Subject: [INDOLOGY] training in poetic composition in traditional	Sanskrit education?

When Richard Gombrich taught the Sanskrit BA course at Oxford, Sanskrit
composition was an option on the syllabus.  In the finals, one could choose
Sanskrit comp., or instead a longer unseen translation (if I recall
correctly).

I think Skt. composition formed part of the syllabus under Burrow, before
Richard, which would take it back to the war.  I expect before that, it was
also there, Sanskrit being taught on the model of Greats.

I don't know about the present syllabus.

Best,
Dominik Wujastyk

Actually, composition was a mandatory paper/exam at the finals when I took it at Oxford in 1972. I think it was done away with sometime after that.

In Sanskrit Finals, composition is no longer mandatory. For the BA
students, it is one option among many others for the so-called special
subject (1 paper), chosen area (2 papers), or a potential dissertation
(instead of the special subject paper). The core syllabus remains roughly
the same (6 papers: 2 papers for subsidiary language; Panini, Vedic,
general essay paper on history/literature/arts with additional input from
special subject; and unseen translations).

I took Finals in 2012. Richard Gombrich was/is still active and around, but
my main Sanskrit teachers were Chris Minkowski, Jim Benson, Alexis
Sanderson, Jowita Kramer, and Csaba Dezs?.

With my best wishes,
Paul Gerstmayr

I am afraid that what recent contributors have written about "Sanskrit composition" in the Oxford final exams is a bit misleading. In this context, "composition" meant translation from a set passage of English, usually from a literary work by a well known author. This precisely followed how Latin and Greek were taught in schools when I was young -- and for centuries before that. No originality was involved.

This makes quite a different situation from that in India. "Composition"
meaning translation *into* Sanskrit *from* a diffrent language is in the
Indian curricula from the secondary stage. I thank Professor Gombrich for
the clarification.

I point to a relevant topic. The position of Sanskrit in the Indian schools
has now been touched upon in the List. This calls attention to the European
Classical languages in the Western schools. Can it be expected that someone
threw light on the position of the Classical languages in the European and
American schools. As I knew indirectly French/English was the general
preference as the second languaghe and Classical as the third. Is it still
the preferred combination?

Dear Dipak,

     Speaking about the situation of "second" languages in the University
of Michigan, we have a general rule for all undergraduate students that
they all must learn at least one non-English language for four semesters (2
years).  The university teaches 67 languages, including modern and
classical languages, and any one of these can satisfy the under-graduate
language requirement.  The most popular "second" language is Spanish, with
something like 3000 students for first and second year Spanish.  I could be
wrong about the specific number, but it is very high.  Within my Department
of Asian Languages and Cultures, Chinese and Japanese have enrollments
above 500 students.  Hindi attracts somewhere near 100 students, while the
enrollment for First Year Sanskrit in the upcoming Fall semester is 12.
     This refers to the general requirements for all undergraduates.  Of
course there are specialized departments for modern and classical languages
etc. and there are students, graduate and undergraduate, who are studying
those languages and cultures as their primary focus.  The numbers of
students specializing in various languages differ widely.

I cannot give a comprehensive answer to your question, Dipak, but here's
what I know:

- In Germany, depending on the school, Latin may be the first, second or
third foreign language (my own experience in the 90s: Latin from 5th grade
(age 10/11), French from 7th, Ancient Greek from 9th; this was at a
so-called 'humanist' secondary school).

- In the UK, the situation is similar, I think - at the school I started
teaching at a year ago, Latin is offered from Year 7 (around age 11) and
some Greek from Year 8 (then introduced properly in Year 9); there are
schools that offer Latin from Year 9, when students then take it for three
years up to GCSE. A number of schools also offer it as morning, lunch-time
or after-school clubs: the Classical languages are mostly offered in
fee-paying schools, thus restricting access to them for many families. To
strive towards greater equality, many teachers at state schools thus make a
point to offer these 'privileged' subjects as much as they can.

And then there are places like St James Schools, who are involved in
bringing Sanskrit back to UK schools. (I started teaching at the boys'
school last summer; we're working hard to integrate Sanskrit into the
Classics department and teach Latin, Greek and Sanskrit in parallel. At the
boys' school, we start in Year 7 and offer Sanskrit all the way up to A
Level; the girls' school start in Year 6; and Sanskrit is taught all
throughout the Junior School (ages 5-10), mostly in the form of chanting
and calligraphy/writing, but with quite a bit of actual grammar and
vocabulary for all those who show an aptitude for it.)

- In the US, I believe, Latin is taught a) rarely pre-college (and Greek
hardly at all), and b) mostly only from 9th grade (i.e. in high school);
but I know e.g. Montessori schools that offer it earlier.

I hope this is helpful.

All the best,
      Antonia

If I understand correctly that means quite nearness of the systems ---
three languages in the secondary stage, two in the undergraduate stage and
only specialisation subject in the post-graduate.Relevantly there is
something more in India which has Sanskrit Universities where the long
reigning rules of the UGC do not necessarily prevail. According to rule one
knows just one language by training, that is Sanskrit! .
Is there any parallel to the Sanskrit Universities in the West? Theological
Universities?.

Gundert studied Theology in T?bingen and learned Sanskrit. He completed his doctorate in T?bingen in 1835. From 1838, he worked for the Basel Mission in Nettur in southwestern India, where Malayalam is spoken. There he founded a school, translated from Malayalam into German, and translated the New Testament into Malayalam. He left India in 1859 due to illness. His most important works in Malayalam were therefore completed in the southwestern German town of Calw, and include the hymn book and his Malayalam-English dictionary, which remains in print today.

Dear Friends,

Is someone able to help me locate the verse in the Ramayana where Sita
rests her head in Laksman's lap because she has a headache?

Thank you.

