Dear Indologists,


It has been reported that there is a Pancagni Tapa Paravati sculpture in Gwalior Fort temple in which Parvati is shown with a lion and blackbuck as in many Durg? sculptures in Tamil Nadu. I would appreciate very much if anybody with a picture of the same could send me a scan online or offline.


Thanks in advance.

Palaniappan

I already had this one sometime ago. One has to download each letter-volume. But this is quite reader-friendly.Perhaps, the frequent updating of adobe often renders the many other online editions? difficult to use or time consuming. I gave up the some others after some attempts.
Many help seekers must have been silent ones like me and also thankful for the information received.. Once I contemplated buying Malalasekhara's work. Now I find that unnecessary.

Thank you very much!


I am translating a note in Tamil by Dr. Dayalan of Archaeological Survey of India. "There is a temple carved out of a monolith in the Gwalior fort. This temple is called Caturbhuja temple. In the four agni ku??as in this temple two contain the sculptures of Pa?c?gni Tapa P?rvat?. These four ku??as along with the sun are together called pa?c?gni. In the North Indian region in the temple art of the Mauryas and Pratih?ras, this type of P?rvat? figure will be shown in sitting or standing postures. Near the Pa?c?gni Tapa P?rvat? figure in Gwalior, a lion and a blackbuck are shown as her vehicles. It is noteworthy that this tradition is  shown in many places in Tamil Nadu especially in the Durg? sculptures in Mahabalipuram. Shown with the four hands with varada mudr?, rudr?k?a string, kama??alu, and darbha grass, this figure is related to the agni ku??a." (Aru?miku Periyan?yaki Amma? E??a Vayaln?cciyamma? Tirukk?yil Tirukku?a Na???r???u Vi?? Ci?appu Malar, 2009, p.97)


It is nice to see the lion and blackbuck clearly in the sculpture. I can see the kama??alu clearly too. Is her upper left hand holding the string of rudr?k?a beads? Is her lower right hand holding the darbha grass? Is her broken upper right hand supposed to show the varada mudr??


This sculpture clearly parallels the Tamil Nadu figures showing lion and blackbuck and the date is shown on the picture to be 10th century AD. Since is Suhaniya in Morena District is some distance from Gwalior, I am assuming this sculpture is one that is similar to the Gwalior fort sculpture but not identical. This is indeed very valuable. I am still interested in the Gwalior fort sculpture and its date.


Thanks in advance.

Palaniappan

Dear Computer Wizards:

Here is a problem that, I hope, a wizard out there can solve. I am using a MAC (OS 10.7.3) and trying to type Devan?gar? on "Pages" with the Devanagari-QWERTY keyboard and Tahoma font. It works beautifully, except for a few annoying problems.

1. for the conjunct "?v" and "?v" the Qwerty functions well. I can even write well "?vi" and "?vi". But when these come immediately after another letter, for example "?" or "g" -- the ligature between the two letters break down, and we have "?" with a vir?ma followed by "v". However, if the same conjunct is preceded by TWO letters, the ligature remains intact!! This seems like witchcraft perpetrated on me who need these ligatures preceded by just one letter!!!

2. Another big problem with the Devanagari-QWERTY is the it is unable to form a proper ligature of the guttural nasal "?" and a following "k" or "g", even though it does perfectly the ligature between the nasal and the conduct "k?". Go figure!! 

Any help in overcoming these problems would be deeply appreciated by an ignoramus in Texas.

Thanks.

You are right, this is not the image from the Caturbhuja Temple of the
Gwalior Fort.
This one is displayed in the Museum of the Gwalior Fort.

The rudr?k?a in upper left hand is clear to me.
The vararadamudr? would be shown in lower right hand.
As for the darbha, maybe it was in the upper right hand.

For other P?rvat?s with lion and stag/dear/buck
outside Tamil Nadu, see, as indicated to me by Charlotte
Schmid, fig. 202, 245, and 247 in "Discourse on ?iva" ed.
W. Meister.
On fig. 245, lower right hand varadamudr? is clear and
rudr?k?a is in upper right hand.

I would not correlate these images to the Tamil "Durg?s."
Lion and stag are vehicles of the Tamil Ko??avai.
In the case of our ascetic P?rvat?s, I see them as the usual elements
of a peaceful ??rama, as in the images of the preaching Buddha or of
Dak?i??m?rti.

With best wishes.

Dear Computer Wizards:

Here is a problem that, I hope, a wizard out there can solve. I am using a MAC (OS 10.7.3) and trying to type Devan?gar? on "Pages" with the Devanagari-QWERTY keyboard and Tahoma font. It works beautifully, except for a few annoying problems.

Dear Patrick,

I am not sure about the first problem, but if you would like to get a three letter conjunct (g+?+vi) then I am afraid this might just not be possible on the Mac.

As far as ?+g is concerned, this works in Textedit (preinstalled Mac text editor) after activating the "Additional conjuncts" option in the submenu "Typography" of the ?+T menu. I would suppose in Page should be a similar way to add less frequent compounds, but I don't use this program.

Best wishes,
Sven

Dear Patrick,

the problem is not with the Devanagari-QWERTY keyboard but with the font (Tahoma in your case, but Devanagari-MT would work the same). Each font comes with a definite set of glyphs, i.e. graphic representations of characters and ligatures: Tahoma simply doesn't include the graphic ligatures you wish (e.g. a single grapheme for 'g?v-' or '?k-') and for this reason breaks the ligature using the vir?ma.
In other words, when you type devan?gar? the file you create is made up only by the Unicode codes of the basic (=single) characters: whenever ligatures are involved, the way they are graphically represented depends only on the availability of gliyphs in the font you are using.
I'm sorry but I don't know of any font for Mac that includes the ghlyps you mentioned.

Best,

applications for its Summer School "Seeing Matter(s): Materiality and 
Visuality" to take place at the Karl Jaspers Centre from Sunday, July 
29, to Saturday, August 4, 2012.

This year's Summer School "Seeing Matter(s): Materiality and Visuality" 
will explore the role of visual and material culture in the context of 
transcultural exchange processes between Asia and Europe. In 
highlighting the tensions between visual culture studies, art historical 
approaches and recent material culture studies, the Summer School will 
address questions such as: How can we move "beyond representation" to 
take on images in all their tangibility and material presence? Is "thing 
theory" a site for us to analyse the confluence of materiality and 
visuality? How can we look at images and objects differently when we 
approach them from transdisciplinary and transcultural perspectives? In 
what ways do such perspectives challenge concepts and methods of our own 
disciplines?

Another aim of our Summer School is to address the transgressing 
mobility of images and objects as a key challenge for today's 
Humanities, by tying it to current theoretical debates on this subject 
within various disciplines and testing it in case studies derived from 
the participants' research projects and regions.

