Dear Peter,
This Wikipedia page suggests that it is a neighborhood in Chennai, also going by the name Triplicane and having a slightly different spelling.

Tiruvalikk??i is indeed the original Tamil name for Anglo-Indian
Triplicane, which is nowadays part of Ce??ai.
Tiruma?kai ??v?r has a decade on the Vi??u temple there, the
P?rthas?rathisv?min (see his Periyatirumo?i II.3).

I've pledged some funding to this, and I warmly recommend the project.
Please spread the word.  With about $34,000 pledged, the project is 68%

Hi Everyone,

First of all, a huge "thank you" to all those who contributed since our
last post. We're bowled over by the generosity of the yoga community, and
so excited that we're on our way to being able to start work on the book.
With only four days to go, though, we're 2/3 of the way to our target, so
we need a really big last push. As you know, if we don't make full funding,
we don't see *any* of the money.


We'd like to ask you once again to put out word on your networks: tell your
friends why this is a worthwhile project. Encourage them to have a look at
the kickstarter site and to donate if they feel so moved. Announce the
project at your local yoga studio and ask your fellow students and teachers
to spread the word. Anything you can think of! We're very close: there is
often a surge of interest and donations at the tail end of a kickstarter
campaign, and we're really hoping this one is going to follow that pattern.
So any help you all can offer at this stage will be vital. Here's the link
to the kickstarter
page:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/36604121/the-roots-of-yoga-a-sourcebook-from-the-indian-tra

And here's Yoga Journal's coverage of the campaign:
http://blogs.yogajournal.com/yogabuzz/2012/07/yoga-scholars-reach-out-to-community.html

Lastly, here's a snippet from Jim's translation of the Dattatreya Yoga
Shastra, a text which describes the yoga teachings of the sage Dattatreya
to his student S??k?ti. The full translation of this text is one of the
kickstarter rewards:

"If diligent, everyone, even the young or the old or the diseased,
gradually obtains success in yoga through practice. Whether brahmin,
ascetic, Buddhist, Jain, Skullbearer or materialist, the wise man endowed
with faith who is constantly devoted to his practice obtains complete
success. Success happens for he who performs the practices - how could it
happen for one who does not? Success does not arise in any form merely by
reading the scriptures. Shaven-headed, bearing a staff or wearing ochre
robes; saying ?N?r?ya?a?, having matted hair, smearing oneself with ash,
saying ?nama? ?iv?ya?, or worshipping external images; marking oneself in
the twelve places, or adorning oneself with lots of rosaries: if one does
not practice or is cruel, how is one to get success? The wearing of
religious garb does not bring success, nor does talking about it. Practice
alone is the cause of success: this is indeed true, S??k?ti. It is a well
known fact that men who wear religious garb but undertake no religious
practices deceive people by talking of yoga for purposes of lust and
gluttony. Crafty men try various deceits; declaring ?we are yogins? they
are fools, intent on nothing but their own satisfaction. Gradually coming
to realise that men like that do not practise yoga, but attain their ends
through words alone, one should shun those who wear religious garb."

With warm wishes,

Mark and Jim

At some point in the future, this INDOLOGY list will need an update or
overhaul.  Looking around at the software that's available, it looks as if
we would have the choice between continuing with an email-based discussion
forum very much as we do now, or switching to a "bulletin board" style of
system, which would be manipulated through a website.  It would be nice to
have both in one package, but so far I haven't found that (except Google
groups, which I'd prefer not to use for other reasons).

I've put together a simple poll to ask your opinion.  Would you vote here
please?

If there's an option I haven't thought of, you can add it.

Indologist Du?an Zbavitel
dies<http://praguemonitor.com/2012/08/08/indologist-du%C5%A1-zbavitel-dies>
Prague Daily Monitor

Prague, Aug 7 (CTK) - Czech Indologist and translator Dusan Zbavitel died
at the age of 87 yesterday, his daughter Gita Zbavitelova has told CTK.

Zbavitel translated over 60 books and wrote one of the first textbooks of
Sanskrit.

Experts say the first Czech translation of the complete Upanishads is one
of the most outstanding works of his.

Zbavitel made it directly from the Sanskrit original and it was published
several years ago.

Dusan Zbavitel was born Kosice, east Slovakia, in 1925, and studied
Indology at Charles University in Prague.

