From the 1888 First Edition to the Online Edition.
Note: this is an ongoing project. Last updated: December 3, 2019.
Rationale: The purpose of these corrections and updates is to facilitate serious study. Updated terms allow students, academics or researchers to quickly and easily search for those terms online, with the correct and most common modern spellings. Consistent spelling of techincal terms allows for easy and complete word-searches throughout the text. Updated styling, i.e. in the formatting of book titles, etc. allows for easy referencing.
The updates and corrections are made throughout the whole text, including when the author is quoting from another work wherein a term may have been spelled differently. Thus it should be clear that this online edition is meant solely as a study and research aid, and not as a verbatim record of the original publication or of quoted works.
For a list of works referenced referenced in The Secret Doctrine, see the Secret Doctrine References.

Rhys Davids and others and even into Monier-William’s Sanskrit-English Dictionary, but no such term as “mānuṣi” or “mānuṣin” has been found in any Sanskrit text. The term “mānuṣī” would refer to a female human, while the term “manuṣya” refers to a human without distinction of gender. As the term here is meant to represent “human” without indication of gender, we have opted to use the proper Sanskrit term for that designation. |

We have corrected the diacritic placemnt to the ablative case. |

Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (परब्रह्म). “Parabrahma” is a compound of two terms: para+brahman, declined in the neuter singular. “brahmam” is the neuter nominative/accusative singular of “brahma”; however, “brahma” is simply the iic (beginning of a compound) form of the undeclined stem “brahman,” and thus “brahmam” is not something one would find in accurate Sanskrit; it is a misspelling common to early theosophical literature. In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are as a declined compound, “parabrahma,” or as two declined terms “param brahma.” The term in its undeclined form “parabrahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”); we have chosen to do the same here, and have thus changed all instances to “parabrahma.” |

Brahmam, or Brahm, |
Brahma |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (ब्रह्म). H.P.B. was here giving two different forms in which the same term was being spelled in her time. “Brahm” reflects that in northern India it is common to eliminate the final “a” at the end of such terms, for instance “yog” instead of “yoga,” hence “brahm” instead of “brahma.” “Brahmam” would be the neuter nominative/accusative singular of “brahma”; however, “brahma” is simply the iic (beginning of a compound) form of the undeclined stem “brahman,” and thus “brahmam” is not something one would find in accurate Sanskrit; it is a misspelling common to early theosophical literature. In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are the neuter declined “brahma,” and the masculine declined “brahmā”; the undeclined form is “brahman.” “Brahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”). In the present instance, we have decided to eliminate the mispelling “brahmam” and correct the spelling “brahm” to include the final “a”; this also matches the source from which HPB was quoting. |

In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are as a declined compound, “parabrahma,” or as two declined terms “param brahma.” The term in its undeclined form “parabrahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”); we have chosen to do the same here, and have thus changed all instances to “parabrahma.” Occurred three times in this footnote. |

Lanoo [lanu?] |
Added suggested transliteration. Possible etymologies include the Nepalese “lānu” (लानु), “to take away, to bring, to carry” (see Praśna Upaniṣad and elsewhere, where disciples carry/bring firewood to the guru to be accepted); or the Sinhalese “lanu” (ලනු), “strings, cords, lines, ropes,” see Voice of the Silence, p. 56, “Disciples may be likened to the strings of the soul-echoing Vīṇā”; or Chinese “lǎnú” (喇奴, this would be a kind of hybrid Chinese-Tibetan term, with “lǎ” as the phonetic of the Tibetan “bla” (བླ), as in “Lama,” and “nú,” which means “slave, servant,” a Chinese equivalent to the Sanskrit cela (chela). Note also that the Tibetan for “chela” is “lobma” (སློབ་མ་), which appears to be the closest term in that language. These are all speculative and given here only as suggestions for further research. |