The programme is designed to provide stimulating discussions and new 
inspiration for graduate and junior research work, to exchange ideas and 
test methods from individual research projects and to actively engage 
with an international group of peers and senior scholars who share an 
interest in transcultural visuality and materiality. Keynotes will be 
presented by Kenneth George (Anthropology, University of 
Wisconsin-Madison) and Janice Bardsley (Japanese Humanities, University 
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). Invited speakers include Kajri Jain 
(South Asian Visual Culture, University of Toronto Mississauga), Sumathi 
Ramaswamy (History, Duke University), Kavita Singh (Art History, 
Jawaharlal Nehru University), and Paola Zamperini (Asian Languages and 
Civilizations, Amherst College). Contributions from Heidelberg 
University come from Christiane Brosius (Visual and Media Anthropology), 
Monica Juneja (Global Art History), Barbara Mittler (Chinese Studies), 
and Melanie Trede (Japanese Art Histories).

Applications are accepted until April 15, 2012. The application form and 
additional information on fees, scholarships and the programme can be 
found at http://www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de/en/summerschool/

The Cluster's Summer School 2012 is organised by Christiane Brosius 
(Heidelberg) together with Barbara Mittler (Heidelberg) and Sumathi 
Ramaswamy (Duke), coordinators of project B4 "Transcultural Visuality". 
Christiane Brosius holds the Chair of Visual and Media Anthropology at 
the Cluster, Barbara Mittler is Speaker of Research Area B "Public 
Spheres", Sumathi Ramaswamy, Professor of History, is one of the Key 
Partners of the Cluster.

We would appreciate it if you forwarded this information to your 
colleagues and interested students and thank you for your support.

With best wishes
Dr. Alexander Haentzschel, Press Officer

Subject: PuNDarIka sacrifice
Message-ID: <161227095847.23782.11913958862425217611.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

Dear Members of the Indology List,

I recently stumbled on a sacrifice called "puNDarIka-" in a Gupta inscription edited by Fleet (Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum vol. III, No. 59, pp. 252?254, "Bijayagadh Stone Pillar Inscription of Vishnuvardhana").
In this inscription it is said that having performed the "puNDarIka", king ViSNuvardhana erected a yUpa: "kRtau puNDarIke yUpo yam pratiSThApitas [...] zrI ViSNuvarddhanena" (Fleet op. cit. p. 253, l. 3). This post seems to be the stone pillar where this inscription is found and which is shaped like a vedic yUpa, set up on a platform near the south wall of a fort now located at Bayana in the Bharatpur District of Rajasthan.

I cannot see exactly what kind of sacrifice this "puNDarIka" is. It is nowhere to be found in the lexicons devoted to Vedic ritual (Renou 1954, Sen 1978, Mylius 1995), or in fundamental textbooks on ritual like that of Hillebrandt (1897, repr. 1981), or in the section of Kane's Hist. of Dh. devoted to sacrifices and rituals (Vol. II pp. 976?1255). 

The dictionaries (MW, PW) give, among the possible meanings of puNDarIka, "a kind of sacrifice/ein best. Opfer" with references to the MahAbhArata, among which the most significant I could find seems to be: 

MBh 3.13.16 azvamedho rAjasUyaH puNDarIko 'tha gosavaH / etair api mahAyajJair iSTaM te bhUridakSiNaiH. 

There it is said to be a "great sacrifice". In this context this qualification seems to imply that it is a zrauta ritual, as it is mentioned together with other well known zrauta sacrifices described by the ZrautasUtras, most of them regalians, but the ZrautasUtras do not, to my knowledge, describe any kind of puNDarIka rite.

A puNDarIka sacrifice is otherwise mentioned a number of times as bringing some unspecified but usually great reward in the "tIrtha" section of the MBh (3.81?82; e.g. ), where we also learn that there was a "puNDarIka" place of pilgrimage, and that going there rewards the pilgrim with the fruits of a... puNDarIka sacrice (MBh 3.18.69 zuklapakSe dazamyAM tu puNDarIkaM samAvizet, tatra snAtvA naro rAjan puNDarIkaphalaM labhet). 
In this section of the MBh the puNDarIka sacrifice sometimes appears close to, or is contrasted with, the azvamedha, e.g. in MBh 3.82.24ff., or the vAjapeya in a surprising passage where a yUpa appears, but we do not know if it was erected for/as a result of a sacrifice and which kind it could have been:

MBh 3.82.74?75 tato brahmasaro gacched dharmAraNyopazobhitam / pauNDarIkam avApnoti prabhAtAm eva zarvarIm [74] tasmin sarasi rAjendra brahmaNo yUpa ucchritaH / yUpaM pradakSiNa?M kRtvA vAjapeyaphalaM labhet

Another passage of the MBh where puNDarIka and vAjapeya appear side by side is 2.5.89 kratUn ekacitto vAjapeyAMz ca sarvazaH / puNDarIkAMz ca kArtsnyena yatase kartum AtmavAn.

Both MBh 2.5.89 and 3.28.74?75 seem to rule out the possibility that "puNDarIka" may sometimes have been a synonym of "vAjapeya" in the MBh, as I first thought could have been the case. 
The data I have collected so far nevertheless suggest that this "puNDarIka" sacrifce was a zrauta ceremony of some kind, that involved the erection of a yUpa, and thus an animal sacrifice following the Vedic norms.

Could anyone on the list tell me more about this sacrifice? All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Fran?ois,
In his Studies in the Religious Life of Ancient and Medieval India (Delhi
1971), D.C. Sircar mentions at least once a Pau.n.dariika sacrifice (pp.
177-178). Sircar refers to Pulake'sin I, the Caalukya king of Baadaami,
who is "credited with the performance of the Agni.s.toma, Agnicayana,
Vaajapeya, Bahusuvar.na, Pau.n.dariika and A'svamedha sacrifices and the
Hira.nyagarbha-mahaadaana." Among his sources, Sircar refers to Epigraphia
Indica XXVII, p. 8.

This would be nice if the devanagari script could be enlarged (I failed). As it is it is almost illegible - unless you have very good eyesight.

Dear Fran?ois,
It must be the same as pauNDarIka: e.g. .Sa.dvB 4.3.4, K;S 23.5.37;
Hillebrandt does not refer to it particularly but generically under ahIna.
Modern performance: the Pravargya I filmed in Delhi in 1996 (
http://www.jyotistoma.nl/EN/pravargya/Pravargya100Introduction.asx) was
part of a pauNDarIka (11 pressing day) Soma yAga.

Dear Joerg,
The 11 days of the Braahma.na and ;Srauta-suutra sources (and the 1996
performance in Delhi) which I indicated refer to the sutyaa-days
(Soma-pressing days) of the Pau.n.dariika and does not count the
preparatory days (those on which the Diik.saa, Pravargya-Upasad etc. take
place).
Best, Jan

dear Colleagues,

The author, Yasuhiro Sueki, has just informed me of the pdf publication of
his extremely useful bibliography (or meta-bibliography) of Bibliographical
sources for Buddhist studies. In fact, it is now even much more useful than
the printed edition, in particular thanks to the addition of hyperlinks,
both internal cross references and external links to websites.
The resource is now available at the Library

.

