Re: [INDOLOGY] Nārāyaṇagarta and Kayyaṭa Kashmiri pandits

[Walter Slaje]

The graphemes -rta and -rbha are indeed subject to confusion in the Śāradā
script.
A good example would be Srikanth Kaul's edition (1966) of Śrīvara's
Zayna-Taraṅgiṇī (2.209), where he made an - actually unnecessary -
"emendation" (bhū-ga*rbh*a : bhū-ga*rt*a), despite the uniform reading
"bhū-garbha" of all MSS:

*mañjūṣikāntarān nītvā taṃ paṭaikāvṛtaṃ śavam *|

*pituḥ pādatale tatra bhūgartābhyantare* <#_ftn1> *’kṣipat *|| 209 ||
------------------------------
<#_ftnref1> (Kaul's comment on pāda d:) "MSS and CB bhūgarbhā° (*mislec.
for Śār. rtā*)bhya°"

It is suggested to restore bhūgarbha- as uniformly transmitted:
"He took his body, covered by a single shroud, out of the coffin and laid
him down there *in the womb of the earth* at the feet of his father [Zayn]".

studia humanitatis impigro labore culturum et provecturum
non sordidi lucri causa nec ad vanam captandam gloriam,
sed quo magis veritas propagetur et lux eius, qua salus
humani generis continetur, clarius effulgeat.
