Query: materials for refutation of 'sabdanityatva

[LGoehler at aol.com]

Dear Ms Kellner


  it may be possible that the discussion of ZabdanityatA was not continued at
all after KumArila. Himself he considered the topic of utmost importance. But
he made clear that the controversy was about different things: The
:NaiyAyika's considered zabda as sound. But in :MImAMsA it meant quite a
another thing. In that sense a refutation of zabdanityatA would hardly make
any sense.  A good representation of this is still Emil Abegg: Die Lehre von
der Ewigkeit des Wortes bei Kumarila. In: Antidoron Festschrift fuer Jacob
Wackernagel. Goettingen 1923
  If you should come across later NyAya texts that discuss this I will be
interested to get to know them viz. to read your article on that topic.

But the compiled program searches the file "skt.opt" in the path you have to
specify in the source code. This, however, may vary. So, in a precompiled
version you have to work always in the directory where your *.skt files are
located. Else the program "skt" will end in an error message longing for
your input where to find skt.opt. The result may be that you have everywhere
"skt.opt" files. The problem becomes even worse if you consider a DOS system
in a network where you have to consider different disk drives.

I think the program distribution with the source code is the best solution
to face these problems.
