SACREDNESS OF FISHES. SOME INOLAN SUPERSTITIONS -

ABOUT THEM.

Indians are 'net agreed on the measure of sanctity attached to fishes, for While in some parts they are greatly rever. enced, in others they are regularly enten as food. In soure parts. the east and west coasts, even the Brahmins, usually

and any attempt to capture them would meet with great opposition from the Brahmins and other devoters. Fran the excitement results even in the small village when a Europen makes Man ettempt to capture these sarred fish. It is probable that much of the sacredness attached to them in the mes of Hindus is due to the part, played by Vishan when he took on himself the form of a fish and after saying Mana from the great food succeeded obtain ing the stolen Vedas from Haya Grisa. This story is one of the most Familiar in Indian legends

The fish is really an avatars of Vishnu, who after plaring the beat in a place of safety, darted below, to the hiding plass of Haya Griya, eluded him, and brought back the Vedas. This is doubtless the basis of - fish werskip in Julia.

AN ECONOMU ASPECT.

There is another aspect which dezerves to be noted and which doubtless accounts in some mensare for the worship paid to them. It is economic question-

These who are dependent on fish fer a Livelihood will naturally try to propitiate them. Buddha also taught the sacred. nes of fishes, and his teaching gradually its into the rules of the modern

way 1 Vaishnava scrts. The God Krishna is also associated with fish, and in some places he has fish which are said to be his especial property. Colonel Tod in his accounts of the customs of the people of the Bajasthan relates an instance which llustrates the view of one ruler toward the tsh of Kotah. When he asked for permission to fish in the tank there, he received the following reply: "

Kotah and all round are at his disposal,” these fish belong to Krishna, In Bara the Buddhists pay special interest and reverence to the fishes, honouring them in

a very curious way. The creatures are

leaf on their heads, as one may see them placing it on, the god in the temple at Gya. There used to be some very

famous fish connected

with the great Thikadaw Page da. but they have been neglected and have become wild. In Napal there is a shrime near Kharmandy in connection with which there is a tank of marvellously elear water. This is filled with sacred fish, and the water being so transparent; it is possible for the visitors to get a clear view of the inhabitants. Other in- stances might be given of places where special worship reverence is paid to the creatures of the deep, but the rest of this article must be devoted to sewn-of| the "imeresting cremonies, connected with them.

EMBLEM OF GOOD LAPK.

Like many other creatures, the fish is considered by Hindus as an emblent ci fertility and good luck. It is in connee- tion with this idea that the Brahmans of Kanara have a custom of taking the newly married pair to the banks of a pond and there making them throw rice in the water and catch a few minnows, The fish so caught is taken by the rela tives of the pair, one is chosen, the rest released. The sca