Dear All,
does anyone have a scanned version of Cunningham's Archaeological Survey 
Report, volume 3 (Report for the year 1871-72) that they are willing and 
able to share? Or point me toward a web link? I couldn't find this 
particular volume on Archive.org or DLI, nor anywhere else through 
Google. Google books does have several entries that may be this volume 
(e.g. 
https://books.google.com/books/about/Report_for_the_Year_1871_72.html?id=LpeFAAAAIAAJ; 
https://books.google.com/books/about/Archaeological_Survey_of_India_Reports.html?id=-wk3AQAAMAAJ), 
but these cannot be previewed, much less downloaded, at least from Hungary.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Dear Peter,
thanks for this link, which I had used once or twice earlier, but which 
I had quite forgotten about. However, they unfortunately do not seem to 
have this volume. I'll wait and see if the marvellous power of this list 
turns up a copy.
Best,

Message-ID: <E5F571B94D36DB4AA048E0CF279CFC7089CBD85F@SSVMEXDAG01MB01.tufts.ad.tufts.edu>

Can anyone out there point me toward Nyaya discussions of ways in which an example can be faulty? Secondary sources often state(without attribution as far as I can tell) that the example must be held in common by both sides of the debate, but I cannot find any discussion of that specific point in either the Nyaya Sutras of in Vatsyayana's commentary (unless I am overlooking something). Surely with so much attention being paid to faults in the reason and in the thesis, there should be some discussion of either unshared examples or of examples in which it is doubtful that they even exist (".... like a unicorn").
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

If I remember correctly, this is not the Nyaya definition which says  
that an "example" is what is accepted by the learned and unlearned. Of  
course it is questionable whether dRSTAnta in the NS means example or  
only "an obvious state of affairs." The definition you refer to would  
appear for instance in the NyAyapraveza.
Best wishes,

Dear Friend,

Your exact query was not clear to me. Are you looking for the treatment of
fallacy in Ny?ya? This subject has been extensively treated in Ny?ya - both
old and new.

NS 1.1.25 defines the d.r.s.Anta by stating that it must be something the meaning of which is commonly understood by laukika-s and (presumably more discerning or at least better trained) parIk.saka-s.  

1.1.25: laukikaparIk.sakANAM yasminn arthe buddhisAmyaM sa d.r.s.tAnta.h.

I think this is a fascinating and wise way to formulate the matter, and I think it partially answers your query.

Cheers,
John

For a definition of the term *d????nta *see, for example, Carakasamhita
Vimanasthana 8.34 (in the ed. of Trikamji):

atha d????nta? ? d????nto n?ma yatra m?rkhavidu??? buddhis?mya?, yo var?ya?

Oberhammer's (Unter Mitarb. von Ernst Prets und Joachim Prandstetter)
Begriffsw?rterbuch, vol. 2, which I do not have at my desk, should provide
additional references s.v. *d????nta.*

With kind regards,

Dear Joseph,

There may be some material of use to you in:

Shoryu Katsura and Ernst Steinkellner (eds)
The Role of the Example (drstanta) in Classical Indian Logic  
 New Delhi, India Motilal Banarsidass Publishers Pvt. Ltd.

I recall faults of the example being commonly invoked in the Tattvasamgraha and its Panjika
in critiquing various positions. For instance, at verse 1974, Subhagupta is credited with
defending atomism as follows: ?Because forms that are collections of subtle things are external visibles owing to grossness, like mountains and such like."

In his discussion of Santaraksita's critique, Kamalasila says, "... if ?because of grossness? is taken as a warranting reason based on grossness as an ultimate reality, a substantial property, then such grossness is not proven ...
and the example [of mountains] is in no way probative."

So K is saying, in effect, we don't accept your example, in which case it clearly does not hold for "both parties."

Sorry not to have included the diacritical marks,
but hope this is of some help anyway,

Matthew

Dear colleagues,

I?m working right now on computational practices in the Dharma??stras and Artha??stra, particularly as related to state administration, and I am seeking the guidance of the list for reliable sources on such computational practices in South Asia in the classical period and earlier. Indian mathematics is well outside my area, but most of what I have read does not address the kinds of operations and procedures found in these texts, perhaps because they are too elementary.

I am looking, in particular, for secondary sources that deal with how computational operations such as addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, etc. are conceived of and written in Sanskrit or the Prakrits within or across genres. So far, some of my best guides have been the various grammars that are available, but I am yet to find a systematic, comprehensive treatment.

I?m also interested in any primary or secondary sources that deal with with everyday, applied computational practices, such as calculating the weight or volume of goods in the market, fines or interest, or lengths and distances. Any information on applied measurement practices would also be very welcome.

With thanks in advance,
Mark

I published some times ago an edition and translation into French of a
commentary on Bh?skara's L?l?vat? where all these elementary
operations are explained. If you are interested I could help. If you
do not read French language, at least you can read the Sanskrit text...

On these subjects: interest, mixture and so on, I have not finished
yet the edition/translation, but you can find some parts here:

Search on my name: Fran?ois Patte.

Or directly:

If I understand correctly, what you actually mean is d????nt?bh?sa? If so, in the Ny?yabh??ya (NBh), the issue is conflated with hetv?bh?sa ? see NBh 1.1.37. However, it is discussed separately in the Ny?ya-v?rttika. 

Outside of the Ny?ya tradition, you have Buddhist ?a?karasv?min?s Ny?ya-prave?a definisions and typologies:

Can anyone out there point me toward Nyaya discussions of ways in which an example can be faulty? Secondary sources often state(without attribution as far as I can tell) that the example must be held in common by both sides of the debate, but I cannot find any discussion of that specific point in either the Nyaya Sutras of in Vatsyayana's commentary (unless I am overlooking something). Surely with so much attention being paid to faults in the reason and in the thesis, there should be some discussion of either unshared examples or of examples in which it is doubtful that they even exist (".... like a unicorn").
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

to be a brilliantly clear exposition of medieval Indian mathematics.

Dear Eli,

Thank you for this information and congratulations on saving this post. Could you please
clarify what you mean by "in general professors 
at the University of Leipzig who are not native speakers of German are 
required to teach in English within two years of their appointment"?

I assume that you mean that they can teach in English for the first two years
but must then switch over to German. Is this correct?

In-Reply-To: <CAEzwJrB7kx2U2zj19ptCVFHQpRQbCE69aSYxBMpnQDDFsOe+=Q@mail.gmail.com>
Message-ID: <8FFE8A3B-D447-4D9A-8D7A-67C4A422C9C1@earthlink.net>

Hi. I?m copy/pasting the information I received from a scholar, well-versed in the Ramayanas of Kamban, Valmiki, and Tulasidas. Hope this helps.

