1 Agastya’s wife. This seems to refer to Lopāmudrā’s words to her husband in Rig-veda I, 179;
cf, also Mahābh. III, xcvii.
2 This should be Ututhya (cf. Mahābh. I, civ). Mamatā had Dīrghatamas by her husband and
Bharadvāja by Vhaspati. The MSS, read Samatā.
3 She is called Tārā, Vṣṇu Pur. IV, 6.
4 Manu IX, 23.
