With apologies for cross-posting.  Also, I believe the date for consideration of applications should read as July 15, 2005, not 2006.

Dear Members,
 
It is very sad that on 2nd July 2005, Dr.B.N.K.Sharma - one of the  great indologists passed away. He was an erudite and athentic scholar of Dvaita Vedanta who published more than 20 publications on the Dvaita Philosophy and authored hundreds of research papers. For the first time in the history he wrote the history of Dvaita vedanta.This is for the information of our Vednatin members of this list.
 
Let us pay homage to him and rememer his services.
 
regards,
srivara.

Quoting  j_e_m_houben at YAHOO.COM:

dears
BNK Sharmas works include

1. History of Dvaita school of vedanta and its literature (MLBD)
2. Philosophy of Madhvacharya (MLBD)
3. Brahmasutras and their commentaries (three volumes) (MRML)
4. Madhva's aupanishadam darshanam (DVSRF)
5. Brhadaranyaka upanishad as expounded by Madhva (DVSRF)
6. Madhva's Gitabhasya (ABMM)
7. Advaitasiddhi Vs Nyayamrta (AP, ABMM)
8. Mahatatparya of Mahavakyas (AP, ABMM)
9. Madhava's teaching in his own words (BVB)
10. Nyaysudha (english rendering in three volumes)etc.

brief biography of Dr. Sharma
He was from the family of court pandits of former kochin state. after studying in Kumbhakonam he joined presidency college and became lecturer in annamalai university from 1931-1942. He served several institutions in various capacities and later joined Ruparel college bombay as head and professor of Sanskrit and ardhamagadhi 1953-1969. 

He was honoured with awards like central sahitya academy award for book no. 1., Govt of india president's certificate of honour, vidyamanya prasasti, vyasa pitha prasasti, and also Mahamahopadhyaya of Rashtriya sanskrit vidyapeetha tirupati etc. 

He was very much in touch with Karl Potter, stafford betty, Jose pereira etc.

His role in study and research is very well known fact that he was one original trio which started writing in english on dvaita vedanta i.e. R. Nagara sharma, BNK Sharma and KT Pandurangi. He is a role model for the wrest of folk who today write in english like me etc.

Dear Sunil,
the online Bibliography of Asian Studies (publsihed by the
Association for Asian Studies) is a rich source of citations for
journal articles, books, and chapters in edited volumes and
festschrifts, on this topic. For example, a quick browse on subject
"India-Politics & Government-International Relations-Japan" yields
39 articles. A subject browse on "Japan-Politics &
Government-International Relations-India" yields 18 more. A simple
boolean keyword search on "India AND Japan" yields 955 citations.
Limiting the latter to subjects in history narrows that down to 100
citations. A couple of examples of these:

Title: "The icon of Japan in nationalist revolutionary discourse in
India, 1890-1910."

Author: Bose, A.C.
Title: "Japan and the Indian nationalists: 1901-41"
Indian Historical Review (New Delhi) 12, nos.1-2 (Jul-Jan
1985-1986). Pp. 328-337.

As a reference librarian, I use the BAS online all the time to
answer queries of this sort. At Portland Community College, you may
have access to the BAS via the subscriptions held by Portland State
University or University of Oregon. (Lewis & Clark State College
and Reed College are also subscribers). Otherwise, your own library
could subscribe, since it is an inexpensive database subscription.
Individual subscriptions are also available. More info on BAS is

Dear Allan,

as regards the production of such yellow 
(as well as blue-black) types of paper -- often the 
paper is actually treated only on one side -- one 
should not forget Nepal. 
(We have got quite a few of such MSS in the 
Royal Library of Copenhagen). And with regard to
 the traditional production of paper in Nepal there 
exists an excellent study:

Jesper TRIER
Ancient paper of Nepal?:?Results of ethnotechnological 
field work on its manufacture, uses and history - with 
technical analyses of bast, paper and manuscripts.
Copenhagen 1972
(Jysk Ark?ologisk Selskabs skrifter?;?10)

(A search in e.g. the Virtual Karlsruhe library may 
show you where the book is available)


According to Trier's descriptions the traditional production 
of paper proceeded somewhere in the forests close to 
where the raw materials were at hand. Hence, if this is 
still the case, fresh samples might only be available on 
the market places of some Nepalese towns.

Best regards,

Hartmut

I am curious about this, since it had been my impression that it was 
not easy to produce paper in Tibet itself, and I had been told--but 
maybe this refers only to a more modern period--that if one wanted a 
book printed, one had to provide one's own paper, and then of course 
pay for printing (donations, tea, etc.).  Was there paper production 
in Tibet proper in historical periods?

Dear Jonathan,

Yes, there was a Tibetan paper industry. Historico-legendary sources
attribute its beginnings to the era of Srong btsan sgam po,
but this is not credible. It is possible, however, that there
was some low level production during the later imperial period --
8th - 9th cent. In any event, I have found proof positive
of a relatively well-developed paper industry in Kong po (SE Tibet)
beginning not later than the mid-12th c. Manuscript colophons
of that period sometimes make precise ref. to Kong po as the
source of the paper used. Because, however, this was always
a cottage industry, there was no distribution or sales network.
One had to commission paper for one's own use. This was still the
case in rural Nepal when I lived there in the 70s-80s. To print
books from blocks at most places in the region, one had to arrange
paper and ink, and often also bring one's own printer! Only
a few monasteries printed quantities of books for sale.

One should note, too, that traditional paper production
has been revived at the Derge Printery in Kham (Sichuan).
Recent Chinese publications about the printery specifically 
laud the paper's insecticide properties.