+++++++++++

Received from Mr. Hari Krishnan, Bangalore, India:

Sita does not get a headache in Valmiki, Kamban or Tulasidas.  There are two places where Sita is shown as hugging Rama, repeat, Rama in Valmiki Ramayana. Occasion number one when Sita insists that she should also be taken to the forest, at the end of a three sarga long arguments, she gets exhausted and embraces Rama, drenching his chest with her tears.

??? ?? ??? ???????? ?????? ?????? ??? |
??????? ????? ?????? ????? ???????? ??????? || ?-??-??

22. saa = that Seetha; shokasantaptaa = burnt by grief; aayastaa = having exerted; vilapya = lamented; bahu = much; karuNam = in pity; aaliNgya = embraced; patim = the husband; chukrosha = cried; bhR^isham = a lot; sasvaram = with loud voice.

Seetha, burnt by grief, having got exerted, lamented much piteously, embraced her husband and cried a lot with loud voice.

(Ayodhya Kanda, Sarga 30, Sloka 22)


Occasion number two after Rama eliminates Khara, Dushana and their 14,000 strong army single handedly and returns to their hermitage, Sita runs to him and embraces him.

??? ???????? ????? ??????? ?????????? ??? ????? || ?-??-??
???? ?????? ?????? ???????? ???????? |

39b, 40a. vaidehii = Seetha; shatru hantaaram = enemy, eliminator; maharSiiNaam sukha aavaham = for great-sages, rejoice, accorder; tam bhartaaram dR^iSTvaa = him, her husband, on seeing; hR^iSTaa babhuuva = became, rejoiced; pariSvaje = embraced.

And Seetha on seeing her husband, the eliminator of enemies and accorder of happiness to sages, embraced her husband Rama, rejoicingly. [3-30-39b, 40a]


The above are the ONLY two instances where embracing is mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana.  (I have understood the question.  I am coming to the point.  Kindly read on.)

Kamban eliminates all scenes that involve a physical contact even between Rama and Sita.  The above scenes are SKIPPED by Kamban.  

Lakshmana's shyness for women is spoken of vividly by both Valmiki and Kamban.  In Kishkindha Kanda, when the ornaments discarded by Sita were shown to Rama, Rama asks Lakshmana to see if they were the jewels of Sita.  Lakshmana answers:

???? ?????? ?? ????? ???????? ??????? ???? ???????? |
? ???? ?????? ?????? ? ???? ?????? ??????? || ?-?-??
?????? ?? ???????? ??????? ??? ?????????? |

22. evam uktaH tu raameNa = thus said, but, by Rama; lashmanaH = Lakshmana; vaakyam idam abraviit = sentence, this said; aham keyuure na jaanaami = I, bracelets, do not, know; aham na jaanaami kunDale = I, do not, know, earrings; nityam paada abhivandanaat = always, to feet, because I salute; nuupure tu = anklets, but; abhijanaami = I know them well.


When Rama thus said Lakshmana said this, "I know not the bracelets and I know not the earrings But because I always salute her feet I know these anklets well...[4-6-22]

When Lakshmana says that he has not seen any ornament of Sita, excepting her Nupur, how would he allow Sita to rest on his laps, even if Sita did not mind doing so!  Mere absurdity, to put it very mildly.  

Once again, this is also skipped by Kamban.  He does not speak of this portion at all.



Then, when they were entering the forest in Aranya Kanda, in one place Rama tells Lakshmana to help Sita to get into the boat.  Sita holds the hands of Lakshmana and gets into the boat.  Helping to get into a boat while it is tugged at the banks necessarily involves Lakshmana having to hold her bodily, not just by the hands.



???? ????? ?? ??????? ???????? ????? ????? ???? |
?????? ? ????? ????????? ???????? ?????????? || ?-??-??

75. nara vyaaghraH = "Oh; Lakshmana the tiger among men! Tvam = you; aaroha = get into; imaam = this; naavam = boat; sthityaam = stationed; (here); parigR^ihya = having helped; siitaam cha = Sita; mansviniim = the virtuous wife; aaropaya = step into it."

"Oh, Lakshmana the tiger among men! You get into the boat stationed here unhurriedly afterwards, having helped Sita the virtuous wife step into it."



? ??????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ???????????? |
?????? ???????? ??????? ?????? ????????? ??? || ?-??-??

76. shrutvaa = hearing; shaasanam = the command; sarvam = wholly; bhraatruH = of his (elder) brother; saH = that Lakshmana; aatmavaan = prudent; apratikuulayan = not resisting it; aaropaya maithiliim = having made Sita to ascend (the boat); puurvam = first; aaruroha = stepped into (the boat); tataH = afterwards.

Hearing the command completely of his elder brother, the prudent Lakshmana, by not counteracting it, made Sita to ascend the boat first and stepped into it afterwards.


This is one place (and only one) when Valmiki has explicitly stated that Lakshmana 'touched' Sita.  Needless to say, this is absent in Kamban.

I have written on this as follows (in my character study)

In fact it was Lakshmana who helped her get into the boat, ordered by Rama.  That goes without saying that Lakshmana would have had to hold her hand, help her to keep her balance by holding her tight et al.  But that takes place as naturally as between a mother and son.  Later, when Rama helps her to get into a ferry when crossing the Yamuna, the poet employs the epithet lajjamanam ? shy, abashed ? to describe her when Rama takes hold of her hand (in the presence of Lakshmana and others).  


Having said all that, it is beyond imagination to say that Sita rested on the laps of Lakshmana because she had a headache.  Even the very word headache does not occur in Valmiki only once, referring to Sita.  

Even Rt Hon'ble Srinivasa Sastri who dealt with such places elaborately, does not mention this incident.  It is not there in Ramayana.  IT IS NOT THERE IN RAMAYANA.

V.S.Rajam

Message-ID: <CAB3-dzegNoscsPNTWE6hHJnSjmMdKdo1mLrLcm-Z3LriYB2Ygw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Colleagues,

Yesterday, my wife and I attended a Hindu wedding near Detroit.  The
wedding on the whole went fine.  However, the priest, while having the
bride and the groom take the oath of commitments, did two things.  In
addition to "dharme ca arthe ca k?me ca", he added "mok?e ca".  This was
something I have not heard before.  But more shocking was the fact that he
inadvertently dropped "na" from the phrase "na aticar?mi".  Evidently, the
priest did not realize this in the flow of his performance, and no one else
attending the wedding, besides me, noticed this either.  Clearly, dropping
the "na" in "na aticar?mi" was an error.  But is the addition of "mok?e ca"
to "dharme ca arthe ca k?me ca" found in some regions of India?