In the originals of Newton’s statement he does in fact use the term “æther”; it is only later authors, when quoting him, who changed “æther” to “ether.” HPB, finding Newton’s quote in the writings of such later writers, imagined (quite naturally) that they were quoting him correctly. See, for instance, Alexander Winchell, World-Life, or Comparative Geology, 1883, p. 51. For the original, see: Isaac Newton, “An Hypothesis explaining the Properties of Light discoursed in my several Papers,” Dec. 7, 1675 (Register Book, Vol. 5, p. 65); copy found in History of the Royal Society, Vol. 3, 1757, pp. 250, 251. |

Parabrahmam |
Parabrahma |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (परब्रह्म). “Parabrahma” is a compound of two terms: para+brahman, declined in the neuter singular. “brahmam” is the neuter nominative/accusative singular of “brahma”; however, “brahma” is simply the iic (beginning of a compound) form of the undeclined stem “brahman,” and thus “brahmam” is not something one would find in accurate Sanskrit; it is a misspelling common to early theosophical literature. In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are as a declined compound, “parabrahma,” or as two declined terms “param brahma.” The term in its undeclined form “parabrahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”); we have chosen to do the same here, and have thus changed all instances to “parabrahma.” |

Sankara |
Śaṅkara |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit. (शङ्कर). . The term is technically spelled “śaṃkara” (शंकर). In Sanskrit, ṃ (अं, anusvara) indicates a nasal that takes on the point of pronunciation of the consonant which follows it, thus, in this case, “ṃ” become phonetically “ṅ” and this manner of spelling the name has become common, though the spelling using “ṃ” is technically the correct form. |

Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit. In the original text the term is declined in the neuter (brahma), not the masculine (brahmā) form of brahman (ब्रह्मन्).

Note: we have left the text of the Stanzas of Dzyan as they are found in the 1888 first edition, with the exception of updated spellings for known terms. The text of the Stanzas varies between the summary here (starting on p. 27) and where they are found within the commentaries. Most often these are simple typographical or grammatical differences which do not change the meaning, but occassionally the difference is significant. These differences have been left as is, for now. We are currently working on a “Critical Edition” of the English translation of the Stanzas of Dzyan and will link to that when complete. |

Corrected reference. The reference to “comment. II” is evidently a carry over from a MS. version of the SD. In the Würzburg MS., the comment explaining the Nidānas is comment (2) (see p. 151). These numbered comments were later changed to lettered comments, i.e. (a), (b), (c), etc., but evidently the reference here to “comment II” was mistakenly left unchanged. |

Dhyan-Chohans |
Dhyāni-Chohans |
This is a compound term unique to modern theosophy. The first part is the Sanskrit “dhyānin,” here changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (ध्यानिन्); the second part appears to be a compound of two Tibetan terms (ཆོས and མཁན), in Wylie transliteration “chos” and “mkhan” and in THL Simplified Phonetic Transcription “chö” and “khen.” As the latter terms are not verified, and debate still exists as to the etymology of the theosophical term “chohan,” we have chosen to leave the spelling as is. |

Dhyanis |
Dhyānis |
Changed to anglicized plural of the proper IAST Sanskrit (ध्यानिन्). The correct spelling, in the singular, is “dhyānin,” but in English writings such Sanskrit terms are often given in their singular nominative case, and pluralized from there (i.e. yogī instead of yogin); in this case, the singular nominative masculine is “dhyānī” and neuter is “dhyāni”; the anglicized plural is thus given as “dhyānīs” or “dhyānis.” |

Rhys Davids and others and even into Monier-William’s Sanskrit-English Dictionary, from which it has come into common use even today, but no such compound term has been found in any Sanskrit text. The term is, however, a proper Sanskrit compound by the rules of Sanskrit grammar (dhyānin + buddha = dhyānibuddha), hence we have simply corrected the diacritic use and left the term as is. |

