Of these various sects, in the first place, there can be made two

main divisions, the orthodox and the unorthodox. Those that believe

in the Hindu scriptures, the Vedas, as eternal revelations of truth,

are called orthodox, and those that stand on other authorities,

rejecting the Vedas, are the heterodox in India. The chief modern

unorthodox Hindu sects are the Jains and the Buddhists. Among the

orthodox some declare that the scriptures are of much higher

authority than reason; others again say that only that portion of the

scriptures which is rational should be taken and the rest rejected.
