[INDOLOGY] Draupadii and polyandry

[Joydeep]

Dear Harry,

For a clarification of Witzel’s views as a textual critic, see *Philology
and Criticism*, Conclusion: Textual Criticism and Indology. The entire file
is available here: https://www.academia.edu/36999444/Philology_and_Criticism.
On the attempted stratification of the BhG (and Artur’s reference to
“earlier strata”) see “Paradigm Lost: The Application of the
Historical-Critical Method to the Bhagavadgītā,” available here:
https://www.academia.edu/30431442/Paradigm_Lost. See especially the table
on pp. 259–61.



Best,

Joydeep