>?From 1954, he worked as a researcher of the South Asia Department of the
Prague Oriental Studies Institute and became its head in 1960.

He also taught Bengali at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University.

After 1968, he was forced to leave the post as he disagreed with the Warsaw
Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Dear friends and colleagues,

For those of you who took the trouble to read this bizarre piece and
may wonder about the connection between Frauwallner and Hermann
Oldenberg's rac(ial)ist ruminations that Karin Preisendanz and I quoted
in our introduction to the new edition of Frauwallner's
Philosophie des Buddhismus, see the very explicit statement in  
Frauwallner, "Der arische Anteil ...", p. 286.

Gr?nendahl has obviously not bothered to carefully read the relevant
articles by F. before he produced another of his diatribes directed
against critical scholars who touch upon the (political) history of
Indology in Germany and Austria during the NS period (and before).

The sloppiness of his polemical scholarship is also seen in his  
fictitious assertion that Franco was "a (former) assistant on  
'Professor Sheldon Pollock's project on Indology during the time of  
National Socialism in Germany.'"

Further comments are not required here.

With best wishes,
Eli Franco

 To All,
         As a part of my Indological studies, I am at present involved in studying the eposh-making role palyed by Swami-Vivekananda, the Indian saint -philosopher who stormed the stage at the Parliament-of Religions at Chicago in 1893,and his subsequent Western visits to propagate the Vedantic spirit worldwide. H e had  a lot of Western admirers who felt his healing effect.I would be obliged if anybody can provide me with  details, in brief of the following admirers- 
                    1) Sister Devamata
                    2) Madame E.Calve

Unfortunately, the online version seems not to be available due to the author's rights.
I am afraid that the interlibrary loan is the only answer to this problem... but this may take time.

Could you forward this message to the Indology group? -- Thanks, Suresh.

*Prof. BhK is no more.*

Sad news. My mentor, guru, friend and a fatherly figure is no more. He has
been receiving treatment in the hospital for the last one month, and he
suffered a heart attack tonight (Aug 10) and breathed his last. He is 84.

Pro
f. Krishnamurti is a towering giant whose monumental contributions to the
study of Dravidian linguistics cannot be overstated. The breadth and depth
of his work, and his commitment to the study of Dravidian linguistics is
inspiration to many linguists across the world.


His spirit lives on through many of his disciples who were fortunate to
receive his teaching, guidance and friendship.

Suresh.

>?From my experience, a bulletin board system as an active interface really only makes sense with large communities where subdividing into several sub-communities, FAQs, forums, etc. makes sense because it would otherwise entail far too much email or be too difficult to search.   With smaller groups, a BB can be useful as a passive interface (i.e., as a means of archiving).

Indology is not large enough to necessitate an active web forum, I don't think (in fact, I imagine the annoyance of logging in, scanning forums, posting between forums, etc. will decrease activity), so if the choice is "one or the other," I would much prefer an email-based system like we use now.

I DO agree with Jan.

If the format is not comprehensible, it will not survive.

Among the oldest surviving items
which are part of "scientific discourse",
we see the clay tablets ...
(because each one of them can be separately
understood [and/or falsified])

If the software does not seem to care for preserving,
as individual textual entities,
singular scientific statements,
why would anyone care to post anything?

In the current framework (used by Liverpool_INDOLOGY),
everyone is responsible for the "compr?hensibilt?"
(i.e. "being understandable or not")
or what he/she writes.

If Gruenendahl disagrees with E.Franco,
they are not glued together in a higher-level
abstract higher-level-statement
(uttered by an inexisting "compromis" [or go-between]
[however convinced Gandhi was by the "beaut? du compromis :-)
((I am quoting from the French translation
(by Pierre MEILE)
of Gandhi's autobiography
and do not have the original at hand)).

INDOLOGY should strive
to continue to allow SINGULAR people
to make (well informed) SINGULAR STATEMENTS,
and for those statements to be (faithfully) recorded.

I don't object to a bulletin board per se (though I am not sure how often I would log on without the emails to remind me). Whichever system we use, there must be some means of archiving discussions so that we can refer to them again later. With bulletin board-type interfaces, there is a tendency for the same topics to come up for debate time and time again, as previous discussions drop out of sight.

I thought we had voted on this already, recently.  I would only add (my
vote is to continue the list as is) that with so many emails to process
every day, I always make time for Indology, but I suspect I would often not
take time to check a bulletin board.