Svâbhâvat |
Svabhāvāt |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit. (स्वभावात्, ablative declension of स्वभाव). This term is given with mistaken diacritic placement in the SD. The diacritic placement used by HPB prior to the SD is consistently the ablative case of the word “svabhāva,” in which the spelling and diacritic placement is “svabhāvāt” (see, for instance, Isis Unveiled 2:264, which when quoted in SD 1:3 is given with altered diacritic placement). We have corrected the diacritic placemnt to the ablative case. |

Parabrahm |
Parabrahma |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (परब्रह्म). “Parabrahma” is a compound of two terms: para+brahman, declined in the neuter singular. In northern India it is common to eliminate the final “a” at the end of such terms, for instance “yog” instead of “yoga”; hence “prabrahm” instead of “parabrahma.” In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are as a declined compound, “parabrahma,” or as two declined terms “param brahma.” The term in its undeclined form “parabrahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”); we have chosen to do the same here, and have thus changed all instances to “parabrahma.” Occurred twice on this page. |

Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit. (श्री शङ्कराचार्य). The term is technically spelled “śaṃkarācārya” (शंकराचार्य). In Sanskrit, ṃ (अं, anusvara) indicates a nasal that takes on the point of pronunciation of the consonant which follows it, thus, in this case, “ṃ” become phonetically “ṅ” and this manner of spelling the name has become common, though the spelling using “ṃ” is technically the correct form. |

Parabrahm |
Parabrahma |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (परब्रह्म). “Parabrahma” is a compound of two terms: para+brahman, declined in the neuter singular. In northern India it is common to eliminate the final “a” at the end of such terms, for instance “yog” instead of “yoga”; hence “prabrahm” instead of “parabrahma.” In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are as a declined compound, “parabrahma,” or as two declined terms “param brahma.” The term in its undeclined form “parabrahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”); we have chosen to do the same here, and have thus changed all instances to “parabrahma.” Occurred twice on this page. |

This is a compound term unique to modern theosophy. The first part is the Sanskrit “dhyānin,” here changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (ध्यानिन्); the second part appears to be a compound of two Tibetan terms (ཆོས and མཁན), in Wylie transliteration “chos” and “mkhan” and in THL Simplified Phonetic Transcription “chö” and “khen.” As the latter terms are not verified, and debate still exists as to the etymology of the theosophical term “chohan,” we have chosen to leave the spelling as is. |

See: Albert Schwegler, Handbook of the History of Philosophy, trans. J. H. Stirling, 1867, pp. 28 and 262 et seq. |
Reformatted reference; added additional page reference. The reference to p. 28 is where Schwegler discusses Anaxagoras’s approach to “nous,” which is what HPB was discussing on p. 51; however this footnote is located after HPB discusses Fichte’s approach to the “Absolute” or “first principle,” which is discussed later in Schwegler’s book, beginning on p. 262. We’ve thus added this second page number to the reference. |

Changed to anglicized plural of the proper IAST Sanskrit (ध्यानिबुद्ध). The term “dhyāni-buddha” was first used by Brian Hodgson, then adopted by Emil Schlagintweit, T. W. Rhys Davids and others and even into Monier-William’s Sanskrit-English Dictionary, from which it has come into common use even today, but no such compound term has been found in any Sanskrit text. The term is, however, a proper Sanskrit compound by the rules of Sanskrit grammar (dhyānin + buddha = dhyānibuddha), hence we have simply corrected the diacritic use and left the term as is. |

The term “mānuṣī” would refer to a female human, while the term “manuṣya” refers to a human without distinction of gender. As the term here is meant to represent the “human buddhas,” we have opted to use the proper Sanskrit term for that designation, thus “manuṣya-buddha.” |

Added suggested reference. The reference to a “foot-note to Stanza III.” is evidently a carry over from a MS. version of the SD. In the Würzburg MS., this reference is already present (see p. 155, fn 151), but none of the footnotes to Stanza III. seem to match the subject matter referred to. The subject matter treated of in the commentary on p. 62, under (b), closely matches what we would expect to be referred to. We therefore add this reference within square brackets. |

