540 REMARKS ON ANCIENT HINDU 



the modem commentators from the clofe of the Treta 

 vug down to the clofe of the Dwapar yug of the Po- 

 ets ; therefore Kama was iuppoied to have been the 

 lafr. prince of the folar line who reigned in Oud at the 

 clofe of the Treta yug : and as they had placed the 

 immediate fuccefibrs of Pari c shit at the beginning

 reigned after the Dwapar yug, ( but only in the agro- 

 nomical Cali yug, which commenced the 906th year 

 of the Satya yug of the Poets, and has been unfortu- 

 nately confounded (by the modern Hindu commenta- 

 tors) with their Cali yug : with which however it has 

 no relation except in name : or to fpeak more cor- 

 rectly, they have confounded the fictitious ages of 

 the Poets with the real afironomib periods.