Belated thanks to Eli Franco for pointing out a shortcoming of my article (I was out of station for nearly two weeks). I should indeed have taken into consideration Frauwallner's 1939 reference to Oldenberg (Frauwallner, "Der arische Anteil an der indischen Philosophie", WZKM 46, p. 286):

"(...) es ist schon mehrfach versucht worden, einzelne Vorg?nge der indischen Philosophie- und Religionsgeschichte mit der rassenm??igen Zusammensetzung des indischen Volkes in Verbindung zu bringen. So ist z. B. schon fr?h die Meinung ausgesprochen worden, da? der Sieg der Religionen des Visnu und Siva auf dem ?bergewicht beruht, den das einheimische Blut allm?hlich ?ber den arischen Zustrom gewann. Ich verweise nur auf die gl?nzenden Ausf?hrungen H. Oldenbergs in seinen Aufs?tzen ?ber "Die Literatur des alten Indien" (S. 131ff.). Aus der letzten Zeit m?chte ich als Beispiel den Versuch H. von Glasenapps erw?hnen, das Vordringen des Tantrismus und des buddhistischen Vajrayanam im 1. Jahrtausend n. Chr. aus rassischen Umschichtungen zu erkl?ren. Nicht zu vergessen die zahlreichen neueren Versuche, vorarische Bestandteile in der indischen Philosophie und Religion nachzuweisen (...)."

As Franco righly points out in his comment, the passage proves Frauwallner's admiration for Oldenberg's stratification according to racial criteria. Whether his "Die Literaturen des alten Indien" (1903) was an immediate inspiration ("unmittelbare Inspiration") for Frauwallner, as Franco/Preisendanz claim (2010:XXVIII), remains a matter of speculation. Besides, similar claims could be made for Glasenapp or the (unnamed) "recent attempts" Frauwallner mentions.

My article should have taken into account Frauwallner's ?racial stratification' of 1939, and, more importantly, it should have discussed this issue in its relation to ? and distinction from ? the proposition of a specifically ?Nordic'/Indo-Germanic aptitude for "science in the strict sense" ("Wissenschaft im strengen Sinne"), put forward in Frauwallner's lecture of 1942. It bears reminding that, with regard to the latter issue, Frauwallner calls to witness not Oldenberg, but Wolfram von Soden - a fact that is of considerable consequence to the case made in my article.


It also bears reminding that the pertinent part of my article is not about the ?stratification' and ?aptitude' issues as such, but about the misrepresentation of the relevant sources (especially von Soden) as one of several examples of the distortive and manipulative discourse strategies employed by Sheldon Pollock and other theorists of "German Indology". Franco neither discusses this central point of my argument and the evidence I adduce in its support, nor does he explain why it should be invalidated wholesale by his (justified) critique of a side-issue.


As for Franco's contested involvement in Pollock's project, here is the pertinent quote in context (Franco, The Spitzer Manuscript, 2004, vol. 1, p. vii):
"During one of my visits to Israel I fortuitously met a bibliophile who mentioned Spitzer's name. I immediately expressed my desire to meet Spitzer, whose whereabouts I had once unsuccessfully tried to determine in connection with Professor Sheldon Pollock's project on Indology during the time of National Socialism in Germany."

Reinhold Gr?nendahl

Betreff: Re: [INDOLOGY] "German Indology"

Dear friends and colleagues,

For those of you who took the trouble to read this bizarre piece and
may wonder about the connection between Frauwallner and Hermann
Oldenberg's rac(ial)ist ruminations that Karin Preisendanz and I quoted
in our introduction to the new edition of Frauwallner's
Philosophie des Buddhismus, see the very explicit statement in
Frauwallner, "Der arische Anteil ...", p. 286.

Gr?nendahl has obviously not bothered to carefully read the relevant
articles by F. before he produced another of his diatribes directed
against critical scholars who touch upon the (political) history of
Indology in Germany and Austria during the NS period (and before).

The sloppiness of his polemical scholarship is also seen in his
fictitious assertion that Franco was "a (former) assistant on
'Professor Sheldon Pollock's project on Indology during the time of
National Socialism in Germany.'"

Further comments are not required here.