Parabrahmam |
Parabrahma |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (परब्रह्म). Occurred four times in this footnote. “Parabrahma” is a compound of two terms: para+brahman, declined in the neuter singular. “brahmam” is the neuter nominative/accusative singular of “brahma”; however, “brahma” is simply the iic (beginning of a compound) form of the undeclined stem “brahman,” and thus “brahmam” is not something one would find in accurate Sanskrit; it is a misspelling common to early theosophical literature. In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are as a declined compound, “parabrahma,” or as two declined terms “param brahma.” The term in its undeclined form “parabrahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”); we have chosen to do the same here, and have thus changed all instances to “parabrahma.” |

Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit. (स्वभावात्, ablative declension of स्वभाव). Occurred twice on this page. This term is given with mistaken diacritic placement in the SD. The diacritic placement used by HPB prior to the SD is consistently the ablative case of the word “svabhāva,” in which the spelling and diacritic placement is “svabhāvāt” (see, for instance, Isis Unveiled 2:264, which when quoted in SD 1:3 is given with altered diacritic placement). We have corrected the diacritic placemnt to the ablative case. |

Brahmam |
Brahma |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (ब्रह्म). “Brahmam” would be the neuter nominative/accusative singular of “brahma”; however, “brahma” is simply the iic (beginning of a compound) form of the undeclined stem “brahman,” and thus “brahmam” is not something one would find in accurate Sanskrit; it is a misspelling common to early theosophical literature. In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are the neuter declined “brahma,” and the masculine declined “brahmā”; the undeclined form is “brahman.” “Brahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”). |

In northern India it is common to eliminate the final “a” at the end of such terms, for instance “yog” instead of “yoga”; hence “prabrahm” instead of “parabrahma.” In Sanskrit texts, the common forms given are as a declined compound, “parabrahma,” or as two declined terms “param brahma.” The term in its undeclined form “parabrahman” falls under the same general approach as “karman” or “dharman,” both of which are commonly given in their neuter singular declined forms (“karma” and “dharma”); we have chosen to do the same here, and have thus changed all instances to “parabrahma.” |

Dhyan-Chohans |
Dhyāni-Chohans |
This is a compound term unique to modern theosophy. The first part is the Sanskrit “dhyānin,” here changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (ध्यानिन्); the second part appears to be a compound of two Tibetan terms (ཆོས and མཁན), in Wylie transliteration “chos” and “mkhan” and in THL Simplified Phonetic Transcription “chö” and “khen.” As the latter terms are not verified, and debate still exists as to the etymology of the theosophical term “chohan,” we have chosen to leave the spelling as is. |

In Sanskrit, ṃ (अं, anusvara) indicates a nasal that takes on the point of pronunciation of the consonant which follows it, thus, in this case, “ṃ” become phonetically “ṅ” and this manner of spelling the name has become common, though the spelling using “ṃ” is technically the correct form. |

Dhyāni-Buddhas |
Changed to anglicized plural of the proper IAST Sanskrit (ध्यानिबुद्ध). The term “dhyāni-buddha” was first used by Brian Hodgson, then adopted by Emil Schlagintweit, T. W. Rhys Davids and others and even into Monier-William’s Sanskrit-English Dictionary, from which it has come into common use even today, but no such compound term has been found in any Sanskrit text. The term is, however, a proper Sanskrit compound by the rules of Sanskrit grammar (dhyānin + buddha = dhyānibuddha), hence we have simply corrected the diacritic use and left the term as is. |

See Commentary No. 1 to this Stanza [see from paragraph break on page 65]. |
Added suggested reference. The reference to a “Commentary No. 1” is evidently a carry over from a MS. version of the SD. In the Würzburg MS., this reference is already present (see p. 162, fn 161), and is evidently meant to point to the first numbered comment on the Stanza (p. 165). In the printed edition the numbering of Stanza commentaries was changed to letters and counted a, b, c, etc. after each Sloka, whereas in the Würzburg MS. the counting is numbered consecutively from the beginning to end of the Stanza. Comment No. 1 begins “The “Mundane Egg” is, perhaps, one of the most universally adopted symbols . . .” and in the printed edition, this is found on p. 65 in the commentary to Sloka 3. We have added a suggested reference to this paragraph. |

