In fact it has been applied to the story of Ramayana too. 2. In Das'aroopaka too this comes as part of discussion of Vastu, Vastu in general and not Vastu of Rupaka alone. Vastubhedas such as Prakhyaata, Utpaadya and Mis'ra also , though discussed in Das'aroopaka are applied to the Vastus or Itivrittas of S'ravyakaavyas als. 3. S'aakuntalam is not khyaatavrittam. It is mis'ravrittam. 4. Whether the Panchasandhi structure helps in understanding Vastus of Roopakas alone or it applies to Vastus of other narrative literary works also, can be checked by literary scholars. There is nothing inside the theory which is roopaka-specific. 5. Comparable to this in the western poetics is the five part structure of exposition, rising action, climax/crisis, falling action, denoument/resolution also in its origin comes from the theory of Drama. Is it not applied/applicable to other narratives? On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 11:08 PM, Dipak Bhattacharya wrote: > Please forgive this intrusion.

Next issue is slated for publication in January, 2015. Thank you, Lavanya *CALL FOR PAPERS:* The *Journal of South Asian Religious History* calls for original papers for inclusion in its inaugural January-February 2015 issue. *JSARH* is the first scholarly journal devoted solely to the role of faith systems in the history of the subcontinent as part of a broader effort to increase understanding of Hinduism and its variants, Buddhism, South Asian Islam, Jainism, Sikhism, and other South Asian religious traditions *as historical agents* (with special emphasis on religion-and-politics) in South Asia, the Indian Ocean rim, and the wider world. Paper topics should focus on some aspect of one or more South Asian religious tradition *as a force in subcontinental history*. Emphasis should be on history rather than theology and/or religious practice. Topics of any historical era will be considered, with preference given to papers highlighting the religion-and-politics phenomenon, especially in the early modern or modern periods.

We invite proposals for papers for the 40th Spalding Symposium on Indian Religions, which will be held in Edinburgh on 10th-12th April 2015. The theme this year is ?dialogue?, by which we mean discussion, conversation, debate, argument, and communication between and within the religious traditions of South Asia. Our purview includes both religions of South Asian origin wherever in the world they are being practised, and those of non South Asian origin present within South Asia. We welcome papers based upon all research methods, including textual, historical, ethnographic, sociological and philosophical. Presenters are usually allocated one hour for their paper and subsequent discussion, and will normally be expected to pay their own conference registration and expenses. (The Symposium fee, including food and accommodation, will be ?190, with a non-residential rate of ?65. Registration details will be sent separately.) In some cases financial assistance for speakers may be available. We also welcome proposals from doctoral students, who will be allocated a 30 minute slot, and offered free registration at the Symposium. We are delighted to announce our keynote lectures for the Symposium: Prof. Stephen C. Berkwitz (Missouri State University): ?So Near Yet So Far: Sri Lankan Strategies for Superseding Indian Cultural Forms? Prof. Uma Chakravarti (National Fellow, Indian Council of Historical Research): ?Contentious Dialogues: Three Moments From an Argumentative Past?

Following the workshop on ?Buddhist Manuscript Culture: Textuality and Materiality? held in April 2013, this workshop will once again mainly focus on books as cultural artefacts, but it will broaden its scope to encompass all the major religious and intellectual traditions that constituted the South Asian manuscript culture, many of which are well represented in the collections of the University Library at Cambridge. Particular attention will be paid to aspects of the history of manuscripts in pre-modern South Asia such as their production, physical characteristics, decoration, use, circulation, preservation and accessibility in relation to broader dimensions of cultural practice, religious affiliation, patronage and locality. Its echoes and parallels in other parts of Asia, such as Tibet and Southeast Asia, will also be part of the picture. The workshop is open for anyone who wishes to attend. Any queries can be sent to me off list. Please find the programme attached. The programme is also available online on the project weblog (http://sanskrit.lib.cam.ac.uk/the-south-asian-manuscript-book-material-textual-and-historical-investigations). Best wishes, Camillo A.

I will be there in November-January and I plan to attend classes at the Central Institute for Indian Languages in Mysore, but if there are some scholars whom I can contact, I would be very glad to do it, and it would be a great help for me. I already attended for two years the intensive modern Kannada courses at W?rzburg University offered by Prof. B.A. Viveka Rai and Dr. Katrin Binder, but I got only an introduction to classical and old Kannada. I am working on the process of legitimation in early medieval Karnataka, and I am mainly dealing with inscriptions, but I shall soon also consider the courtly texts. Therefore these months represent for me a great opportunity. Than you very much in advance, Elena Mucciarelli -------------------------------------------- Dr. des.

