128 THE HISTORY OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT. "god besides Me".' These were they to whom "<strong>Alexander</strong>, the king of the Greeks, went, and this "is what they' wrote unto him:— "If thou hast ' The passage in I Kings, XIX. i8, reads :- ffl;^i'C'P ' Sf'tt'hfl. • h'.rt- ! ?»A ' h^fnH- AnOA fflVj'-A- h^ ' H^^^wAVi " it is quoted from memory, with additions. ^ According to Megasthenes (Strabo XV. I. 59) the Indian philosophers were of two kinds, the Brachmanes and the Garmanes; it was to members of the former sect that Alex- ander put questions. The philosophers lived upon frugal diet in a grove, and they lay upon straw and skins. They ate no animal food, and abstained from women for thirty- seven years, but after that period they could and did marry. They talked much of death, which they regarded as the birth to real life, and they held the present life to be that of one conceived in the womb. Their actions were better than their reasoning, and their belief was founded chiefly on fables. They believed that the world was created by a god who pervades it everywhere, that it is spherical in shape, that the principle from which it was formed was water, and that it occupied the centre of the universe: besides the four ele- ments there is a fifth nature of which the heavens and the stars are made. They believed in the immortality of the soul and in punishments in Hades. According to Mas'udi (ed. B. de Meynard), torn. I. p. 154^, the Brahmans take their name from Brahman, who reigned three hundred and sixty- six years; some believe that he was Adam or a prophet sent by God to the Indians, but others only look upon him as a king. The Brahmans ate the flesh of no animal, and men and women wore a yellow thread around their necks. In the days of Brahman seven of the wisest of his descend- ants assembled and tried to discover the secret of the world: —whence they came and whither they were going, whether the cause of their creation was wisdom or folly, who created them, and why, having created them, he brought death to them.
ALEXANDER AND THE BRAHMANS. 1 29 "come and wouldst do battle with us, turn thee "back to thy place, because it is unseemly for thee "to fight with us. For we are poor and needy "men, and we have neither possessions nor riches, "and we have only the food which we eat from "day to day.' We have neither corn nor barley, "nor flocks nor herds, and we have no business "of any kind whatsoever, except the worship of "the glorious God, for our God is the Merciful "One. We are the remnant which is left of the The Brah- "children of Seth,^ the son of Adam, whom Godcendedfrom "Almighty covered over [p, 72] in the hidden place ^''*' "of His treasures when he sent the flood upon the "earth.^ In our country there is nothing for which ^ Or, "and we do not eat food except from day to day," i. e., we eat one meal a day only. ' According to the Book of Adam and Eve (ed. Malan, p. iiSf.) Seth and his children lived to the north of the mountain of the Cave of Treasures; because of their purity they were called "Children of God". They did no earthly work, and thought only of singing hymns and psalms unto God; they neither sowed nor reaped, and they ate the fruit of the fine trees which grew on their mountain (Compare KHi eOeujpr|(Tev uXag TroWdg xai bevbpa TToXXd Kai unep- Ka\a faetd KapirOuv travTobaTTaiv, iTOTaiaov be TrepiKUKXcuvid 6\riv Tiiv THV eKeivriv, ou ^v to ubtup biaqpaveq, XeuKov ujffei fdXa k. t. X., Meusel, p. 773). The children of Seth came down from their mountain seduced by the daughters of Cain, and when they tried to return they found that they were unable to do so, because they had defiled themselves with women, whose hands and feet were dyed with colour, and whose faces had divers tattoo marks on them. 3 The Book of Adam and Eve (ed. Malan, p. 155) states