Many Vaishnava weddings, perhaps not the standard Hindu model, speak of moksha and shuddha-bhakti as goals of family life.

Dear friends and colleagues,

Dear friends and colleagues,
I am happy to announce the advertisement of the position of an

very glad that it could be saved and will be filled again. I leave the  
text of the advertisement untranslated because in general professors  
at the University of Leipzig who are not native speakers of German are  
required to teach in English within two years of their appointment.

be downloaded from here:

 Journals with Buddhist Studies material (Indica et Buddhica)
 http://indica-et-buddhica.org/indica-et-buddhica-tabulae-current.pdf

Each of the titles within the file link directly to bibliographic
details on the Indica et Buddhica site, e.g.:

 Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
 http://indica-et-buddhica.org/tabulae/b/bulletin-of-the-school-of-oriental-and-african-studies-university-of-london

The title list and supporting material falls out of work on Scholia
and Scholiast:

 Indica et Buddhica -- Scholia :: Scholiast
 http://indica-et-buddhica.org/scholia-scholiast


Comments, corrections and additions are most welcome.



Kind regards,

 Richard

Dear Martin [and James],

Well, of course there is the padapatha analysis of the samhita text and
there is Sayana's commentary.  But if you are looking for a contemporary
scholarly edition of the RV which parses everything, I don't think that
such a thing exists.

However, in conjunction with their recent translation of the entire RV,
Brereton and Jamison have initiated a website where they intend to comment
in more detail on their translation.  They have invited other Rg Veda
specialists to add comments as well. This may eventually evolve into
something like what you are looking for, but surely it will take many years.

The website is:

http://rigvedacommentary.alc.ucla.edu/

The website does not allow for open commentary, however.  The authors
prefer to confine discussion for now to their RV colleagues.

Best wishes,

George Thompson

Message-ID: <55F3DDED.5080205@pbhome.se>

One occasionally comes across /?rya/ in Sanskrit texts either suffixed 
to a name (e.g., R?m?nuj?rya) or prefixed to it (e.g., 
?ry?valokite?vara), but I haven't seen this often enough to be certain 
if either variant is peculiar to a particular region, religious 
community, etc. (The two examples given are representative of my limited 
experience.) As a result, I am uncertain how to understand the 
occasional /?rya/ in a compounded list of names. I'd be grateful if the 
vidvans of the list could tell me whether it is more usual as a prefix 
or suffix, or under what circumstances this might vary.

Martin, if your compounded list of names is in a Buddhist text, then it is
almost certain that *?rya* is a prefix, as in ?ry?valokite?vara. In many
Mah?y?na Buddhist texts *?rya* has a more specific meaning than just an
honorific. It means that one has reached the third of the five paths, the
path of seeing (*dar?ana-m?rga*), when for the first time ones sees reality
directly. From that point on, one is an *?rya*, and the title *?rya* is
often prefixed to one's name. Thus, ?rya N?g?rjuna, ?ry?sa?ga, etc.

The case of ?r? is similar, although it is definitely more common as a prefix. 

My impression is that ?rya is more common as a prefix, especially in Classical Sanskrit (e.g., ?rya c??akya in the play Mudr?-r?k?asa). Its being an address or attention-calling term (functionally, not semantically) like he, bho? etc. also makes it natural that it should occur as a prefix (?ryeh?ty upaguhya occurs in verse 4 of Samudra-gupta?s Allahabad inscription). I also recall that texts on dramaturgy, poetics etc. prescribe that ?rya, among other words, is to be used as an address term. 

The use of ?rya as a suffix may have been more common in referring to women, since its Pkt and later derivates (ajj?, ?.? etc.) seem to occur after female names, unless the use of ayy? at the end of male names occurring in South Indian languages is related to ?rya. Female deity names may also have been exceptional as in ?ry?mbik?.

Message-ID: <CAJGj9eZh63-Qe9MGg4uzZZwZZRL3=qonq9DqyRJwJe_hR+JXdQ@mail.gmail.com>

In classical Telugu literature, to replace the masculine suffix ayya with
Arya in masculine personal names was a common practice. For example, there
were names of poets such as chintalapUDi ellanAryuDu (ellanArya+u+Du, Du
being one more masculine Telugu suffix, u occuring for euphony). This
formula is followed in changing the Telugu masculine personal names ending
in the suffix ayya into their Sanskritized forms by changing ayya into Arya
e.g. Nanayya (Nanni/Nanna+ayya) is changed into NannapArya
(Nanni/Nanna+apa(<appa)+Arya). ( This is similar to the feminine Telugu
personal names ending in the suffix amma being changed into their
'Sanskritized' forms ending in ambA, e.g. Tirumalamma is changed into
TirumalAmbA)

There are family names such as ayyadEvara in which ayya is a prefix in
Telugu speaking families.

                 ---------------------      --------------------
 -------------------- -----------------------

AryAmbA is the name of Adi Sankara's mother.

Words such as ayya utta (Aryaputra )/ ayya utto (Arya putrah) etc. are used
in Bhasa's plays such as pratimA.

Aryaka is the name of the prince in mrichhakaTika.

Many thanks to Artur Karp, David Reigle, Ashok Aklujkar and Nagaraj 
Paturi for their input on this topic. It seems my original impression -- 
that /?rya /is more common as a suffix in the south, and as a prefix in 
Buddhist contexts -- is somewhat justified, but that there are no 
clear-cut rules.

Message-ID: <CAC68JpvCOuafDBUSdXojjzs43TcPj2fLECXLj+tVhKPo0vg-iw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear INDOLOGY members,

Can anybody tell us the name of the deity on the attached photograph, and
the festive occasion for which the offerings have been prepared (also
taking the month of the year into account)?

The photograph was taken in New Delhi, India, March 2007.

The offerings include pottery with sprouted Barley (*Hordeum vulgare*), a
decorated coconut (*Cocos nucifera*) and flowers of several plants.

Sprouting barley has also been documented in Calcutta (november 2014),
where it is offered for sale as germinated grain and as seedlings in
pottery, similar to the one on the photo.

I am asking this question on behalf of the author of the photograph, Ren?
Cappers. He is currently preparing a book on traditional agriculture
practices and food preparation.

