The first of these festivals may be the Kanarese New Year's Day, which Domingo Paes in his chronicle asserts to have fallen, during his visit to Vijayanagar, on October 12 "FESTAS EM QUE TODOS VESTEM PANOS NOVOS E RICOS E GALANTES, E CADA HUU COMO O TEM, E DAO TODOS OS CAPITAEES PANOS A TODA SUA GNETE DE MUYTAS CORES E GALANTES." The second should be the Dipavali festival, which occurs about the month of October, when lamps are lighted by all the householders, and the temples are illuminated.
Their example soon becomes contagious, and group after group chimes in with the uproarious chant. Listen! From the farthest extremity of the encampment comes a querying solo: "De todos los Generales cual es el valiente?" and from five hundred throats the response is thundered: "Mi General Paez con toda su gente!" Again the solo demands: "De todos los Generales cual es el major?"
DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Bruno! BRUNO. Jesús, señorita, ¿ya se levantó usted? DOÑA MATILDE. Sí, no he podido cerrar los ojos en toda la noche. BRUNO. Ya se habrá usted estado leyendo hasta las tres o las cuatro, según costumbre.... DOÑA MATILDE. No es eso.... BRUNO. Se le habrá arrebatado el calor a la cabeza.... DOÑA MATILDE. Repito que....
The reason why it may not be drunk anthropologists may cast about to discover, but the Todas themselves do not know. All that they know, and are concerned to know, is that things would somehow all go wrong, if any one were foolish enough to commit such a sin. So in the Toda temple, which is a dairy, the Toda priest, who is the dairyman, sets about rendering the sacred products harmless.
Much as this pleased Carmen, it seemed to her that the child's prayers could not be wholly valid unless uttered in Spanish; for Spanish was heaven's own tongue, la lengua de Dios, el idioma de Dios; and she resolved to teach her to say the Salve Maria and the Padre Nuestro in Castilian also, her own favorite prayer to the Virgin, beginning with the words, "Madre santisima, toda dulce y hermosa." . . .
The large number of gods now recognized by the various Toda communities are essentially the same in character and function, and the existing system has doubtless been formed by the coalition of the clans. Cf. the Greek κουροτροφος.
And so on and so forth. Such disabilities, indeed, are wont to circumscribe the life of all sacred persons, and can be matched from every part of the world. But they may fairly be cited here, as helping to fill in the picture of what I have called the precautionary or negative type of religious ritual. Further, there is something rotten in the state of Toda religion. The dairymen struck Dr.
Usted ha hecho lo que ha debido ... cerciorarse primero de que no me amaba, y quitarme luego de una vez toda esperanza ... nada más natural, ni más de agradecer ... otro más afortunado que yo habrá quizá obtenido....
In Southern India, among the Toda tribes, where the buffalo herd is sacred, this is quite apparent. Certain buffaloes are attended by the priests only, special dairies are sacred, and the entire religious development has to do with the sanctity of milk. The dairy utensils are sacred, and one special vessel, the one which contains the fermenting material, is held in particular veneration.
Without drawing rein, he rode seventy miles to Toda, nearly midway between Jaipur and Ajmere. On the morning of the third day he reached Ajmere, paid his usual devotions at the tomb of the saint; then, mounting his horse in the evening, continued his journey, and joined his army at Páli on the road to Dísa.
