So "before" means east: "behind," west (so the Hindus). Para, "before"—east: Apara, "behind"—west: Daschina, "the right hand"—south: Bama, "left"—north. A similar reference to sunrise appears in the name Asia, "sunrise," Europe, "sunset" pure Babylonian names, as RAWLINSON shows. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