The first of the two listings was filmed for SAMP (South Asia Microform

only Tulsidas Ramcharitmanas at the BL from the 1830s.  The source of

I would be grateful for information about a copy of the Tulsi 
Ramayana that was shown to me yesterday.  It is a book of Western 
type, nicely bound with what the owner, a bookbinder, recognizes as a 
typical Indian binding.  The spine has RAMAYANA in gold lettering in 
Roman script.  The paper is heavy, and watermarked MCE 1830.  The 
text is in a Devanagari script so small and neat that the owner is 
convinced that it must be printed.  I am almost equally convinced 
that it is handwritten.

Is anyone familiar with books of this type?  For that matter, when 
was the first printed edition of this work produced?

If it would be helpful, I will try to take a photograph.

Valerie,

I find that lithographed books from India often look as much like mss as like books printed from moveable type.  I think it is not just that the graphemes are somewhat less regular, but that the ink-paper interface (w.w.?) is different from letterpress. Graham Shaw at the British Library has done a study of lithography in India and is still collecting material on it.  Have you shown it to him?  

It is possible, also, that under the inspiration of moveable type books the scribe was particularly careful to be very regular, more so than traditionally the best scribes would be.  I have in my own library an ed. of the Bhagavatapurana published in Pune in the 1970s or 1980s made by a brahmacari by hand and reproduced by photo-offset. You would think it was letterpress, all the more so since the same decorative frame was around the text on each page, done on a transparency and then photographed along with the text.

Hindi Database

The Department of Modern South Asian Studies, South Asia Institute, University
of Heidelberg, has launched the project of a Hindi Database (Hindi literature of
all periods and Hindi Internet material). The project is funded by the German
Research Society (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and has been running since
autumn 2004. 
The first phase of the project will run through 2006, to be probably extended
into 2007. We seek to convert it into a permanent project. For the period after
mid-2007 we envisage re-launching it as an international project and would also
want to apply jointly with our partners for support by international funding
bodies. This in mind, we invite scholars and institutions interested in corpus
linguistics to share in our project. 
The database can easily be modified to also accommodate other South Asian
languages besides Hindi.

If you are going to have digital photograps made anew, have a 
couple made of a very clean page with the light source at a very 
low angle to see if there is any visible texture.  That would be the

On Epic Sanskrit see now: 
Thomas Oberlies
A Grammar of Epic Sanskrit
Berlin-New York: Walter de Gruyter, 2003.

J. Brockington wrote a few articles which
appeared in the Journal of the Oriental Institute
Baroda, vols. 19 (two articles) and 31 (one
article). Collection of his articles in: Epic
Threads, ed. by G. Bailey and M. Brockington,
Delhi 2000.

Cf. also 
J. Brockington, The Sanskrit Epics. Leiden: E.J.
Brill, 1998. 

Still controversial is the thesis of L. van
Daalen that Vaalmiiki's Sanskrit was originally
highly "sa.msk.rta" but became epicized
("irregular") in the course of the transmission
[this is my own formulation]. This is the inverse
of the view at the basis of the Baroda critical
edition. 
See van Daalen's: 
Vaalmiiki's Sanskrit, Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1980. 
According to van Daalen's thesis the southern
manuscripts should not be given greater weight as
is done by the editors of the critical edition;
instead the northern manuscripts, minus additions
(books I and VII) and minus insertions
(characterized by significant numbers of
"irregularities") come closer to Vaalmiiki's
original in "chaste" sanskrit. 
The problem in van Daalen's thesis is: how to
characterize "correct" and "irregular" without
making Paa.nini into the decisive standard (since
it cannot be assumed that in Vaalmiiki's time
"correct" meant "in all details paa.ninian").

There are some excellent studies of the language of the Ramayana:
 
Oberlies, T. 2003 'Grammar of Epic Sanskrit'. Indian Philology and South Asian Studies, vol. 5.Berlin/New York, Walter de Gruyter.
 
Satya Vrat. 1964 The Ramayana - a Linguistic Study. Delhi, Munshiram Manoharlal.
 
Michelson 1904 Linguistic Archaisms of the Ramayana. Journal of the American Oriental Society 25: pp89-145
 
I hope these help.

I discussed some of these issues (in response to van Daalen) in "The 
Original Language of the Ramayana", WZKS 29, 1985, 57-68.

In general Prof. Salomon's contributions on
vernacular sanskrit are of the greatest value but
they may not necessarily apply equally to all
"pre-" or "un-classical" works, especially in
view of the linguistic continuum of high standard
language (Sanskrit) and numerous degrees of
approximation apparently existing side by side
throughout the history of Sanskrit. Cf. some of
my observations in my "Socio-linguistic attitudes
reflected in the work of Bhart.rhari and later
Grammarians." In: Ideology and Status of Sanskrit
(ed. J. Houben): 157-193. Leiden: E.J. Brill,
1996.

See also van Daalen's response: 
Wiener Zeitschrift f?r die Kunde S?dasiens, vol.
XXXIII (1989): 25-43 "Is Vaalmiiki's Sanskrit a
specimen of vernacular Sanskrit?"
In: 
"Two notes on Raamaaya.na textual criticism" in
Adyar Library Bulletin 50 (1986): 402-417.
van Daalen applies his method to the Aadiparvan
of the Mahaabhaarata and finds that, in contrast
with the Raamaaya.na, the "irregular" (i.e.,
non-standard) forms are here "much better
anchored". 

The current availability of electronic versions
could be a starting point for new studies on the
problem of standard/non-standard forms in the two
epics, and of the corruption vs. polishing
theories, making use of van Daalen's method (with
due modifications). 

The issue was further addressed in S. Pollock's
contribution/introduction in vol.s I-II-III of
the Raamaaya.na translation (ed. R.P. Goldman).
