Re: [INDOLOGY] goṣṭhī

[Martin Straube]

Dear Ken,

for gosthi in the sense of a "society which promted cultural interests" (kavyagosthi, jalpagosthi etc.) see S. Lienhard, Classical Poetry (Hist. of Indian Lit. III.1), p. 16 ff. (check also the index), and A. Ollett, Language of the Snakes (open access: www.luminosoa.org), p. 60 f., 118 f., et infra.

I found

Bose, Jitendra Lal: Notes on club life in ancient India, in: Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society, 3, 1917, S. 406-415,

in SARDS, but I do not know that article.

With best wishes
Martin