Gentium Plus and Brill are quite good, but I seem to remember that there are problems with some more outlandish combinations. At least, e.g., r + combining ring below + combining macron + combining acute accent works well with both fonts, and even with Times, though less perfectly.

Somehow, I find MSW with improvised shortcuts quite handy. But I thank you for the kind words and the programme! By the way, I apprehend some problems. The nasal sign of a dotted half-circle [[image: Inline image 2]] over vowels works in MSW Devnagari but cannot be typed as a standing sign when typing in Roman. For this the processor Baraha is useful. It is Unicode compliant and had to be purchased with Credit Card. The rules might have changed now, I do not know. Another way of doing that is to reverse the dot used with m for anusv?ra. Thus if one is typing ? for anusv?ra, for the nasal vowel one may type <*l* *?**l**a*> and then add in brackets (????). Apology for unsolicited advice. I am eager to know if the figure in Paint came in the mail.

Somehow, I find MSW with improvised shortcuts quite handy. But I thank you for the kind words and the programme! By the way, I apprehend some problems. The nasal sign of a dotted half-circle [] over vowels works in MSW Devnagari but cannot be typed as a standing sign when typing in Roman. For this the processor Baraha is useful. It is Unicode compliant and had to be purchased with Credit Card. The rules might have changed now, I do not know. Another way of doing that is to reverse the dot used with m for anusv?ra. Thus if one is typing ? for anusv?ra, for the nasal vowel one may type and then add in brackets (????). Apology for unsolicited advice. I am eager to know if the figure in Paint came in the mail.

It was not my intention to challenge this well-known fact. The statement of Ma?kha seems less well-known (except for a paper I am leaving aside here for good reasons). Except for the overall subject of his poem, which may be called "Pur??ic", the quote as such has in its given context nothing to do with any Vedic or Pur??ic "tradition". It was meant by Ma?kha as a very personal assertion. He reverts to it here and there on occasion because he felt committed to this principle to the degree that he considered himself - and was considered by his fellows - an exception to the ordinary court poet, and even made this attitude part of his authorial intention. It was therefore that I restricted my words about this interesting fact to " *Ma?kha*" alone and did not talk about a tradition, as I do not know of such a one. If you, or someone else, could kindly provide evidence for a Vedic or Pur??ic background of Ma?khas verdict (~ ~ "Let humans not be praised by humans, man should praise god alone"), which could be classified as a "tradition", it would certainly shed some light on the originality of this Kavi.

These MahAvAkya-s of the VedAnta are strictly for meditation with the sole aim to realise the oneness or identity. In none of the VedAnta traditions and especially in the Advaita vedAnta tradition also this visualisd identity is _not prescribed as a preliminary to daily worship._ In fact, it is the opposite of it: According to VedAnta, after realisation of aham brahmAsmi, there is no further ritual to be performed. !! But the Saiva Agamic/Tantric context is entirely different where this non-difference between the individual self and Siva is first visualised by the self and then the ritual of worship is performed. This visualised identity is the precondition for any worship in the SaivAgama. For that the _SaivAgama-s need not import it from the VedAnta_. And, there is no evidence also to prove such a borrowing. Further, visualising (dhyAna, bhAvanA) oneself as Rudra , Siva, etc. in the Agama/Tantric system is also fundamentally different from meditating ahaM brahmAsmi as prescribed in VedAnta. For, in the SaivAgama tradition the worshipper visualises himself to be Siva in all His full attributes as conceived and as prescribed in the respective SaivAgama-s by performing the various nyAsa-s, and reciting the mantra-s, whereas, herein lies the basic difference, in the VedAnta, the meditator meditates on Brahma without attributes or on Brahma for whom the VedAnta does not give any complete physical attributes as it is against the very vedAnta principle, and this meditation is done in vedAnta tradition without any nyAsa or mantra recitation. By the way, there are quite a few fundamental differences between the concept of Advaita and its connotations as proclaimed in the VedAnta and in the Saiva Agamic systems.

Ganesan, You are right about the worshiper's elevated consciousness. But the saying refers to the concept of sayujyata in the said references and it is stated in the context of internal worship (antaryaga: purification of inner being) but not the operation of supernatural. It is a mandatory requirement for the Saiva worshipper to elevate one's consciousness to Siva consciousness to be eligible to worship Siva. For this one needs to acquire certain divine qualities. Its elaborate explanation is found often in Puranas, Saiva scriptures and Saiva paddhati literature. This is fundamentally a Vedantic/Upanisadic concept which is said to be practiced in daily worship. I mean it is a ritualistic application of philosophical thought.

