Re: [INDOLOGY] goṣṭhī

[Tieken, H.J.H.]

For information on how the participants of goṣṭhīs pass the time the following article may be of interest:

Cezary Galewicz and Lidia Sudyka, "If you know one thousand śloka-s, you are half a poet: on the akṣara-śloka tradition of Kerala", in: Cracow Indological Studies 7 (Jagiellonian University. Institute of Oriental Philology), Krakow 2005, pp. 295-315.

It is one of the products of a project on literary societies in Kerala. For more information you might contact the authors.

Best, Herman

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
