Vaishnavism in antiquity: Heliodorus
From the Bhakti List Archives
• January 21, 1998
A minor correction on Kannan's note (which read as:)
One of these inscriptions records that the column was
set up as a Garuda Pillar in honour of God Vasudeva
(Vishnu) by Heliodorus, a Greek inhabitant of Taxila
(Takshasila),
The Discovery of India by Jawaharlal Nehru has it as:
Garuda Pillar in honour of Vasudeva the God of Gods (Vishnu) by Heliodorus.
A minor change which probably has a major implication for a SriVaishnava.