Enjoy!  Jonathan Silk

This is very distressing. I have had fruitful contact with the institute since the mid 1960's, and have lectured there on several occasions.  Their scholarly enterprise and hospitality merit the strongest efforts to maintain this valuable institute.  Is it possible for a fund to be set up with contributions from scholars in India and elsewhere?  George

Message-ID: <161227095900.23782.14080815958480554741.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

Indologists--

I have two students who are interested in exploring the male body and the medicalization of masculinity in Indian medical literature.  One is interested in semen specifically, and I know Joseph Alter has written some on this.  Both are interested in how the medical texts make "scientific" the prevailing socio-religious ideologies about the superiority of men and the male body over women and the female body.  One is specifically interested in the Buddhist take on such ideas, especially given the emphasis on detachment from the material body and concepts such as "emptiness."

Any suggestions for good readings suitable for smart undergraduates?

Thanks very much!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Once again I have to ask your help in finding an article. And, again, from the same publication as (once) before, unavailable where I am.
It is: Vi?vambhar?: probings
in orientology (prof. V.S. Pathak festschrift), vol. 2, ed. Ajay
Mitra Shastri, Devendra Handa and C.S. Gupta. New Delhi: Harman Publishing
House.
On p. 278 and 293 there is an article (articles?) talking about inscriptions/graffiti in Khajuraho. I don't know the author or title of the article, this is all what google gives me. :-)
I would be very grateful for a scan!

Message-ID: <161227095912.23782.8435021012970024393.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

In the fragmentary Nanaghat inscription of a Satavahana queen, which lists 
numerous yajn~a and the accompanying daks.in.aa-s, line 9, after a break, 
begins:  ...riko yam.n~o. I guess this must be another reference to the 
Pun.d.ariika sacrifice.,
References: Bu:hler, Archaeological Survey of Western India, v.5, p. 60; 
D.C. Sircar, Select Inscriptions I, p. 194; further refs. on p. 192. Perhaps 
Sircar mentions this in "Studies..." (cited below), as I don't have a copy 
at hand, but he doesn't note it in Select Inscriptions.

The Badami inscription noted below refers only to "as'vadedhaadiyajn~aanaam 
yajvaa," not to the Pun.d.ariika specifically.

Dear Fran?ois,
In his Studies in the Religious Life of Ancient and Medieval India (Delhi
1971), D.C. Sircar mentions at least once a Pau.n.dariika sacrifice (pp.
177-178). Sircar refers to Pulake'sin I, the Caalukya king of Baadaami,
who is "credited with the performance of the Agni.s.toma, Agnicayana,
Vaajapeya, Bahusuvar.na, Pau.n.dariika and A'svamedha sacrifices and the
Hira.nyagarbha-mahaadaana." Among his sources, Sircar refers to Epigraphia
Indica XXVII, p. 8.

Dear George,

A support fund such as you suggest would be grand.

It would take negotiation with the leaders at the KSSRI, of course, and a
knowledge of what they actually may get from the government.

I don't mean to be fanciful in suggesting also that modern crowd-funding
could be relevant here.  If the KSSRI (or one of us speaking for the
institution) could frame something that looked like a finite project, then
it could be put up on Kickstarter <http://www.kickstarter.com/>.  We could
circulate this funding opportunity here in the INDOLOGY list, so that those
willing and able from our community could put something in the pot.  Using
Kickstarter would give a clear framework for the funding, which would be
helpful.

Best,
Dominik

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I would like to share with you information on a book, which I have edited
together with a colleague of mine, Prof. Subrata K. Mitra, on the subject of
re-use in art history and political sciences. It has been published by SAGE
India. Please find the information below:

Re-Use - The Art and Politics of Integration and Anxiety
by? Julia A B Hegewald and Subrata K Mitra (eds.)
February 2012?? 360 pages?? SAGE Publications Pvt. Ltd??
Hardcover ISBN: 9788132106555
?47.50,   $60.00,   Rs?1500



Presented here is a novel approach to understanding the relationship between
the past and the present using the unique concept of re-use, wherein
elements from the past are strategically adapted into the present, and thus
become part of a new modernity. The book uses this method as a heuristic
tool for analyzing and interpreting cultural and political changes and the
transnational flow of ideas, concepts and objects. The chapters apply this
concept to South Asia but the concept of re-use and the method of its
application are both general and amenable to cross-cultural and comparative
analysis.

Re-use is a collection of well-researched and lucidly written scholarly
articles that apply the concept of re-use to different aspects of cultural,
political and material life?from art, architecture and jewelry to religion,
statesmen and legislatures. By not treating artistic, political, religious
and cultural developments as linear evolutions, this book encourages readers
to understand them as a continuous modification of the past and a periodic
return to earlier forms.

Beautifully illustrated with exquisite images, and containing a scholarly
bibliography pointing in the direction of hitherto unexplored terrain, this
new text will be a source of inspiration to the specialist and a source of
delight to the general reader.

ABSTRACT

This book explores the pluralistic epistemological model of a
tenth-century South Asian philosopher and emphasizes the vital role of
critique for establishing pluralism on rational grounds.

The focus of the book is a text section from the Sanskrit work
Satya??sanapar?k??, in which the Jaina scholar Vidy?nandin discusses
tenets of the Vai?e?ika, a brahminical philosophical tradition.
Vidy?nandin refutes the Vai?e?ika tenets by way of a systematic
deconstruction of a key concept in the Vai?e?ika ontological system,
namely, the concept of inherence (samav?ya).
In the first part of the book, Vidy?nandin?s uncompromising criticism of
the Vai?e?ika is taken as an example for philosophical approaches to
competing world views and examined in the context of the classical Jaina
theory of manifoldness (anek?ntav?da). Through the systematic
differentiation of several forms of perspectivism it is shown that
Vidy?nandin?s edifice of thought offers a narrow path between relativism
and dogmatism: It represents a form of epistemic pluralism, in which the
identification of erroneous epistemic alternatives plays a crucial role
for the establishment of valid epistemic alternatives.
The second and third parts of the book contain a critical text and an
extensively annotated translation of the text selection from the
Satya??sanapar?k??. Vidy?nandin?s arguments are examined against the
backdrop of closely related passages from other Sanskrit works of the
classical and medieval periods. The methodical analysis of these passages
and the determination of their place in the argumentation?s structure
allow for the identification of different layers of the text?s composition
and reveal Vidy?nandin?s specific contribution in a discourse that spanned
centuries.

