Sarma (1992), p. 208 In the words of the art critic Fergusson,Fergusson in Kamath (1980), p. 52 It was a common practice among the 10th century kings of the Western Ganga dynasty to erect free-standing pillars in front of Jain basadis.Sarma (1992), p. 206 According to the art critic and historian S. Settar, generally "Brahmadeva" pillars found in front of ancient Jain temples do not house sculptures of the Brahma Yaksha or the god Brahma, rather these pillars find their origins in the "Manastambha" and house an image of the Sarvanubhuti Yaksha (a benevolent spirit). According to the historian I. K. Sarma, the term may have originated from "Bhrm" meaning to "wander around".Settar in Shah (1987), p.

Gaoh is mostly a benevolent spirit, but can be restless and violent, and would create storms. Depending on the myths, he either lives in a house in the sky, or a mountain cave called "the House of Winds." From his home, he controls the seasons, and also winds of the four cardinal directions: Ya-o-gah, Bear of the north wind, Da-jo-ji, Panther of the west wind, O-yan-do-ne, Moose of the east wind and Ne-o-gah, Fawn of the south wind. Some versions of the myths describe the winds as the guardians of Gaoh's home, while others describe the winds being locked up in his home, who were to be released once Gaoh receives the order from the Great Spirit.

The need for a fund to benefit colleagues who fell on hard times was seen by many in the early days of motion pictures. It began with coin boxes at studios, where industry workers would drop their spare change for their colleagues. The MPTF was created by such industry luminaries as Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Conrad Nagel, Milton Sills, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., and D. W. Griffith. In 1921, the Motion Picture Relief Fund (MPRF) was incorporated with Joseph M. Schenck as first president, Pickford was vice president and the Reverend Neal Dodd (who portrayed ministers in more than 300 films) as administrator, each with a benevolent spirit intent on providing assistance to those in the motion picture industry who were in need.

Classical Zurvanism is a term coined by Zaehner (1955, intro) to denote the movement to explain the inconsistency of Zoroaster's description of the "twin spirits" as they appear in Yasna 30.3–5 of the Avesta. According to Zaehner, this "Zurvanism proper" was "genuinely Iranian and Zoroastrian in that it sought to clarify the enigma of the twin spirits that Zoroaster left unsolved" (Zaehner, 1961). As the priesthood sought to explain it, if the Malevolent Spirit (lit: Angra Mainyu) and the Benevolent Spirit (Spenta Mainyu, identified with Ahura Mazda) were twins, then they must have had a parent, who must have existed before them. The priesthood settled on Zurvan – the hypostasis of (Infinite) Time – as being "the only possible 'Absolute' from whom the twins could proceed" and which was the source of good in the one and the source of evil in the other (Zaehner, 1961).