With kind regards and thanks in advance for your help,

Roelf Barkhuis

The visible part of the icon is common to many deities female and male ?
Lak?m?, K?rtika, Vi?vakarman, Vi??u and others. It is not K?l? nor
Sarasvat? nor ?iva.  The covering does not allow one to see if there are
four hands. There are many local deities too not palpably different from
one another.  Unknowingly the question presents itself as a brain teaser
which it does not intend to be.

Could you specify the locality where the temple is situated?

Agricultural offeings are made to Durgaa too. See D.P.Chattopadhyay,
Lokayata, chapter on Gauri. She has ten hands but rides a lion. So does
Jagaddhaatrii who has four hands and is a form of Durga in common belief.
The six hands are uniknown to me.

Dear Roelf,

I would say it's Durga.
Enlarging the photograph you can see a number of plaques among the offerings. They bear the canonic image of Durga sitting on her lion, alongside with the canonic inscriptions in Hindi: mAtA rAnI kA SR~NgAr (the love of the Goddess).

Best,

Some further options are to be allowed. Jaddhaatrii too sits on a lion.
Unless four other hands
 are hidden the six hands too are obstacles.

Dear Sir

This is an idol of Goddess Parvati. The pottery with sprouted Barley is offered to this deity when Gaurivrat is observed in Gujarat. The unmarried girls observed this Vrat for five days, in which they strictly observed fast and do not take salt and eat only milk, fruit and wheat. This is observed with faith to achieve good husband like Lord Siva. The sprouted Barley is sign of fertility.

Dear list,

I am trying to identify a work mentioned by Harik???a in the 
Kr???kau?alya section of his B?hajjyoti??r?ava from 1871 CE. Discussing 
his Snakes & Ladders-like Karmapa??a game, he lists the following 
sources for it:

d???v? karmavip?k?rka? pur??a? g?ru?a? tath? /
??t?tapasm?ti? m?tsya? ?r?madbh?gavat?dikam // 6.20.254

Now, the work I am interested in identifying is the Karmavip?k?rka. 
While there are, of course, numerous works on karmavip?ka, the only work 
given by NCC carrying the exact title Karmavip?k?rka (though also simply 
known as Karmavip?ka) is a work attributed to ?a?karabha??a, son of 
N?laka??ha.

Could anyone with a better overview of karmavip?ka texts than myself 
tell me if this might be the work referred to by Harik???a?

Any suggestions are most welcome, including references to secondary 
literature on karmavip?ka and karmavip?ka texts.

Kind regards,
Jacob

Hi

Velankar in the Jinaratnako?a (reference below) lists manuscripts of four separate works entitled Karmavip?ka (p. 72-73) (nothing listed matches Karmavip?k?rkam) unfortunately.

I have no idea if these are relevant to your question but you make like to explore more:

(1) Karmavip?ka of Gargar?i ((7 commentaries extant), published Bhavnagar in samvat 1972 (JAS series; no 52) 
(2) K. of Devendras?ri (2 commentaries extant)
(3) K. of ?ubha??la Ga?i (1 manuscript known)
(4) K. of Mallid?sa (2 manuscripts known)

Velankar, H.D., 1944, Jinaratnako?a: an alphabetical register of Jain works and authors (vol. 1 works (no more published)), Bhankarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona.

The image has eight hands. A??abhuj? is Durgaa with eight hands. There are
quite a few temples of this deity. One is situated at Vindhyachal on the
left bank of the Ganges in Mirzapur near Varanasi.
I apologise for double posting. It was posted out of thread that could
create confusion.

The large *V?ddhaS?ry?runaKarmavip?ka*, that is quite well known in the
literature, casts S?rya as one of the main interlocutors.  I don't know if
that somehow explains the -arka.  Probably not, but I thought I'd mention
it.

The VSAK was published by Khemar?ja ?r?k???ad?sa in Mumbai in 1909; the
edition and also a fine manuscript of the work are both available in the
Wellcome Library in London.

Dear list,
Could someone point me to any treatment of the question of why the Caraka Sa?hit? has come down to us with that particular sequence of chapters? E.g., why is the philosophical disquisition of the tisrai?a??ya chapter, the eleventh of the thirty chapters of the S?trasth?na, between one on the categorisation of diseases and one on v?ta? Of course, the simplest way to respond to this is to think that compendia do not always obey the rules of sequence that other texts may have, and that individual chapters can be accessed as and when required. Is that in fact the most sensible way of dealing with the location of chapters? Or has anyone discussed any possible justification for seeing an architectonic in the text?
Thank you.

American Council for Southern Asian Art
(ACSAA) Symposium XVII

The American Council for Southern Asian Art (ACSAA) will hold its 17th biennial meeting at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada, on October 15-17th, 2015.

ACSAA symposia occur in alternating years, and serve as opportunities to meet colleagues, reconnect with mentors and graduate school cohorts, and share one's current research with the field. From senior scholars to graduate students, ACSAA symposia are one of the primary ways ACSAA members gather and support one another, share ideas with a group of like-minded colleagues, and participate in the ACSAA community.

*Comments on the book*

*?Down through the ages a large number of hymns and stotra-s have been
composed in honour of Hanuman?also known as Mahavir. Of these the most
popular is Goswami Tulasi Das?s famous forty-verse hymn to Hanuman called
the Hanuman Chalisa. This is recited by millions of Hindus everyday around
the world. However, analytical work on this text is not easily available.
In the present book Shri Nityanand Misra has translated and annotated the
text based on the acclaimed Hindi commentary Mahaviri (1983) by Swami
Ramabhadracharya. This throws a great deal of light on the deeper meaning
of Tulasi Das?s famous work, and will be welcomed by scholars and laymen
alike. I commend Shri Nityanand Misra for the devotion and dedication with
which he has undertaken this work.?*

Sabha;

former Regent, President, and Governor of Jammu & Kashmir;

former Cabinet Minister, Government of India; and

former ambassador of India to the United States)



*?Inspired in equal measure by profound devotion and immense knowledge, the
Mahaviri commentary on the beloved and revered Hanuman-Calisa will be
welcomed by the many devoted reciters of this praise-poem who would like to
explore its deeper meanings. Buttressing his insights with numerous
citations of authoritative Sanskrit texts and the principal writings of
Tulasidasa, Svami Ramabhadracarya both situates the calisa in the ancient
Hindu literary tradition, and also shows it to contain a veritable
distillation or essence of the Ramayana Katha. Nityananda Misra?s careful
English translation, scholarly yet readable, will make these insights
accessible to a broader audience.?*

Message-ID: <5600320F.9060202@asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de>

Dear colleagues,

you may have heard of the Japanese government's plans to close down
humanities and social science departments at national universities. A
decree to this effect was issued earlier this year, and would affect
altogether 86 universities. Many of these universities -- Kyoto and
Tokyo appear to have resisted -- would stop enrolling new students
already in the coming year, and phase out all (!) humanities and social
science programs. Having myself earned a PhD in Japan, I am deeply
shocked by this proposal.