Corrected to proper Greek transliteration, based on ALA-LC (Δίς); added common spelling in square brackets for clarity. HPB is here referencing Cory, Ancient Fragments, 1832, p. 314, where Cory, in translating Damascius’ Problems and Solutions Concerning First Principles, Chapter 123, gives the Greek Δία as “Dis.” Δία (Día) is either the accusative singular declension of Ζεύς (Zeús), or a declined form of Δίας (Días), itself an alternative form of Ζεύς (Zeús). Δίς (Dís) is an old nominative form of Zeús. See original Greek sources and Lexicon in the reference links. For a modern translation, see Sara Ahbel-Rappe, Damascius' Problems and Solutions Concerning First Principles, p. 416. |

ילד |
ילד [or ילדה, yaldāh] |
Added the feminine form and its proper Hebrew transliteration, based on ISO 259, in square brackets (יַלְדָּה). H.P.B. gives the masculine form ילד (yeleḏ), whereas the feminine form is the proper Hebrew for the romanized “ilda” (or ialda, or yalda). While both terms in the compound are feminine, Ilda-baoth is typically referred to as a “son”, therefore we have left the masculine term as is. See also Isis Unveiled, 2:183 |

ביוץ [biyūṣ] |
Corrected Hebrew spelling, and added proper Hebrew transliteration, based on ISO 259, in square brackets. (בִּיוּץ). See also Isis Unveiled, 2:183 Note: the correct Hebrew term for “egg” is ביצה [bēṣāh], whereas ביוץ means “ovulation”. The latter is most likely the term H.P.B. sent to the printers in her MS., as it would be easy for a non Hebrew speaker to visually mistake the letter י for the letter ד if written by hand. Also, the term ביוץ, pronounced “biyutz,” is more closely connected to the pronunciation of the term “baoth”, with its pronouniation of “ba’ot” or “bo’oot”. See also the Hindi term “bahut” and the Sanskrit “bahu”. |

By context, it is clear that HPB is referring not to the “Nominalists” but to “Noumenalists.” Nominalism is a philosophy which denies the existence of universals, whereas Noumenalism (which, in HPB’s context, we may perhaps identify with Platonic Realism or Idealism) is a philosophy which supports the existence of universals. |

HPB is here referencing Cory, Ancient Fragments, 1832, p. 314, where Cory, in translating Damascius’ Problems and Solutions Concerning First Principles, Chapter 123, gives the Greek Δία as “Dis.” Δία (Día) is either the accusative singular declension of Ζεύς (Zeús), or a declined form of Δίας (Días), itself an alternative form of Ζεύς (Zeús). Δίς (Dís) is an old nominative form of Zeús. See original Greek sources and Lexicon in the reference links. For a modern translation, see Sara Ahbel-Rappe, Damascius' Problems and Solutions Concerning First Principles, p. 416. |

Maha-Atma |
Mahā-Ātmā |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (महात्मा or महा-आत्मा). In the original source, the Sanskrit given is “Mahān Ātmā,” but HPB merges these together into a hyphenated compound (see also Isis, p. xxxiv). This hyphenated compound is the same as “mahātmā,” but with the meaning of “Great Soul of the World” as opposed to “a Great Soul,” as is the more common use of the term in Theosophy. We have thus kept HPB’s hyphenation in order to mark this distinction. |

The text Lévi gives under this title is drawn from Hebrew works, see for instance Sanhedrin 38b.2; the title, spelled “Nuctemeron,” appears to be Lévi’s title and not a title native to the Hebrew texts. We have thus removed the italics and added quotation marks to indicate Lévi’s chapter title, rather than give the appearance of this being a proper book or manuscript under that title. |

