Under this system, India enjoyed peace, harmony, and good order, för many centuries. The sages of the sacred tribe, having no expectation or desire of holding public offices or possessing any political power, devoted themselvos to literary and scientific pursuits, practised religious austerites, and lived in honorable poverty, safe from the agitatious produced by the desire of riches and the intrigues and contests for power and ascendency. Freely associating with all the other tribes, they were able to understand the feelings and sentiments of the community, and to appreciate the justice of their complaints, and thereby to establish such laws as were required, and correct, as their labors proceeded the abuses that had been created by the second tribe. In token of the obligations generally felt to Parasurama, as the public benefactor and redeemer from political bondage, in having produced this auspicious change in the administration of the country, as well as of their veneration and regard for his character, the people nominated his grandfather, ihe sage.

author, thus composing a treatise which may supply the place of a regular digest. It is desirable to discover approximately the epoch of this great political revolution. But in making the attempt we must divost our miuds of the fables and allegories of. mythological writers. We are happy to find that some vestiges have been left for our guidance. It has been observed that this revolution took place under the direction of Parasurama. Having effected the radical change in the constitution of the country, by which the legislative power was separated front the executive authority, that celebrated personage retired at an advanced age for devotion to a mountain called Mahendra, aeeording to Sanserit, writers, in the vicinity of Cape Kutnarika (Comorin,) where he established an era of his own to perpetuate, it is probable, the memory of the events of his life. As stated by Mr. James Prinsep, that era is yet used in that part of the Peninsula of ľudia, known among the natives under the name of Malayala, extendiug from Mangalore, through the provinces of Malabar, Cotiote, and Travancore to Cape Comorin. The era derived its naume from him, and commences from 1176 B. C. and is reckoned in cycles of one thousand years. The year is a solar or rather sidereal, and commences when the sun enters the sign Kanya (Virgo,) answering to the solar month Asvina. There is also evidence that Bhrigu who promulgated the laws of Menu, flourished about 1176 B. C.