Considering Japan's long-standing traditions in Indology and Buddhist
Studies, this should be of great concern to all in the field. A petition
has been initiated, and can be signed here:

    Closing of Humanities and Social Science Departments in Japanese
    Universities

<https://networks.h-net.org/node/22055/discussions/84336/closing-humanities-and-social-science-departments-japanese>

by Philip Brown <https://networks.h-net.org/users/philip-brown>

I pass on the following notice regarding the closing of humanities and
social sciences programs in Japanese national universities.  For further
information, please contact A.D. Smith at the address below.  This
message contains more specific details than earlier missives.

*Subject:* future of social sciences and humanities in Japan



Dear Fellow Academics,

Japan's current education minister is intent to closing all of the
humanities, economics, law, and social science departments in the
country's public sector universities, which include University of Tokyo,
Kyoto University, and indeed most of the other elite, research-intensive
institutions. The jobs of many of our Japanese colleagues are at stake,
since most Japanese business historians work in the affected departments.

Here is a link to the /Times Higher Education Supplement/ story about
the closure of social science and humanities departments in Japan.

https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/social-sciences-and-humanities-faculties-close-japan-after-ministerial-decree

The specious justification for the closure of these departments is
financial cost. There may be another agenda at work. We believe that
this petition, which is addressed to both the Minister of Education and
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe may be effective since Japan's ruling party is
divided into rival factions, not all of which shares the
anti-intellectual or ultra-nationalist views of the current Minister of
Education.


Please share this important petition with all of your contacts.

https://www.change.org/p/hakuban-shimomura-shinz%C5%8D-abe-reconsider-the-closure-of-social-sciences-and-humanities-faculties-in-japan?recruiter=386259020&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Please note that my support for this petition reflects only my views.
The petition does not represent the views of the University of Liverpool.

Many thanks,

Dear list members,


I have a question concerning a passage from the Tamil text Ku?i?cipp???u 189-194. It describes a peacock which has drunk from the juice of a fruit thinking it was water, and got drunk. It is swaying to and fro on the song (p??i) which is slowly creeping (?r) on/along the rope (kayi?u) of the dancing women. The position of the word for rope is ambiguous: are the dancing women holding a rope or are the notes creeping along the rope? I think the latter. My question is if ?rope? (Tamil kayi?u, Skt rajju) is a technical term from music (or dance). The dictionaries (Tamil Lexicon and Monier-Williams) give no answer.


Kind regards

?= ?Jason Birch (SOAS, London)
?= ?Philipp Maas (University of Vienna)
?= ?James Mallinson (SOAS, London)
?= ?Federico Squarcini (Universit? Ca? Foscari, Venice).


OVERVIEW

The conference was conceived in response to the most recent developments in yoga research at various institutional levels. The aim of the event is to showcase and advance contemporary research on yoga. By bringing together an international community of researchers we hope to both initiate and to continue substantial discussion on the subject, taking into account the polysemy of the term yoga and the historical developments of the phenomena it designates.

During this conference, we would like to focus on yoga in both its textual and performative aspects, drawing attention to the dialectical relationship between the two. We are also keen to discuss methodological approaches to the study of yoga. We aim to provide ground for interdisciplinary discussions involving, amongst others, indologists, scholars of religion, philosophers, philologists and linguists, anthropologists, sociologists, and historians. Last but not least, we are hoping to offer the non-academic public and yoga practitioners a nuanced, research-based insight into these complex topics.

Dear Gayathri,

In the official letter announcing this Vedanta seminar, obviously on
Advaita Vedanta, the third and fourth paragraphs say:

"The schools of philosophy founded and propagated by the Gurus like Vyasa,
Sankara, and Sureswaracharya are some of the best available systems of
Indian philosophy. They have embellished the Upanishads to establish their
authenticity.

"However, this great Indian tradition is on the wane due to some selfish,
reprobate and untruthful preceptors. This situation has provided a perfect
launch pad for the divine manifested disciple of Sree Govinda Bhagavatpada,
the peerless seer, Srimad Adi Sankaracharya, who has restored the sanctity
of this great Indian tradition through his teachings of Advaita Philosophy
? Monism or Non-Dualism to bring out the real radiance of Truth of the
beautiful Soul."

Do you know who they mean by "some selfish, reprobate and untruthful
preceptors"? Thanks.

Best regards,

David Reigle

There seems to be a tense-related mistake in the first line of the
paragraph. In fact there are many other such problems with the English in
the announcement. It may make sense if it is corrected as follows:

"However, this great Indian tradition* was *on the wane due to some selfish,
reprobate and untruthful preceptors. This situation  provided a perfect

Thanks, Matthew and Nagaraj. The present tense verb "is" in the sentence,
"However, this great Indian tradition is on the wane due to some selfish,
reprobate and untruthful preceptors," does make it sound like the reference
could be to contemporary preceptors. If, however, the Sanskrit announcement
letter is the original one and the English letter is only its translation,
then we do indeed have the past tense verb ?s?t, "was," in this sentence.
In that case, and without further clarification from the R???riya-Sa?sk?
ta-Sa?sth?nam, we would have to assume that they mean by "some selfish,
reprobate and untruthful preceptors" those such as the Buddha, whose
followers ?a?kar?c?rya is depicted as defeating.

Best regards,

sir/dear list members, we thank you for your correction. actually, the
tense error in english was happened by mistake. and we are not referring to
any schools of philosophy by the word 'dharmapakhanda'. But, we referred to
those selfish people, who destroyed the Sanatanadharma.