Studia Indologica Universitatis Halensis, Volume 4:

Steiner, Roland (ed.): Highland Philology. Results of a Text-Related  
Kashmir Panel at the 31st DOT, Marburg 2010. Halle (Saale):  
Universit?tsverlag Halle-Wittenberg 2012, pp. 201. ISBN  
978-3-86977-040-6 (Hardbound) 59,- EUR.

http://www.universitaetsverlag-halle-wittenberg.de/english/new-books/highland-philology.html

The announced volume is a collection of textual studies on various  
features of the history and culture of Kashmir. It is mainly based on  
revised versions of lectures delivered at a ?Kashmir panel? held on  
the 22nd of September 2010 at the 31st German Oriental Conference  
(Deutscher Orientalistentag = DOT) in Marburg.

It deals with the transfer of India's sacred geography to the  
highlands of Kashmir in a miniaturized form (Walter Slaje), a  
previously unnoticed recording of an appearance of Halley's Comet in  
Kashmir by the poet-historian ?r?vara (Walter Slaje), the historical  
traces of vocal and instrumental music (sa?g?ta) in Kashmir  
(Advaitavadini Kaul), as well as with the poetical figure bh????le?a  
(simultaneous expression of different meanings in two or more  
languages) as a peculiarity of Kashmiri writers and critics (Michael  
Hahn). Further subjects are the formation of a specifically Kashmiri  
literary genre -- the Kashmiri kath? -- and the development of a  
special style connected to it (Luther Obrock), and the question, when,  
where and why did Bha??a Jayanta write his Ny?yama?jar? (Walter Slaje).

The last four contributions are about different aspects of the  
Mok?op?ya/Yogav?si??ha literature: John Shore?s lost translation of a  
Persian version of the so-called Laghuyogav?si??ha which he already  
wrote in 1784 (J?rgen Hanneder), the special character of the fourth  
book (Sthitiprakara?a) of the Mok?op?ya (Roland Steiner), and the  
meaning of single words (aragha??a, sa?s?racakra, ko?ak?ra) used in  
the Mok?op?ya (Martin Straube). A reply to a review of a partial  
edition of Bh?skaraka??ha?s Mok?op?ya??k? along with general remarks  
on the ?indological culture of debate? (J?rgen Hanneder and Walter  
Slaje) completes the volume.

Kind regards,

Message-ID: <161227095957.23782.16694630027376766541.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

I'm doing some research on the influence of India on the ideas of C.G.
Jung. In his Red Book (Liber Novus) just published (2009) there is an error
of attribution. Plate 45 is cited by Jung (calligraphy at the bottom of the
page) to refer to "Atharva-veda 4.1.4." The translator mistakenly quotes,
from the Bloomfield SBE selection of AV hymns, text from hymn *4.4.1* (a
magical hymn for sexual potency).  The hymn actually listed by Jung (4.1)
is not found in the SBE edition, and concerns Skambha, the prop between
heaven and earth, which seems to fit the painting of a man holding up a
cosmic mandala.  The Whitney AV translation in English was available before
1917 when Jung did the painting, but is quite obscure about this hymn.
Griffith also translated the entire AV, but I do not have this.  My
question is about German translations of the AV text before 1917 that
include a semi-accurate translation of 4.1.4. I make it out to read
something like, "He (Skambha), established in Order, propped apart the
great heaven and earth to be dwelling places (kSema). The Great one as he
was born propped apart the heavenly seat (sadman) and the earthly space."
The painting, as I read it at any rate centers on a (cosmic) egg from which
a serpent is rising to heaven along the axis of a vertical post that is
balanced on the head of a man (Skambha?). It fits the AV 4.1.4 text pretty
well.  So the question is whether there are German translations (or
Griffith's) that say much the same and so could be sources for Jung's
painting. A friend is looking at Jung's library to see what he had. We know
he possessed the 50 volumes of the SBE, but that cannot be the source.
 (Apologize if Jung is too far afield from Indology proper.)

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I would like to share some information with you on a new specialist Jaina
library in Bonn which is open to students and scholar wishing to access the
publications, and on a lecture series on Jaina manuscripts organised to
inaugurate this new research centre.

With best wishes,

Julia Hegewald.


PIANAROSA JAINA LIBRARY, Bonn
The Pianarosa Jaina Library is a specialist collection on Jaina art and
architecture, literature, religion and philosophy. Since 2011, it is housed
in a separate room forming an integral part of the library of the Department
of Asian and Islamic Art History at the University of Bonn. The roughly
1,600 scholarly monographs, edited volumes, traditional Jaina ma- nuscripts
and periodicals in European and Indian languages (e.g. Sanskrit, Hindi,
Gujarati, Kannada etc.) were donated by the family of the late Paolo
Pianarosa (1949 - 2010).

Mr Pianarosa, a specialist librarian from Turin (Italy) worked for the
Soprintendenza Beni Librari della Regione Piemonte. He developed an interest
in Jainism, particularly in Karnataka. He started taking private classes in
Sanskrit in 1983 and continued studying the laguge for the next tweve years.
In the early 1980s, Paolo Pianarosa commenced gathering books on Jaina
subjects and from 2001 visited India regularly.

The more than one and a half thousand publications of the original Pianarosa
private collection have been supplemented by additional books on Jaina art
and architecture from the library of the Department of Asian and Islamic Art
History. Further volumes will join the collection from the Gritli von
Mitterwallner bequest (2012).

The aims of the Pianarosa library are to preserve the present collections,
supplement them with further texts on Jainism and provide easy access for
on-site study to scholars wishing to work with the material. The
bibliographic records of
the growing collection are being catalogued. A full list is available via a
link on the departmental webpage (www.aik. uni-bonn.de).

The Pianarosa Library Bonn will be inaugurated with a lecture series by
international scholars from Germany, Italy, Belgium, France and Great
Britain and opened officially with two scientific presentations and a public
reception by the end of June 2012 (please see information below or back of
flyer for further details).

If you would like further information on the work of the Pianarosa Library,
wish to access the publications or would like to make a book gift or
financial donation to aid the running and enlargement of the library, please
contact the Depart- ment of Asian and Islamic Art History
(aikinfo at uni-bonn.de, 0049-228-73 72 12).

We are striving to further enhance the collections and to make the Pianarosa
Library Bonn one of the world?s most comprehensive research and resource
centres for material on Jaina studies.

Dear Indologists,

Does anyone, by any chance, have access to a better (higher resolution) of this image, that he/she would be willing to allow me to use for publication? 

The stone is at Vijayanagara, near NN z/2

I am in need of this particular hero stone, and I am in Delhi, and not keen to ramble through the weeds at Hampi in April!

I would be MOST grateful for the help. My apologies for cross posting.

Dear Indologists,

Does anyone happen to know where this hero stone is now located? It used to be at the Subramanya Temple, in Mallam, AP, at least it was in 1905 when it was photographed by the ASI. I have been to Mallam, and the stone is gone. I have also looked in the Chennai Museum and the Hyderabad Archaeological Museum, without luck. 

