Alb\={\i}rūn\={\i}, the Muslim savant of the eleventh century, commences one of the chapters of his well-known book on India with the following comment:As the word of confession, `There is no god but God, Muhammad is his prophet,' is the shibboleth of Islam, the Trinity that of Christianity, and the institute of the Sabbath that of Judaism, so metempsychosis is the shibboleth of the Hindu religion. Therefore he who does not believe in it does not belong to them, and is not reckoned as one of them.1