  Kulke, Hermann. 1976. ?Kshatriyaization and Social Change: A Study in Orissa Setting.? In Aspects of Changing India: Studies in Honour of Prof. G.S. Ghurye, edited by S. Devadas Pillai, 376?85. Bombay: Popular Prakashan.

The first is entirely unknown and unavailable to me; the second I have in a reprint of the Jagannath volume but this reprint is quite bad for this article and will not allow me to make a scan that I can furnish to students. I am hoping someone else already has a good scan.

I believe there was a thread less than a year ago where various concepts such as Sanskritization came under discussion. I have a vague recollection that some useful references were supplied but I cannot now trace that thread. Can anybody help?

Thank you very much.

Message-ID: <CADVOX35yVcERVBpR3AB=WCcL+kQv8TVNqALQmKEBbEOFiyr8WQ@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I am currently looking into the Sanskrit meter known as the *krau?capad?*.
According to the metrical treatises, the stanza contains four 25-syllable
p?das with a *yati *(|) following the 5th, 10th, and 18th syllable, which
divide the p?da into balanced 16-mora half-lines and 8-mora quarter-lines:

? v v ? ? | ? v v ? ? | v v v v v v v v | v v v v v v ?.

Outside of the metrical treatises, I am only aware of one text composed in
this meter, a buddhastotra edited and translated by Prof. Dieter
Schlingloff in his 1955 *Buddhistische Stotras aus ostturkistanischen
Sanskrittexten * (Berlin: Akademie-Verlag). He appropriately dubbed the
hymn "Preis der Bekehrungen Buddhas".

In the buddhastotra, the incidence of word-  and compound boundary after
the 14th and 22nd syllable is relatively high (100% and 70%, respectively),
suggesting that there might have been caesurae or caesural tendencies (,)
in those positions, roughly

? v v ? ? | ? v v ? ? | v v v v , v v v v | v v v v , v v ?.

The high incidence of boundaries there could in theory be due to chance,
i.e. a kind of side-effect of the *yataya? *plus other characteristics of
the lexicon and grammar.

I have several questions for the list-members. Does anyone know of

(1) further texts composed in *krau?capad?*?

(2) meters in which there are caesurae ? positions in the p?da where the
poets require or prefer to locate a word- or compound boundary ? that the
metrical treatises do not recognize as *yataya?*?

(3) a detailed study of the distribution of word- vs. compound boundaries
at caesurae in stylistically comparable poetry, e.g. that of M?t?ce?a or
A?vagho?a?

I would be grateful for any pointers or references, as I find myself in
relatively unfamiliar territory.

Best wishes,

Dieter Gunkel

> (1) further texts composed in *krau?capad?*?

The Krau?capad? is not to be found at least among the 128 metres  
listed in H.D. Velankar's paper "The Prosodical Practice of Sanskrit  
Poets" (in: The Journal of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic  
Society, vol. 24/25, 1948/49, pp. 49-92) in which the author has  
"attempted to analyse and ascertain the actual metrical practice of  
some 28 Mah?kavis [...] in Sanskrit literature from the ancient and  
medieval periods" (p. 49), including A?vagho?a (Buddhacarita and  
Saundarananda).

[According to Velankar's assessment, "out of the 600 Var?a V?tta Sama  
Catu?pad?s [described in ten old treatises on Sanskrit metres] only  
about a hundred were in actual use of the poets. Out of this hundred  
again, only about 25 were employed with frequency, while the rest were  
used only for a change and ornamentation" (p. 51).]


> (2) meters in which there are caesurae ? positions in the p?da where  
> the poets require or prefer to locate a word- or compound boundary ?  
> that the metrical treatises do not recognize as *yataya?*?

In certain variant forms (vipul?) of the Anu??ubh metre ("?loka") a  
caesura is required (e.g. after the fifth syllable in an uneven  
quarter of the following structure: x - v - - | - - x) which is not  
prescribed or described in metrical treatises (to the best of my  
knowledge) although it is regularly observed in Sanskrit texts.

Roland Steiner

Regarding Dieter's second question, there are the "Nebencaesuren" of
?ry?-type meters, which are not (to my knowledge) described as yati by the
tradition: in certain positions (the sixth ga?a of the first line, and the
fourth ga?a of any vipul? line, as H. Jacobi discovered), there must be a
"syncopated" rhythm, which is achieved either with the shape v?v or with
v|vvvv, the word-boundary being necessary in the second case to prevent the
four light syllables from being scanned as two bimoraic feet. Correspondingly
there are "bridges" where, in order to ensure that the last and
last-but-one m?tr?s of a ga?a are scanned as a single bimoraic foot, no
word-boundary is permitted between them. You can read more in C. Mayrhofer
in IIJ 31 (1988) 17-25 and my paper on the ?ry? here

That is an important hint, but there is at least one exception. In his  
metrical treatise Chandoratn?kara, the Buddhist author Ratn?kara??nti  
(fl. between 975 and 1050) describes yati-s in certain well-defined  
cases related to the ?ry? group of metres:

p?rv?rdhe ?a??ho ja? kho v? khe tv ?dyalaghuni bhavati yati? /
?a??ha? khaparo 'ntayatis t?ryo 'py atha bhavati caramadale //  
(Chandoratn?kara 5.4)

"In the first half [of an ?ry? stanza] the sixth [foot is] either ja  
(v ? v) or kha (v v v v); in the case of kha, however, a caesura  
occurs after the first short [syllable]. A caesura [occurs] at the end  
of the sixth [foot] when the following (i.e. the seventh) [foot is]  
kha. Then in the second half [in addition to the sixth foot, the same  
applies] to the fourth [foot] as well (i.e. when the fifth foot is  
kha, a caesura occurs at the end of the fourth foot)." (ed. and  
transl. by Dimitrov p. 125, see below).

In his article "Ratn?kara??nti's Chandoratn?kara and Tath?gatad?sa's  
Chandom??ikya" (in: Indica et Tibetica. Festschrift f?r Michael Hahn.  
Ed. by Konrad Klaus and Jens-Uwe Hartmann. Wien 2007 [Wiener Studien  
zur Tibetologie und Buddhismuskunde. 66], pp. 113-138) Dragomir  
Dimitrov points to the fact that N?r?ya?a Bha??a quotes this stanza in  
his commentary on Ked?rabha??a's V?ttaratn?kara (??k? ad VR 2.2). In  
addition to this, there is an unpublished Buddhist metrical treatise,  
entitled Chandom??ikya by a certain Tath?gatad?sa, who according to  
Dimitrov (p. 124), lived "before 1205 AD [...] and cannot be dated  
later than Vidy?kara (11th or 12th cent.)". The relevant passage in  
which the distribution of yati-s in the ?ry? metre is treated is  
partly similar to Ratn?kara??nti's (for details and further references  
see the above-mentioned article by Dimitrov, esp. pp. 125-127).