The Nuctameron of Apollonius of Tyana |
The Nychthēmeron of Apollonius of Tyana |
Changed to proper Greek transliteration, based on ALA-LC (νυχθήμερον). HPB is here referring to a chapter in Éliphas Lévi’s book Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie. Lévi himself refers back to two earlier sources for a MS. under this title. The Greek text can be found in the second of his referenced sources (see reference links). Thus, while the Hebrew “Nuctemeron” given by Lévi does not refer to a MS. under that title, in this case it does seem to refer back to an early MS. We thus leave the italics to reflect a book title. |

Mahâ=Atma |
Mahā-Ātmā |
Changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (महात्मा or महा-आत्मा). In the original source, the Sanskrit given is “Mahān Ātmā,” but HPB merges these together into a hyphenated compound (see also Isis, p. xxxiv). This hyphenated compound is the same as “mahātmā,” but with the meaning of “Great Soul of the World” as opposed to “a Great Soul,” as is the more common use of the term in Theosophy. We have thus kept HPB’s hyphenation in order to mark this distinction. |

“China Revealed” (McClatchey) |
“Confucian Cosmogony” (McClatchie) |
Corrected mistaken reference; corrected spelling of name. HPB is here drawing from Hargrave Jennings’s Phallicism: Celestial and Terrestrial, 1884, but Jennings misquotes the source of his McClatchie quote—Jennings gives it as China Revealed, but no such book or article exists. Jennings himself was referring back to J. G. R. Forlong’s Rivers of Life, 1883, where Forlong gives the source of the quote as: China Rev. Nov. and Dev. 1872, and Sept and Oct. 1875; cf. Art. Conf. Cosmog., p. 93. Evidently Jennings mistook China Rev. as China Revealed, whereas it is actually the China Review magazine. It is the latter part of Forlong’s reference which gives us the proper page of the quote HPB uses. Thus the proper reference for the quote is: Rev. Thomas McClatchie, “Confucian Cosmogony,” China Review, Vol. 4, 1875, p. 93. |

Theodoret says that the Samaritans pronounced it Ίαβέ [Íabé] (Yahva), and the Jews Ίά [Íá] [or Ἰαὼ, Iaṑ] (Yaho). |
Added proper Greek terms; added proper Greek transliterations, based on ALA-LC, in square brackets (Ίαβέ and Ίά); moved HPB’s renderings into brackets. See also SD 2:465 and Isis 2:301. HPB most likely drew this quote from C. W. King, The Gnostics and their Remains, 1887, p. 319. However, when King quotes from Theodoret he actually uses a spelling drawn from Diodorus (Ἰαὼ) rather than the spelling found in Theodoret (Ίά). It is the Diodorus spelling that we find in the SD here (Yaho). We have therefore added the Greek as per both Theodoret and Diodorus, along with their transliterations, and we have left HPB’s renderings of the words as is, but moved them both into brackets. |

Chaldaic verb הֲוָא or הֲוָה, eua [hăwā] (eva) or eue [hăwāh] (Eva), “to be.” |
Changed to proper Chaldean verb forms; added transliteration, based on Hebrew ISO 259, in square brackets. See Gesenius’ Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon. Changed the double-underline to bolded text. In Hebrew lettering diacritics for vowels (called niqqūḏ) are often shown below the letters, including the vowel sign “paṯaḥ”, which displays as a single underline. Hence, using a double-underline to emphasize a Hebrew letter, which was done in the original edition, may be misleading. We have thus dropped the double-underline and utilized bolded text to emphasize the characters here. In addition to this, the romanizations “eue” and “eua” are mixed up: “eua” ought to be for הֲוָא and “eue” for הֲוָה; these have thus been corrected (see Parkhurst’ Hebrew Lexicon, p. 111, and Kavanagh’s Myths Traced to Their Primary Source Through Language, p. 127.). |