With best wishes,
Eli Franco

Dear INDOLOGY forum colleagues,

Thank you for voting and sharing your reasoning about the best future for
the INDOLOGY forum.  It's clear by a large margin that the status quo suits
most people, so that's what I shall pursue.  There's no hurry, and our
friends at the University of Liverpool are only giving the gentlest of
advanced warnings that the day will eventually come when our forum will
need to think about beginning to explore the issue of starting to finding a
new home.  "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.
But it is the end of the beginning."  :-)

When that day comes, we'll continue with an email-based forum as at present.

Best wishes and thanks again,

Dominik Wujastyk

You may find Moriz Winternitz' Geschichte der indischen Literatur, also in Engl translation (I do not have the reference) very useful. There is A.K. Warder's several volumes, Helmuth von Glassenapp's one volume and several new Indian publications. One very useful is History of Classical Sanskrit Literature by M.Krishamachariar. Good luck.

I would like to know whether there is any other early Indian literary history that I have overlooked, and I would also like to know what the first Indian literary history written by an indigenous Indian author is. If by any chance, the history of Indian literary histories has been described in any scholarly publication, I would also be thankful for the bibliographical reference to such a study.

The first edition of Weber's work appeared under this title: "Akademische Vorlesungen ?ber indische Literaturgeschichte : gehalten im Wintersemester 1851/52". - Berlin : D?mmler, 1852. - VI, 284 p.

In 1859 a French translation came out under the title: Histoire de la litt?rature indienne : cours profess? ? l'universit? de Berlin (Trad. de l'allemand par Alfred Sadous.  Paris: Durand, 1859); the English translation appeared as The history of Indian literature / by Albrecht Weber. Transl. from the 2nd German ed. by John Mann and Theodor Zachariae with the sanction of the author. - London : Tr?bner, 1878 (American ed.: Boston : Houghton, Osgood, & Company, 1878). This version is based upon the second enlarged German edition of 1876 (Berlin: D?mmler [et al.], 1876). You will find digital copies of all of them.

Perhaps one of the earliest works of this kind was Friedrich Adelung's "Versuch einer Literatur der Sanskrit-Sprache" , published in St. Petersburg: Kray, 1830. Actually, it is more like a commented bibliography by someone who did not read Sanskrit by himself. An English translation appeared in 1832 under the title "An historical sketch of Sanskrit literature : with copious bibliographical notices of Sanskrit works and translations" (Oxford 1832). A second enlarged edition was published under the title "Bibliotheca sanscrita : Literatur der Sanskrit-Sprache" (St. Petersburg: Kray, 1837).

A misleading title is: August Hennings (1746-1826): Versuch einer ostindischen Litteratur-Geschichte : nebst einer kritischen Beurtheilung der Aechtheit der Zend-B?cher / von August Hennings. - Hamburg und Kiel : Bohn, 1786; it is really a large work (more than 760 pages), however, it does not provide a history of literature in the sense of belles-lettles, written  by Indian authors. It is, indeed, a survey of what European travellers, missionaries, geographers and so on had written on East India to this date. Hennings was an official in Danish service (but not in the colonial service in the Danish dominion in India), so his interest lies more in practical matters like trade and so on.

One of the first histories of the literatures of Hindustani / Urdu / Hindi done in an European tongue is probably by Joseph H?liodore Garcin de Tassy: "Histoire de la litt?rature hindoui et hindoustani", the first volume of which appeared in 1839 (the last version of it was a three-volume edition published in 1870-1871).

By the way, there is a collective volume edited by Hans Harder on writing the literary history of the Indian vernaculars:

Literature and nationalist ideology : writing histories of modern Indian languages / ed. by Hans Harder. - New Delhi : Social Science Press,  2010. - xii, 387 p. - ISBN 978-81-87358-33-6

Hope it helps

There is a recent and very interesting study of Jains in Tamil literary histories by Christoph Emmrich: Journal of Indian Philosophy 39, no. 6 (2011): 599-646.  Although mostly concerned with twentieth-century histories, it discusses also precursors to them in the prefaces to nineteenth-century editions of Tamil works.

Colebrooke's 'On the Vedas or sacred writings of the Hindus' Asiatic Researches, Vol.VIII, Calcutta, 1805 is mostly a feeble attempt at a descriptive account and hence not exactly a history of literature but many such accounts have passed in the name of 'historical account'. In 1868 someone tried to give an account of esoteric Buddhist literature as far as known to her but the name of the author escapes me. I might be able to find that out later.