I would be very grateful for any help!

Griffith's translation does not resemble very much the English version you cite. But Whitney helpfully cites all other preceding translations. These were by Ludwig (in vol. III of his Der Rigveda), Deussen (in his Allgemeine Geschichte der Philosophie ...), and Weber (in Indische Studien XVIII). 

Deussen might be the most likely to have fallen into Jung's hands. None of these works are available to me, but I expect one or more of them to be able to exist in some form online. Perhaps one of our colleagues can points us to such online versions.

Deussen should be available from here:

(scroll down).

It is, however, neither unlikely that Jung had access to a copy of

Zimmer, Heinrich (1851-1910)
Altindisches Leben : die Cultur der Vedischen Arier nach den Sa?hit? dargestellt ; 
eine vom vierten Internationalen Orientalistencongress in Florenz gekr?nte Preisschrift /

Online versions are available from here:
http://www.indologica.de/drupal/?q=node/97
(scroll down).

The author of that book was the father of Heinrich Zimmer (1890-1943)
[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Zimmer_%28Indologe%29], who
in the course of time came to be personally acquainted (Eranos, etc.) with Jung.

In recent years there has been a flood of publications purporting to show an
ideological involvement of 'German Indology' with racism, Aryanism,
anti-Semitism and, ultimately, National Socialism. Taking P.
Rabault-Feuerhahn's book L'archive des origines (Paris 2008) as an example,
it is shown here that the evidence put forward in support of such constructs
tends to be flawed or invalid. The main purpose of the present book is not to
disprove the various constructs erected around 'German Indology', but rather
to observe at close range the artifices employed to set them up. 
 
In zahlreichen (insbesondere angloamerikanischen) Ver?ffentlichungen der
letzten Jahre ist versucht worden, eine ideologische Verbindung zwischen
,deutscher Indologie' und Rassismus, Arier-Ideologie, Antisemitismus und
Nationalsozialismus zu ziehen. Am Beispiel von P. Rabault-Feuerhahns Buch
L'archive des origines (Paris 2008) wird hier gezeigt, dass die Beweise, die
f?r eine solche Verbindung vorgebracht werden, durchweg fehlerhaft oder nicht
stichhaltig sind. Hauptanliegen dieses Buches ist nicht, die Konstrukte von
,deutscher Indologie' im einzelnen zu widerlegen, sondern den Blick f?r die
zugrundeliegenden Konstruktionsstrategien zu sch?rfen.

INDEX OF TEXT PASSAGES --- 689

The book presents an edition, English translation and study of the Dharma P?ta?jala, a previously unpublished Old Javanese-Sanskrit ?aiva scripture transmitted through a single palm-leaf codex of West Javanese origin dating back to the 15th century AD. 
The cultural and doctrinal background of the text, as well as its codicological and philological aspects, are introduced in Part I. Part II presents an annotated diplomatic edition of the text with facsimile reproductions of the codex on facing pages, followed by a critical edition with English annotated translation. Part III is a systematic study focusing on the interpretation of the doctrines taught in the Dharma P?ta?jala in comparison with related Sanskrit texts from the Indian Subcontinent and Old Javanese scriptures from the Indonesian Archipelago. 
The Dharma P?ta?jala is doubly important: first, because it has been preserved on a codex belonging to a rare tradition of manuscripts from Java, which is significantly older than the majority of Balinese manuscripts containing Old Javanese texts; and second, because it documents an early tradition of speculative texts (Tattva), which was previously known to us only through two Old Javanese scriptures, namely the V?haspatitattva and the Tattvaj??na. The Dharma P?ta?jala thus fills a gap in our knowledge of ?aiva theology and philosophy in pre-Islamic Indonesia, and also casts light on the origin and development of ?aivism in the Indian Subcontinent.
The author of the Dharma P?ta?jala adopted a variety of P?ta?jala (a????ga) yoga instead of the ?aiva (?a?a?ga) yoga that is common in other Old Javanese texts, and attuned it to a ?aiva doctrinal framework. When elaborating his syncretic system, the author seemingly followed a hitherto unknown commentarial tradition to the Sanskrit Yogas?tra that is related, albeit by no means identical, to that of the Yogas?trabh??ya. The Dharma P?ta?jala also documents a variety of non-dualist ?aivism that may be regarded as early Saiddh?ntika in nature, but in which more archaic, pre-Saiddh?ntika (i.e. P??upata) elements have been retained as doctrinal ?fossils?.

Subject: Positions for Sanskrit Library assistants
Message-ID: <161227096008.23782.9053761947370332295.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

Research Associates sought for digital Sanskrit Library project

The Sanskrit Library <http://sanskritlibrary.org> seeks two research
associates for one year, from 1 June 2012 to 31 May 2013, to assist in
digital Sanskrit library development projects.

The Sanskrit Library <http://sanskritlibrary.org> is a collaborative
enterprise to build a digital Sanskrit library by integrating manuscript
images, texts, linguistic software, and digital Sanskrit lexical sources.
 In its first major project The Sanskrit
Library<http://sanskritlibrary.org> integrated
a large archive of digitized Sanskrit texts with the digital Monier
Williams dictionary to provide immediate access to the dictionary by
clicking words in a ????? of the text.  A nearly completed project creates
a digital manuscript catalogue and provides focused access to Sanskrit
manuscripts by correlating digital manuscript images with corresponding
texts.  A current project (Project 1), entitled, "Sanskrit Lexical Sources:
Digital Synthesis and Revision," integrates major bilingual and monolingual
Sanskrit dictionaries, traditional thesauri, and specialized lexical
resources in a single lookup interface.  A new project (Project 2)
beginning this year entitled, "Bringing ancient Indian semantic and
syntactic theory face to face with contemporary computational linguistics,"
creates a morphologically and syntactically tagged corpus of Sanskrit texts
by semi-automatically tagging existing unmarked digital texts.  In
collaboration with other members of the Sanskrit Computational Linguistics
Consortium, the project produces a parser combining the most successful
elements of parsing software developed so far, provisionally tags texts,
and displays them in an interface that allows manual correction by an
expert in Sanskrit knowledgable in Sanskrit linguistic terminology.

The task of the research associate in Project 1 will be to correct the
association of headwords in various dictionaries with each other and to
analyze and make corrections in lists of words not found in the lexical
sources.

The task of the research associate in Project 2 will be to select the
correct morphological and syntactic tags for words in their specific
contexts in a digital interface that displays a provisional selection and a
list of alternate choices.

Both positions require the following abilities:

   - fluency in reading Sanskrit texts of various genres and historical
   periods
   - familiarity with the lexical, grammatical, and syntactic terminology
   of both the indigenous Indian linguistic tradition and contemporary
   European Indology and linguistics, and
   - facility working in the digital medium.

