Barthold states in the *Encyclopaedia of Islam* that *bakhsh* is of Sanskrit origin, deriving from *bhikshu*, a term denoting Buddhist priests; this is one of its meanings. A. K. Banarjee discusses the Bhagavata, an ancient Indian philosophy, on pp. 120–130 of vol. 1 of *History of Philosophy Eastern and Western* (London, 1952). Perhaps, then, the sect that made Buddha the focus of its worship was the Bakhshiyya. (3) (N), (M), and (W) read: “and the sorcerers.” (4) Yāqūt al-Hamawī states in *Mu‘jam al-Buldān* (Dictionary of Countries): “A famous and important city, the largest and most renowned city in Azerbaijan.” Qadrī Hāfiz Tūqān states in *Turāth al-‘Arab al-‘Ilmī fī al-Riyādiyyāt wa-l-Falak* (The Arabs’ Scientific Heritage in Mathematics and Astronomy), p. [0–9]08, that Nasīr al-Tūsī built the Marāgha Observatory for Hulagu. Its construction began in 657 AH, and it became renowned for its instruments and observational capabilities. (5) (B), (W), and (R) read: *akhas* (“most contemptible”); (N), (M), (H), and (A) read: *ahsan* (“best”). The reading adopted here, *abkhas* (“smallest”), is from (S). (6) (N) and (M) read: “from.” (7) (S), (R), (H), and (W) read: “further removed from.” (8) The text between square brackets is omitted from (N), (M), and (W). (9) The text between square brackets is omitted from (N) and (M); in (N), it is replaced by the word “the well-known ones.”