I would like to know whether there is any other early Indian literary history that I have overlooked, and I would also like to know what the first Indian literary history written by an indigenous Indian author is. If by any chance, the history of Indian literary histories has been described in any scholarly publication, I would also be thankful for the bibliographical reference to such a study.

Embarrassing as it may seem, I have to correct this for a second time. The
fact that our respected colleague and friend Sheldon Pollock once  
asked me to find somebody's address does not make me "a (former)  
assistant"
in a project. It does not even make me "involved" in his project in  
any real sense of the term.

Regardless of this ridiculous distortion, I consider it self-evident that
anybody within the scholarly community is free to associate with their
colleagues and provide help in connection with their individual research
projects, without having to justify themselves. It is one matter if
Reinhold Gr?nendahl disagrees with some of Pollock's published findings
and conclusions in a certain project. It is another matter altogether if
he (repeatedly) attempts to attack and vituperate all those whom he
somehow associates with Pollock's "project" (starting from the translator
of Pollock's contested article into German [in Gr?nendahl's paper in the
Roth Felicitation Volume], up to the persons of the Heidelberg South Asia
Institute who invited him for the keynote speech at the recent 50-year
celebration of the Institute [see the past disgraceful discussion in the
"Indologie" list).

Nothing more remains to be said on this strange behaviour in an
international forum, which definitely does not reflect on current "German
Indology" as a whole.
With best wishes,
Eli Franco

Dear all,

We would like to draw your attention to the following announcement (sorry for cross-posting):

In connection with the pending start of a new research project ("Kalimpong as a 'Contact Zone'," directed by Prof. Birgit Kellner and Dr. Markus Viehbeck at the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context," University of Heidelberg), we invite proposals for papers for the following panel at the Thirteenth Seminar of the International Association of Buddhist Studies, to be held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, from July 21-27, 2013.

Panel: "When Different Worlds Meet: Transcultural Encounters in the Eastern Himalayas"
While cultural exchange is an immanent and continuous element of human societies, there are certain places and conditions that accentuate this element and make it more visible. With the intensification of trade in the wake of the British Younghusband invasion to Tibet in 1904, the border region between Tibet and India in the Eastern Himalayas gained importance as the main transit hub for the exchange of Tibetan and Western commodities. Economic development was accompanied by population growth: the historical mixture of various local ethnic groups was enriched by an influx of traders and the settlement of British Indian colonial officers, Christian missionaries, Tibetan dignitaries, Western Tibetologists and spiritual seekers, etc. This development did not only yield a pathway for the exchange of material goods, but also for the exchange of knowledge between worlds that knew very little about each other.
In this panel, we would like to address these encounters with regard to various interconnected key areas, such as trade, religion, politics, media, scholarship, education, etc., and with different methodological and disciplinary approaches.

Please send proposals for papers (half page abstracts) directly to Markus Viehbeck (viehbeck at asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de<mailto:viehbeck at asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de>), until September 23, 2012, at the latest.

Thank you also for forwarding this announcement - which I attach as a PDF document - to your colleagues with an interest in this area, and for making it public via department bulletin boards etc.

With kind regards,
Markus Viehbeck

Dear friends,

I seem to have lost my copy of Kajiyama's article of the Santaanaantaradu.sa.na of Ratnakiirti.
I'd be grateful to anyone who might be able to send a pdf my way (thereby proving, incidentally,
that there are other santaana!)...

with thanks,

Yesterday I received the sad news that Professor Dr. Claus Vogel, emeritus professor of Indology at the University of Bonn, honorary professor for Tibetology at the University of G?ttingen, member of the North Rhine-Westphalia Academy for Sciences and Arts, Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society and president of the Helmuth von Glasenapp Foundation passed away at 16 August 2012.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to know Professor Vogel as a scholar, teacher and gentleman will always remember him.

A young cousin who is going into graduate studies in comparative religion has asked me to teach him Sanskrit.? He is a residential student at George Mason, about 40 miles away from me, so I do not imagine we will be able to get together more than once every couple of weeks.? Does anyone have any experience or ideas about, first, which textbook might be most useful for teaching someone Sanskrit outside of the usual classroom format, and, second, about methodology for teaching it as it were remotely?

Any comments received with gratitude.