It is expected that applicants meet the following qualifications:

   - currently hold or be near to completing a doctoral degree or
   equivalent in Sanskrit, preferably in ???????
   - have experience working in a digital project, and
   - be fluent in English.

The applicants are expected to be able to work individually as well as to
coordinate with the project director and collaborating indologists,
linguists, and computer scientists.  The positions carry a stipend of
between INR 24,000--30,000 per month, depending upon the qualifications and
rank of the applicant.  The positions will be housed in one of the
collaborating institutions in India in Hyderabad, Mumbai, New Delhi, or
Pune.

Apply by sending the following materials to the project director (Peter
Scharf) via email (peter.scharf at univ-paris-diderot.fr) with the subject
heading, "Sanskrit Library Assistant":

   - a r?sum? detailing your education, publications, presentations, and
   employment in the field of Sanskrit and relevant disciplines (such as
   linguistics, computer science, or other languages)
   - a description of your relevant experience with links to products
   produced
   - a clear indication of your role and responsibility in their production
   (whether you are exclusively responsible or the manner and extent of your
   responsibility), and
   - the names and contact information of three references.

All applications received by 10 May 2012 will be granted full consideration.

Dear Indology mailing list members,


a new IFP publication has appeared,
under the leadership of Bruno DAGENS
who was an EFEO (?cole Fran?aise d'Extr?me-Orient) "scientific member" 
for 17 years

"http://www.efeo.fr/biographies/notices/dagens.htm"

(before becoming a "professeur" at "Paris 3" university)
[He is currently retired, due to age limits in France]

It appears as part of a new TENTATIVE collection
named after the late Jean Filliozat who was the EFEO director for 21 
years. SEE:

"http://www.efeo.fr/biographies/notices/filliozat.htm"

All that is reassuring because it shows that Fran?ois Gros's diagnosis
in the pages 47-81 of the (green) report for the 75th anniversary of the 
EFEO was sound !
(He himself later became an EFEO director)


Best wishes

Dear Jean-Luc,

I presume the suggestion in your message is that it is improper for several colleagues with a (past) EFEO connection to be involved in a new Indological series published by the IFP outside of the framework of the EFEO-IFP series Collection Indologie, and that you find it ironic that the IFP has named the new/tentative series after a scholar who was for 21 years of the 20th century director of the EFEO.

Could you provide such a convenient link for the diagnosis of Fran?ois Gros, or a scan? I do not know what document you are talking about, and I suppose this holds for most other list members, although I am not sure everybody cares.

Best wishes,

Arlo Griffiths

Dear Arlo,

it is not for me to say what is "proper" and what is "improper".

All I was suggesting was that the F in IFP has the same meaning as the F 
in EFEO and that the treasures preserved in Pondicherry (and recognized 
by the UNESCO as "Memory of the World") have been collected and 
preserved thanks to the joint actions of many researchers, all financed 
by the French tax-payers, whatever the channel through which the money went.

Le futur a ses racines dans le pass?
et quiconque cr?e une biblioth?que
souhaite que les g?n?rations suivantes puissent y avoir acc?s
et soient capables de lire les livres qu'elle contient.

Un philologue ne se dit pas "apr?s moi le d?luge"

Amiti?s

-- Jean-Luc

P.S. je pense que tu dois avoir acc?s au rapport (vert) [pour le 
soixante-quinzi?me anniversaire de l'EFEO] ? la biblioth?que de l'EFEO.

Subject: 3 Vedic seasons or 6?
Message-ID: <161227096033.23782.3281418745223255244.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

I ran across a reference in Upender Singh's A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India that refers to only 3 seasons in the Vedic ritual. I was only aware of the standard 6 season schema. In researching this I found a reference in the Jaiminiya Braahmana (III.I) that spoke of Prajapati creating 3 seasons associated with the 3 worlds. He then divided each of them in two to make 6 seasons.

Did the Vedic people ever actually recognize only 3 seasons or is this theological reasoning to link the 6 seasons back to a 3-fold order? Is this discussed in greater depth anywhere?

Best,

Dean Anderson

Here are the already published volumes in this new Indological series (in which the vol.  2 of the  Su?ks?ma?gama has thus appeared as the n?3) issued from the IFP alone (differently from the  "Collection Indologie"  which is co-published by the EFEO and the IFP,  the n? 114 of which being the Su?ks?ma?gama vol. 1? the EFEO has also sometime his "own" Indological publications [I do not talk here about the EFEO general series called 'Publications de l'EFEO], not easy to find for the librarians: e.g. E. Wilden's Kuruntokai ed., 2010),

A good way to be informed about the books published in these various (sometime confusing) series, is to read the 'Institut d'Etudes indiennes" Newsletter, which lists all the French Indological publications. Here is the link for the last one:

