An article of Brown's with the same title appeared in /Pratidānam, 
Indian and Indo-European Studies presented to F.B.J. Kuiper/, The Hague: 
Mouton, 1968, pp. 393–397, and was reprinted from that source in /India 
and Indology, Selected Articles by W. Norman Brown/, edited by Rosane 
Rocher, Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 1978, pp. 75–78. /