Subject: summer school in Alu-Kurumba and in Sanskrit
Message-ID: <161227097090.23782.7989049809871520518.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

[With the usual apologies from possible cross-posting.]

 From September 9th to 18th, the traditional "Almindologie" ("mountain 
meadow Indology") in the mountains south of Munich, in Bavaria, Germany 
will take place again. This is a summer school organized by the Manya 
Institute, a small private institute for Indological studies in Munich. 
where intensive courses and workshops are offered.

For this year, a few admissions are still possible.

This time, two courses are being offered, in Sanskrit and Alu-Kurumba 
(both conducted in German):

(1) an introductory course in the Alu-Kurumba language, one of the most 
important languages in the tribal area of the Nilgiri mountains in 
northwestern Tamilnadu. The course will be given by Prof. em. Dr. Dieter 
Kapp of Cologne, who has achieved a worldwide reputation as one of the 
leading Nilgiri researchers. Not only will the language be taught: 
Professor Kapp will also provide ample anthropological and cultural 
information about this tribe, with the help of visual materials from his 
fieldwork. No preliminary background knowledge is required (although 
knowledge of other Dravidian languages, such as Kannada or Tamil, is of 
course useful).

(2) Sanskrit reading: excerpts from the important tantric text 
Yogin?h?daya, together with an introduction to ??kta-tantric thought, 
offered by the Munich Indologist Eva-Maria Glasbrenner, M.A. 
Participation in this course requires at least basic knowledge of 
Sanskrit (at least one year). This course also serves as an introduction 
to the technique of reading classical Indian commentaries on 
philosophical texts.

The courses will be conducted in German, as mentioned above.

The cost of participation for these 10 days, including lodging in the 
chalet and daily vegetarian all-you-can-eat meals, is 200 Euros for 
students (amounting to 20 Euro per day) and 420 Euro (42 Euros per day) 
for non-students. Further information, registration forms etc. can be 
found online at http://www.manya-institut.de

Registration is possible until August 31st at info at manya-institut.de

Dear Alan

A colleague recently referred me to https://www.coursera.org/courses.

Although these online courses from university profs are largely science
oriented, perhaps you may find within their system a model for how to
proceed methodologically.

Cheers

Dear colleagues,

Has anyone personally visited Tirumukk??al in the Madhurantakam taluk of
the Chingleput district (here, I
think<https://maps.google.com/maps?q=thirumukkudal&hl=en&hq=thirumukkudal&t=m&z=16>)?
There is temple there to Vi??u Ve?ka???a-Perum?? that has an inscription
that was reported on by Subrahmanya Ayyar of Coimbatore, in EI 21.  The
temple has an inscription describing the funding, establishment, and
organisation of a clinic or hospital.

What I would like to know is whether there are any visible or
archaeological signs that this institution was built, rather than just
being legislated for.  I see no reason to doubt that it was built, but I am
wondering about physical remains.

If you have been there, I'd be grateful for any observations.

Best, and with thanks,

Dominik Wujastyk

Hello Everyone,

Just to clarify that Maitreyi Deshpande is no longer the Hon. Secretary of
BORI.  She has been replaced a few months ago by Mr. Arun Barve.  For the
changes that have occurred, take a look at the following news report:

http://www.indianexpress.com/election-news/bhandarkar-oriental-research-institute-gets-new-office-bearers/946606

I was in Pune in June for three weeks and gave a talk at the BORI, but did
not see Maitreyi Deshpande.  I would suggest that you write to Mr. Arun
Barve who is now the Hon. Secretary.

Dear Professor Deshpande,
I thank you for the information, but I do not find the way to elicit an answer from the Institute. I like to buy two publications of it. A reputed publihser-cum-agent here at Santiniketan acknowledged its inability to get them for me. I emailed to the BORI's current email ID without result. I posted a snail mail letter to the Secretary;? Failure again.? I noticed deterioration at the BORI since Professor Dandekar's death. After Professor Laddu the state of affairs came to be the worst. Long ago I brought this personally to the notice of Prof. Dhadphale at Mumbai. That resulted in a reply when I wrote to him a few days later. But he was soon removed and the state of affairs relapsed. 
The difficulty is that I have no time to go to Pune and buy the books, available according to my information, at Pune itself. But, it seems, that is the only way out! 
In contrast the VVRI or Munshiram Manoharlal is prompt and overzealous in executing a orders at short notice.
Best
DB

Hello Everyone,

Just to clarify that Maitreyi Deshpande is no longer the Hon. Secretary of BORI.? She has been replaced a few months ago by Mr. Arun Barve.? For the changes that have occurred, take a look at the following news report:

http://www.indianexpress.com/election-news/bhandarkar-oriental-research-institute-gets-new-office-bearers/946606

I was in Pune in June for three weeks and gave a talk at the BORI, but did not see Maitreyi Deshpande.? I would suggest that you write to Mr. Arun Barve who is now the Hon. Secretary.

