viii.104.14.The reader must distinguish, in the name of Brahm[=a], the god from the priest, and this from _brahm[=a]_, prayer.

The first step is _brahma_--force, power, prayer; then this is, as a masculine Brahm[=a], the one who prays, that is, prayer, the Brahman priest, as, in the Rig Veda, x.141.3.Brihaspati is the 'Brahm[=a] of gods.' The next (Brahmanic) step is deified _brahma_, the personal Brahm[=a] as god, called also Father-god (Praj[=a]pati) or simply The Father (_pit[=a]_).] [Footnote 33: _Cat.Br_.iii.1.2.
