_, _Num_, or _Nu_: the soul of
the universe; the word or will of Ammon-Ra; the creator.
Represented with the head of a ram.
_Khem, Chem_ (_cf._ Milton's _Cham_), called also _Min_:
the energizing principle of physical life. Associated
with both Ammon and Osiris. His counterpart in classical
mythology is Pan, or, as god of gardens, Priapus.
_Neith_: goddess of the upper heaven; self-produced;
mother of the sun; goddess, consequently, of wisdom, the
arts of peace and of war. Likened by the Greeks to Athena.
Worshiped in Lower Egypt as a woman in form, with bow and
arrows in her hand.
_Ma-t_: goddess of truth; her emblem is the ostrich
feather, which signifies truth. She is the wife of Thoth.
_Thoth_: the chief moon-god; characterized by his wisdom,
and his patronage of letters. Husband of Ma-t
_Anubis_: son of Osiris. Guide of ghosts

Hindu divinities: arranged logically as (1) Vedic, (2)
Brahmanic. For Buddhism see _Buddha_
(1) Vedic: the Aryan, and earliest form of Hindu religion;
dealing primarily with elemental powers that, in time,
acquired spiritual signification
_Vedas_: the Sanskrit scriptures; from root, to know, to be
wise; see p. 462.
_Devas_: the shining ones, the gods (Gk. _theos_, Lat. _deus_)
_Dyaus_: the shining sky, the elemental overruling spirit of
the primitive Aryans (Gk. _Zeus_, Lat. _Jovis_)
_Prithivi_: goddess Earth, spouse of Dyaus
_Indra_: son of Dyaus and Prithivi; the atmospheric region;
chief of the gods, and strongest; wielder of the thunderbolt,
lord of the plains, bull of the heavens, conqueror of the
malignant, thirsty Vritra, gatherer of clouds, dispenser of
rain; adored in heaven and on earth
_Varuna_: god of the vault of heaven (root _var_, to cover;
Gk. _Ouranos_, Lat. _Uranus_); the all-seeing, the pardoner,
merciful even to the guilty
_Ushas_: the dawn, mother of mornings, brilliant of raiment,
golden-colored, spreading far and wide, everywhere awakening
men, preparing the pathway of the sun, and leading his white
steed (Gk. _Eos_)
_Surya_: the god who dwells in the sun (Gk. _Helios_)
_Savitar_: the golden-handed sun in his daily course; the
shining wanderer, comforter of men
_Soma_: a deification of the spirituous "extract" of the
moon-plant; giver of strength to gods and men, and of radiant
light and joyous immortality
_Vayu_: god of the wind
_Maruts_: deities of the storm
_Agni_: the youngest and one of the most important of the
Vedic gods; lord of fire, born of two pieces of wood rubbed
together; youngest of the deities, giver of prosperity to
men, their guardian and companion, passing between heaven and
earth "like a messenger between two hamlets" (Lat. _ignis_;
_cf._ Gk. _Hephæstus_)
_Vach_: goddess of speech, teacher of spiritual worship,
promoter of wisdom and holiness
_Vritra_: the monstrous snake, drinker of rain-clouds, dark,
evil, and malicious, overcome by Indra (_cf._ Apollo and the
Python)
_Rakshasas_: powers of darkness, combated by Indra
_Yama_, and his sister _Yami_: the first man and woman;
leaving this life they prepared for those that should follow
them blissful abodes in the other world, of which they are
king and queen
(2) Brahmanic: a philosophical outgrowth of the Vedic
religion, which, on the one hand, was refined into logical
subtleties, intelligible only to the learned; on the other
hand, crystallized into symbols, rites, and unending
conventionalities
_Trimurti_: the Brahmanic Trinity, consisting of the
following three persons:
_Brahma_: in the Rig-Veda, a word for devotion, prayer;
later, for the supreme principle of the universe, its
source, its essence, and its sustenance. Brahma is the
_creative energy_ of the godhead, calm, passionless, remote
from man and the world. He is four-headed and four-handed.
_Vishnu_: originally a benevolent Vedic deity, with certain
attributes of the sun; adopted by a sect as its special
god, and then annexed by the Brahmans as a manifestation
of the supreme being in his work of _preservation_. He has
nine times assumed human form, each incarnation having
for its purpose the redemption of mankind from oppression
or error. These incarnations are his _Avatars_. His ninth
_Avatar_, say some, was as Buddha; in his tenth he will end
this world, and reproduce Brahma, who will create things
anew.
_Siva_: originally a bloodthirsty deity, not of the Vedic,
but of some aboriginal Hindu religion; absorbed in the
Brahmanic godhead as the manifestation of _destructive
power_. He is adorned with a necklace of skulls and
earrings of serpents.
_Sarasvati_: goddess of speech (see _Vach_); spouse of Brahma
_Sri_, or _Lakshmi_: goddess of beauty; spouse of Vishnu
_Uma_, or _Parvati_ (Kali, Durga): the inaccessible, the
terrible; spouse of Siva
_Gandharvas_: genii of music (_cf._ Centaurs); retainers of Indra
_Lokapalas_: generic name for the Vedic deities when degraded
by Brahmanism to the position of tutelary spirits