Message-ID: <161227097129.23782.973236748927800848.generated@prod2.harmonylists.io>

Dear Fellow List Members,

With apologies for cross-postings,

It is a great pleasure for me to announce that the IASS adjudicators  
for the DK Award for the outstanding doctoral thesis on Sanskrit  
2009-11 have now concluded their assessments and deliberations and  
agreed to make the award to:

Dr Himal  Trikha for his thesis submitted to the University of Vienna:  
"Schluss  mit ungueltigen Perspektiven! Polemik gegen das Vaisesika in  
der Satyasasanapariksa des Digambara Vidyanandin vor dem Hintergrund   
des kritischen Perspektivismus der Jainas".

(Published as Perspektivismus und Kritik. Das pluralistische  
Erkenntnismodell der Jainas angesichts der Polemik gegen das Vaisesika  
in Vidyanandins Satyasasanapariksa, Publications of the De Nobili  
Research Library edited by Gerhard Oberhammer, Utz Podzeit and Karin  
Preisendanz, Volume XXXVI. Wien: Sammlung de Nobili ... Universit?t  
Wien, 2012.)

The DK Award for the outstanding doctoral thesis on Sanskrit was  
inaugurated in 2006 at the World Sanskrit Conference in Edinburgh. The  
IASS thanks Mr Ramesh Mittal of DK Agencies personally and DK as a  
firm for supporting Sanskrit scholarship in this generous way (one  
thousand dollars worth of books from DK Agencies). (Please ask for the  
2012 Brochure containing details.)

For the years 2006 to 2008 it was conferred on Dr Wendy J.  
Phillips-Rodr?guez for her dissertation submitted to the University of  
Cambridge: ?Electronic Techniques of Textual Analysis and Edition for  
Ancient Texts: an Exploration of the Phylogeny of the Dyutaparvan?.

The deadline for applying for the next DK Award for theses on Sanskrit  
submitted in the period 2012-2014 is 31st January 2015.

With congratulations to the winner,
yours sincerely,
Jayandra Soni

Dear all,

I am currently editing a colleague's translation of the Tibetan text of the Buddhist Sarvarahasya Tantra.  It recently came to my attention that there is an unedited Sanskrit manuscript out there somewhere of Ratn?kara??nti's Sarvarahasyanibandha Rah??prad?pa.  I would very much like to consult this ms., but have no idea where it's currently located.  The Bongo Butten no Kenky? IV (p.203) indicates it as one of Rahula S??k?ty?yana's discoveries, giving the number 299.

Ideally someone has an image of this ms. in their possession and would be kind enough to share it with me.  Second best would be knowledge the precise current location so I can track it down myself.  But really, any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Much thanks,

Ryan

Dear Ryan,

I checked Bandurski?s 1994 catalog of the G?ttingen collection of
S??k?ty?yana?s photographs, and although it contains several of
Ratn?kara??nti?s works, this title is not among them. Could it be
listed under an alternative title? I sent you Bandurski?s indices
in separate email; the whole catalog can be had here:

Dear list,
In a verse in the Madhuravijayam, at nightfall a day is said to seal the
lotus bud (which is as it were a chest) with a lak?ma j?tu?am in the form
of a bee.   J?tu?a is a kind of lac as far as we know, but if that is the
case how can it be the same colour as a bee?  Is there a very dark red lac
that could be taken for black, or is this instead a different substance -
like perhaps a wax?
The verse is:

????????????????

?????????????????????? ?

???????????????????

????????????? ?????? ??????? ?
I would be grateful for any thoughts.
Thank you
Venetia

A friend has asked me whether there is a standard transliteration scheme
for rendering Sanskrit into modern Chinese.  My friend does not need a
properly scientific system--she is a yoga teacher working in China who is

suggestions would be much appreciated: please contact me off-list,