> 
> The Delhi Winter School builds on the success of Zukunftsphilologie?s first Winter School held in Cairo, December 2010 on ?Textual Practices Beyond Europe: 1500-1900?. The Cairo Winter School focused mainly on the recovery and recuperation of instances of marginalized textual practices beyond Europe at a time of vast European imperial expansion, formations of national canons and in the context of the disciplinary history of Orientalism. The 2012 Delhi Winter School, Philologies Across the Asias, will further this research programme by shedding light on the mobility of texts, languages and textual practices across the cultural geographies of Asia - focusing on Arabic, Syriac, Armenian, Turkish, Sanskrit, Persian, Urdu, Chinese, Japanese, Malay, Tamil, the vernaculars across India and East Asia, among other linguistic and cultural realms.
> 
> This particular emphasis on cross-Asian philological and intellectual relations is not to undermine European encounters with Asia, but rather to consciously provincialise it, and thereby to approach it as one among many historical experiences of Asia. The fundamental question that we ask is: how could a history of Asia without Europe as its single point of reference actually look like? How was, for example, seventh and eighth century Greco-Syriac-Arabic literary culture viewed by Indo-Persian intellectuals in the early modern period? What role did Arabic script or Arabic intellectual traditions play across various locations - from the Mediterranean to the Malay world - to help bring about a sense of intellectual cosmopolitanism. Looking at any exemplary Ottoman or Chinese literary scholar in the early modern period, what can we deduce about the linguistic tools and methodologies at their disposal. What theories and notions of history, of language, and of cultural heritage determined their vision of translation and transformation from one register to another? What was at stake, in these movements across Asia? Where modern scholarship has looked at ancient or early medieval forms of politico-linguistic encounters - in the Late Antiquity of the Near East or the Renaissance of tenth century Baghdad, we have yet to grapple with the ways in which texts, materials, and methodologies of philological encounters shaped the ideas of self and community in the early modern period. The rise of vernaculars and colloquial writing from the courtly cultures and urban spaces of such places like Vijayanagar, Aceh, Seoul, Istanbul and Damascus created new scribal practices, new imaginations of cultural spread and hegemonies, and new ways of opening the world to text and vice versa.
> 
>  
> The role of these vernaculars in facilitating modes of translation in the philological practices across Asia will be a key concern of the Winter School. Our focus will be on the historical and cultural dimension of philological practices, to underline the ways in which textual culture (formation of archives, circulation of manuscripts, consolidation of expertise), political economy (rise of regional powers and patronly courts), and cultural imagination (a valence and value to the role of knowledge and knowledge systems) informed and governed Asian worlds prior to and during European colonial encounters.
> 
> By situating such practices in the larger context of the global histories of Asia and the complex geographies and polities that formed it, a doubly necessary discursive and historiographical move is intended: to disrupt any lingering notions of a monolithic Asia fabricated by western imperial imagination, and to challenge any assumption that philological knowledge originated in Europe and traveled - via the Colonial encounter - to Asia. Asias, in the plural, therefore, refers to the countless geographical locations, landscapes and seascapes, maps, boundaries and frontiers that make up territorial Asia, and it also refers to the countless number of representations, imaginations and historiographies that continue to shape its contours and delineate its differences.
> 
> The Winter School will engage in a transregional and historical perspective that transcends current national, colonial, religious and ethnic boundaries, real and imagined. This will be carried out by bringing together the expertise of scholars of various textual cultures to explore the ways in which Asia can be properly seen as a variegated, complex, and entangled whole. The Winter School aims to explore the early modern interconnections and entanglements of the Asias through an investigation of the philologies that connected them and also brought them apart.
> 
> Location 
> Delhi from the eleventh century provided a nodal point linking histories and cultures across Asias - from China Sea to the Red Sea - via the polities that called it their Capital. The movement of intellectuals after the Mongol disruption linking the Western Asian world echoed in the linking of Cairo and Istanbul and Delhi during the early modern period. Similarly, the movement of Chinese, Tibetan and Sanskritic texts across northern Asia benefited greatly from the political lines stretching across Delhi. We hope that the choice of Delhi will enrich and continue the conversation we started at Cairo.
> 
> Conditions of Application and Procedure 
> The International Winter School is open to postdoctoral researchers (within 7 years of completion) and advanced doctoral students from the field of language studies, history and cultural studies, whose philological work promotes an inter-Asian perspective. Particular preference will be given to applicants whose proposals exemplify a conscious dovetailing of comparativist methodology and historiographical reflection. Before submitting an application, interested applicants are strongly advised to visit the Zukunftsphilologie website (www.zukunftsphilologie.de) for a description of the project and a list of previous events, including a report of the Cairo Winter School.
> 
>  
> Participants receive a stipend covering travel and accommodation. They will be expected to give at least one presentation of their research, actively participate in discussion groups and seminars, and assist in chairing sessions. In order to create common intellectual ground and to ensure fruitful conversations, participants will receive a collection of preparatory essential readings in the form of an online reader, which they will be required to read carefully prior to their arrival in Delhi. These readings will be discussed extensively during the Winter School. Unlike similar events where the burden is on a team of tutors, the ultimate success of the Delhi Winter School however depends to a great extent on the engagement and contribution of all its participating members.

> Zukunftsphilologie aspires to support research in marginalized and undocumented textual practices and literary cultures with the aim of integrating texts and scholarly traditions from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East as well as from Europe itself. The project takes as its point of departure the increasingly growing concern with the global significance of philology and the potential of philology to challenge exclusivist notions of the self and the canon. Zukunftsphilologie  endeavours to promote and emphasise primary textual scholarship beyond the classical humanistic canon by a critical recuperation of philology. In an age of advanced communication, intellectual specialisation and unprecedented migration of knowledge and people, the discipline of philology assumes new relevance. The project draws on the recent calls for a return to philology as particularly emphasised by Sheldon Pollock in his essay ?Future Philology? The Fate of A Soft Science in a Hard World? and the late Edward Said's essay ?The Return to Philology?.

The Centre provides a unique institutional space which seeks to nurture intellectual interests and interdisciplinary modes of enquiry outside the entrenched boundaries of academic disciplines. Since its inception in 1963 the Centre has been known for its skepticism towards any one conception of modernity and received models of development and progress and has sought ways to make creative use of local traditions in the making of multiple and alternative modernities, much before these ideas become fashionable in intellectual discourse. The CSDS has always promoted conversations between and within cultures. It has tried to delink cultural resources from violent expressions of political identities and promoted the idea that dissent is crucial for creative conversation between cultures and societies. The CSDS has carved out a space for itself in the field of democratic politics and its futures, politics of culture and knowledge, contextually relevant political theory, media and urban experiences, critical discourse on science and technology and violence, ethnic diversity.

Hello Dean,

The Rigveda mentions three seasons [Rtus] several times.  In later Vedic
there is mention of five or six and perhaps seven seasons.  The six season
year was adopted in order to conform to the model of the twelve month
year.  For details, see the *Vedic Index* of Macdonell & Keith, on Rtu,
season.

Best wishes, as always,

George

Dear List,

I have found a fully unrestricted pdf copy of E. Senart's "Les

http://archive.org/details/lesinscriptionsd02asokuoft


Unfortunately - only the second volume. I want to copy the brahmi
texts of the inscriptions, as reconstructed by Senart. But I am unable
to do this  with the Google digitized copies of Senart's work, such as
the one shown at:

Has anyone, please, access to an unrestricted pdf copy of the first volume?

I'd be grateful for a link,

For some reason this particular one isn't working on my system this
evening, but usually you can select the .pdf version, and it will download
as a normal .pdf file.

This usually works for other 'restricted' archive.org titles as well.

Cheers

Thanks, George! I found it. Their index isn't always the best. Rtu (seasons) was buried under another topic.

A 3-season schema of hot, rainy, cold makes sense in that part of the world. But I wonder if they had any sort of ideological framework that caused them to prefer that organization rather than another number? The Brahmanas seem to hint at that but they often give the impression that they are working backwards to try and make older concepts fit (then-)current frameworks.

Has there been any work on Vedic numbering systems as organizing principles?

Best,

Dean

Hello Dean,

The Rigveda mentions three seasons [Rtus] several times.? In later Vedic there is mention of five or six and perhaps seven seasons.? The six season year was adopted in order to conform to the model of the twelve month year.? For details, see the *Vedic Index* of Macdonell & Keith, on Rtu, season.?

I ran across a reference in Upender Singh's A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India that refers to only 3 seasons in the Vedic ritual. I was only aware of the standard 6 season schema. In researching this I found a reference in the Jaiminiya Braahmana (III.I) that spoke of Prajapati creating 3 seasons associated with the 3 worlds. He then divided each of them in two to make 6 seasons.



Did the Vedic people ever actually recognize only 3 seasons or is this theological reasoning to link the 6 seasons back to a 3-fold order? Is this discussed in greater depth anywhere?