When I originally did the work, it took *much* longer than I had anticipated. I had thought I could just dust off a teaching bibliography, but it turned out to be several weeks of careful work. I should think my hourly rate of payment for the work was about 10% of the minimum wage. But I was pleased with the result - I think I did a useful job. And OUP's online site is good, and adds various nice internet-tweaks. But it's a licensed product. It's not available to the public, but only to institutional subscribers. Individual articles, like mine, are apparently sold through Amazon and other outlets for about $7 a pop. Last week I was contacted by OUP and invited to update the bibliography. They offered no payment. I asked, and was offered $50 worth of OUP books. I thought that was not worthwhile. I can't revise the bibliography meaningfully in 90 minutes. So I asked whether I could at least have free access to OBO in return for doing the revisions. I was told that this decision was above my editor's authority, and therefore "no." I have now sent OUP the following decision not to continue revising my (their) bibliography: After some reflection, I can't see why I would do this revision work for no meaningful remuneration, and no way of accessing my own work once online, and when OUP is presumably making profits from licensing the work I created. I hope you can see that there is little incentive for me. I think, actually, that the overall business model is seriously flawed. I would feel more motivated to do it, I think, if you were able to find someone in OUP with the authority to give me permanent gratis access to OBO. Sincerely, I know that several of my colleagues here in the INDOLOGY forum have also contributed excellent guides to OBO, so I thought I would share my experience. I have managed to write this whole email without using the word "exploitation." Oops... Sincerely, Dominik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Though I have no experience with OBO I have experience of writing for Indian origin encyclopaedias. The first time I wrote at the age of 26-30 I was paid nothing by an ancient Government Institute of fame. Next I wrote for one Hindu Encyclopaedia and paid half of what was promised. The third time I had an experience with an Institute at Bangalore. They did not pay anything. None of them replied to my queries. Only the Asiatic Society, Calcutta paid. But at present I decline to write for such projects. Naturally, I have full sympathy for you but think that you are not in so bad a position as that in which a connectionless, non-influential Indian contributor often is.

I have not been in 20 years, so there is a lot of catching up to do! The students will each be bringing at least one book about Nepal with them (aside from the research they will be doing before we leave), and the books will serve as a kind of on-site library at the hotel for them. I am trying to put together a good reading list for them to choose from - anything from history of Nepal, to the environment, and of course religion, art and culture. I have already included a few of David Gellner's books, Todd Lewis' Popular Buddhism, and Whelpton's History of Nepal. If any of you have recommendations to add, I would be most grateful. I am happy to circulate the results of this reading list after I am done putting it together. Of course, if you have great articles to include, I will happily to include those as well.

The work required was indeed significant; no less than that needed for a major article. Free access is hardly asking "too much," and I support your position not to contribute further revision without at least gaining this token in exchange for our work.

Houben) Date: Wed, 01 Oct 14 01:53:29 +0200 Subject: [INDOLOGY] Source of "nAdevo devam arcayet" In-Reply-To: <54293DF4.9000001@ifpindia.org> Message-ID: These references are interesting precisely in the light of what is already very clearly found in Vedic texts (RV 5.44.14-15) and ritual: see my article THE BRAHMIN INTELLECTUAL: HISTORY, RITUAL AND ?TIME OUT OF TIME? (JIPh 30 [2002]) paragr. 3.3. Jan 3.3 We thus see that the ritual as well as the Brahmana-explanations associated with it possess features inevitably undermining and doing away with the narrativity and historicity which, following Ricoeur?s comprehensive analysis, at once pervade and shape mundane life. ... For instance when the sacrificer in the Soma-sacrifice has undergone the consecration (diksa) he is declared consecrated (diksita) and one should not touch him nor call him by his own name until after the sacrifice is over (Caland and Henry 1906: 20?21). ... The Adhvaryu-priest, at the beginning of the main offering on new- or fullmoon day, is required to ?think on Prajapati? (prajapatim manasa dhyayan, Apastamba Srauta Sutra 2.12.7). ... formulas such as the so-called Dasahotr (Taittiriya Aranyaka 3.1) which gives cosmic identifications of participants and instruments in the sacrifice (Apastamba Srauta Sutra 4.9.3). ... The participants thus associate themselves with cosmic entities, or even lose their personalities of worldly narrative reality when they are identified as players in an ahistoric cosmic drama.