Best wishes,
Roland Steiner

Subject: [INDOLOGY] A Bacchanal in Heaven (Publication Announcement)
Message-ID: <CALoZ1nUppUzV_fQjArC-XrkrCGZNTBfH1SnBMeXAbQFRgRSReA@mail.gmail.com>

Lovers of Sanskrit *K?vya* and those with a research interest in the
social, cultural and literary history of Kashmir might be interested in the
following publication:


*Bacchanal im Himmel und andere Proben aus Ma?kha*

(*A Bacchanal in Heaven and Additional Specimens from Ma?kha*)


The volume contains five Sargas (2-3, 14-15, 25) of Ma?kha?s
*?r?ka??hacarita* (c. AD 1144), re-edited in Sanskrit and accompanied
by an annotated
German translation on facing pages. Four of the five chapters have been
translated here for the first time.


Sarga 2 (?Connoisseurs, Ignoramuses, Enviers?) contains Ma?kha?s criticism
of literature and of literati with revealing remarks on plagiarism as it
seems to have been rampant in his days.


Sarga 3 (?About myself?) starts with a description of pre-Islamic Kashmir
and ?r?nagar as the poet?s home town. An autobiographical sketch follows,
pertaining to the careers and religious affiliations of his father and his
three brothers (?aiva, Vai??ava, Buddhist). In this chapter, Ma?kha also
discloses the authorial intention for his composition.


Sarga 14 (?A Bacchanal in Heaven?) depicts a drinking session of the
Immortals with a view to tuning the participants in on lovemaking. The
divine performance of the latter is masterfully portrayed in Sarga 15. Both
chapters abound in minute, sometimes frivolous, but never tasteless
details. They bear potential relevance for our knowledge of the material
and social culture of wine drinking in medieval Kashmir.


Sarga 25 (?Author Reading?), translated for the second time after
Kreyenborg?s first attempt (1930), contains, in the poet?s own words, a
description of his public reading of the *?r?ka??hacarita* to a circle of
handpicked connoisseurs and critics, present among them also Ma?kha?s
teacher Ruyyaka and his junior contemporary Kalha?a.

Dear friends and colleagues,
Would anyone have a scan of La Siddhi de Hiuan-tsang by de la Vall?e Poussin?
I'm afraid the copy of our library has disappeared. If someone has  
Lamotte's index as well, that too would be appreciated.
Best wishes,
Eli Franco

You obviously require the French original of Louis de la Vall?e Poussin?s
book, *Vij?aptim?trat?siddhi**: La Siddhi de Hiuan-tsang*. Nonetheless, it
may be useful to others here to know that an English translation of this
book is available from the translator. A Canadian nun in the Tibetan
Buddhist tradition, Ani Migme Chodron, has been translating French language
classics of Buddhism into English and providing PDFs of her translations
free upon request (animigme at gampoabbey.org). She has done this as a labor
of love, during her more than twenty years as a nun at Gampo Abbey in
Canada. She is now 91 years old.


Not only has she translated Poussin?s 2-volume translation of the
*Vij?aptim?trat?siddhi*, she has also translated other Buddhist classics
from French: ?tienne Lamotte?s 5-volume partial translation of the
*Mah?praj??p?ramit???stra*, his translation of the *Mah?y?nasa?graha*,
Walpola Rahula?s translation of the *Abhidharmasamuccaya*, Van den Broeck?s
translation of the *Am?tarasa* (*La Saveur de l?Immortel*), and Andr?
Bareau?s *Les Sectes Bouddhiques du Petit V?hicule*. Most recently she has
translated R. A. Stein?s *Vie et chants de ?Brug-pa Kun-legs le yogin (The
Life and Songs of Drugpa Kunlegs)*.


Ani Migme?s translation of ?tienne Lamotte?s 5-volume heavily annotated
translation of the first major section of N?g?rjuna?s
*Mah?praj??p?ramit???stra* *(Trait? de la Grande Vertu de Sagessse)* is
especially noteworthy. Lamotte?s designated translator, the late Sara
Boin-Webb, had translated this massive work many years ago. It was supposed
to be published by Peeters, but after all these years this has not yet
occurred even now. Sara was very frustrated by this, and did all she could
to try to make this happen. She died in 2008. While this is of little
solace to Sara, English speakers now have access to Lamotte?s great work,
thanks to the parallel labor of Ani Migme. The first volume of Ani Migme?s
translation of this book was completed in 2001.

Dear List Members,

I would like to announce the publication of the following book: 

Balcerowicz, Piotr: 
Early Asceticism in India. ?j?vikism and Jainism. 
(Routledge Advances in Jaina Studies) 
Routledge / Taylor & Francis Group, London?New York 2016.
ISBN: 9781138847132
ISBN-10: 1138847135

More info: https://www.routledge.com/products/9781138847132

--------------------------------------
ABOUT THE BOOK

?j?vikism was once ranked one of the most important religions in India between the 4th and 2nd centuries BCE, after Buddhism, ?Brahmanism? and before Jainism, but is now a forgotten Indian religion. However, Jainism has remained an integral part of the religious landscape of South Asia, despite the common beginnings shared with ?j?vikism.
By rediscovering, reconstructing, and examining the ?j?vikism doctrine, its art, origins and development, this book provides new insight into ?j?vikism, and discusses how this information enables us to better understand its impact on Jainism and its role in the development of Indian religion and philosophy. This book explains how, why and when Jainism developed its strikingly unique logic and epistemology and what historical and doctrinal factors prompted the ideas which later led to the formulation of the doctrine of multiplexity of reality (anek?nta-v?da). It also provides answers to difficult passages of Buddhist S?ma??a-phala-sutta that baffled both Buddhist commentators and modern researchers.
Offering clearer perspectives on the origins of Jainism the book will be an invaluable contribution to Jaina Studies, Asian Religion and Religious History.