Dear list members,

I would like to know if any among the learned indologists here speak
Kannada and would like to help me out to broadly figure the discussion on
the *r?jas?ya *performed in Karnataka. The event was recently covered in
the local channel TV9 and followed by a discussion which is accessible via
youtube in 5 parts:

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFZ90yE_QlM
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eEVsCMKro8
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00kCI_ttSSU
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COQoboNFlTI
Part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7v3nJFqgTw

I am particularly interested in the sm?rta vs ?rauta discussion going on
between the participants of the discussion, but any help you would be able
to provide is highly appreciated. I am unfortunately completely ignorant of
Kannada.

I hope these links will be of interest to the Veda scholars in the list as
well.

Best,
Maitreya

Dear colleagues,

An undergraduate Sanskrit student from Brown University, who will have
completed 3 semesters of Sanskrit by this coming January (2013) [which
means he will have read a good number of adhy?yas from the the MBh and, or,
Rm, as well as many ?lokas from the BG], will be in Paris on an exchange
program from about January to May of 2013. He would like to be able to
enroll in some kind of organized, academic study of Sanskrit that would
correspond to continued "intermediate" level reading  (epic or pur??ic
narrative, kath? literature, n?ti kath?s, etc.), as he hopes to continue
his study of Sanskrit after his semester in Paris. French medium of
instruction would be perfectly suitable. If anyone knows of an appropriate
institution or contact person who might guide this able and eager student,
I would appreciate it. Please contact me off-list at
James_Fitzgerald at Brown.edu.

Many thanks,  Jim Fitzgerald

Dear Bill,

I don't have a copy, so can't help you there-- but: I once spoke with a
rare book dealer about uncut pages. These make a difference to the value of
collectible books, but for scholarly books, he said to just go ahead and
cut the pages--it makes no difference... well, we all know that our
libraries will be worth much less than we paid for them...

Dear Dr. Palaniappan,

In his article "Sociological Aspects of the Personal Names and Titles" (in
the new volume South India Under the Cholas, OUP 2012 pp. 49-53; the
relevant part of which was previously published as "The Mangala title in
Pandya Inscriptions" in Rajagopal, ed. Kaveri: Studies in Epigraphy,
Archaeology, and History, Panpattu Veliittakam, Chennai 2001), Y.
Subbarayalu has discussed the occurrence of these figures in a series of
seventh and eight century P???iya records.  Differing from K V. Raman who
shares your interpretation of these figures as brahmans (citing "The
History of the Pandyas (in Tamil) Madras, 1977"; the only reference I can
find for a 1977 Tamil language publication by this scholar is his Tolliyal
?yvuka?, Chennai: Cekar Patippakam), Y.S. suggests that these figures were
members of the barber caste, as well as medical practitioners.  I do not
have the epigraphical publications to hand as I write this, but he reports
that they are identified as members of the vaidyakula, which Raman saw as a
derived from Veda, and hence presumed them to be Brahmans. By contrast,
Y.S. reports (I did not know this myself) that ma?kala/ma?kaliyan is a name
for a member of the barber community (citing the Tamil Lexicon; the MTL
also has "???????????? ma?kala-vi?ai?a?, *n*. < id. +. 1. Barber, as doing
auspicious work"), a caste-title also apparently available in Telugu.  The
connection between medicine and barbers is a natural one, as Y.S. points
out (p. 52), "barbers were also rural physicians [and the] ladies of the
barber community were used to be [sic] midwives in villages".

This is something that was paralleled in Europe, where the surgical
profession emerged from barbers' guilds, rather than from the university
educated doctors of medicine (surgeons in Britain, for instance, are still
routinely addressed as "Mr./Mrs." instead of "Dr.").

Best,

Whitney Cox

Dear Dr. Palaniappan
I do not know of physicians being called
Ma?gala in North India, but the hymns to the fathers are called Ma?gal?in the Orissa tradition
of the Paippal?da-Sa?hit? of the Atharvaveda.
Those Paippal?da
hymns (AVP 18.57-82) have been termed M??galikas in the ?aunaka-Sa?hit?of the
Atharvaveda (AV? 19.23). The same hymns appear with variants in the ?AV? (18) too but the name Ma?gal?does not appear
for them in this branch. They appear also in the ?gveda and the Taittir?ya ?ra?yaka. Here
too the name Ma?gal?is missing for
them.
If it could be of any help to you, I
request you to note that a relatively elaborate treatment of the origin and
nature of the hymns and of the name Ma?gal? given to them may be found in the Paippal?da-Sa?hit? of
the Atharvaveda Vol. Three, Asiatic Society, (2011), Introduction ?6, pp.lxxxiii
? xc (also ?7, partly). Unfortunately the book has been temporarily
withdrawn from circulation after the detection of some recurrent errors. The
press is expected to rectify the defect in a month when it can again come into
circulation.
Among others, the Mars is Mangala in Indian astrology.
Astrologers, in Bengal at least, make a fuss of any Mangala ?defect? in the
bride whatever that may mean.
?Best
wishes

Dear Dr. Cox,


Thank you for your detailed post. In fact, my post was partly triggered by YS's article in his 'South India under the Cholas'.

Dear Dr. Bhattacharya,


The type of euphemism you talk about does not match the Tamil epigraphic data. The Vaidya family members with the maGkala- title were uttaramantris and mahAsAmantas of the Pandiyan king. They had no need for such euphemistic titles.

Thank you for your detailed post. In fact, my post was partly triggered by YS's article in his 'South India under the Cholas'.

While the names discussed by YS do not identify the maGkala- titleholders explicitly as brahmins, I am aware of inscriptions where it is very clear that brahmin physicians had maGkala- titles.

You might look at Apte's Eng-Skt dict for some ideas.

   -
   http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/AEScan/AEScanjpg/ae0302-myope.jpg

But as always with such queries (like last year's 'What's the Sanskrit for
"go with the flow"?'), one has first to ask whether there is a Sanskritic
concept that might correspond to English "mysticism."   And, most probably,
there isn't, quite.  Much interesting work has been done on
incommensurability in translation theory.

Dear Fran?ois,

just a short addition: The R?jguru of Sav?? Jaisingh, Ratn?kara D?k?ita 
Mah??abde, was given the title Samr?? and Pu???r?ka (or Pau??ar?ka). The 
titles are linked to the V?japeya- and Pu??ar?ka-sacrifices performed in 
1709 and 1713.
See: Horstmann, Monika. 2009. Der Zusammenhalt der Welt. Religi?se 
Herrschaftslegitiation und Religionspolitik Mah?r?j? Sav?? Jaisinghs 
(1700-1743). Harrassowitz. On Ratn?kara pp. 24-39.
P. 25, fn. 41 "Bei dem Pu??ar?ka-Opfer handelt es sich um ein 
einundzwanzigt?giges Soma-Opfer". So now we have to check whether 11 or 
21 days is correct.
