(由弟子S·E·沃尔多小姐记录)
1895年7月15日,星期一。
在实行一妻多夫制的地方,如西藏,女性在体格上比男性更为强壮。英国人到那里时,这些妇女能背负大个子男人翻越崇山峻岭。
在马拉巴尔,虽然那里当然没有一妻多夫制,但女性在一切事务中居于主导地位。处处可见非凡的清洁,学习风气也最为浓厚。我本人在那个地区时,遇到过许多能说流利梵语的女性,而在印度其余地区,百万妇女中也难有一人能说梵语。主宰使人崇高,奴役使人卑下。马拉巴尔从未被葡萄牙人或穆斯林所征服。
达罗毗荼人是早于雅利安人到来的中亚非雅利安种族,其中南印度的达罗毗荼人最为文明。在他们当中,女性的地位高于男性。他们后来分化,一部分前往埃及,一部分前往巴比伦,其余的则留在了印度。

(RECORDED BY MISS S. E. WALDO, A DISCIPLE)
MONDAY, July 15, 1895.
Where there is polyandry, as in Tibet, women are physically stronger than the men. When the English go there, these women carry large men up the mountains.
In Malabar, although of course polyandry does not obtain there, the women lead in everything. Exceptional cleanliness is apparent everywhere and there is the greatest impetus to learning. When I myself was in that country, I met many women who spoke good Sanskrit, while in the rest of India not one woman in a million can speak it. Mastery elevates, and servitude debases. Malabar has never been conquered either by the Portuguese or by the Mussulmans.
The Dravidians were a non-Aryan race of Central Asia who preceded the Aryans, and those of Southern India were the most civilised. Women with them stood higher than men. They subsequently divided, some going to Egypt, others to Babylonia, and the rest remaining in India.
