Notes:

Indra is the Hindu god of the weather; the book refers to it as the atmosphere.

The [Hindus] regarded the powers of nature as manifestations of gods. In the storms, they supposed these rival gods were quarreling. In the Vedic hymns, frequent mention is made of the chief god, called Dyaus, the “Heavenly Father,”

...

After a time, he names of the gods are somewhat altered, and a sort of trinity is formed. [...] Indra, the atmosphere-god, becomes Siva. (p. 215)
