From tylerwwilliams at gmail.com Tue Dec 1 14:51:43 2020 From: tylerwwilliams at gmail.com (Tyler Williams) Date: Tue, 01 Dec 20 06:51:43 -0800 Subject: [INDOLOGY] Translations In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear Patrick, The poet Visnudas at Gwalior composed a condensed version of the *Mah?bh?rata *(called the *P???ava-Carita*) in 1435 and a *R?m?yana* in 1442, both in an early form of Hindi. Both find mention in R.S. McGregor's *Hindi Literature from Its Beginnings to the Nineteenth Century* (Harrasowitz, 1984) and Imre Bangha and Heidi Pauwels have written in greater detail on them (I can find the references if you would like). In my experience, many of the 'commentaries' (be they titled ??k?, bh??ya, or something else) composed in early Hindi and Old Gujarati on Sansakrit works actually correspond to what we would usually call 'iconic' translation, per C.S. Pierce. On that issue, if it's of interest, see John Cort, "Making it Vernacular in Agra," in Orsini and Butler-Schofield, *Tellings and Texts *(Open Book, 2015) and my "Commentary as Translation," in *Text and Tradition in Early Modern North India* (Oxford, 2018), though they both deal with works on the latter edge of your chronological range.

The conference encompasses a wide disciplinary field but Indology and philology more generally are always well-represented at the conference. The deadline to submit an abstract is *December 10th 2020, 5pm CST.* The detailed CFP as well as the submission link can be found *HERE . *Details below. Best regards, Tyler Williams University of Chicago *Between Comparison and Context:* *Global and Local Movements in South Asia* *Call for papers: *The organizing committee of the Eighteenth South Asia Graduate Students Conference (SAGSC-XVIII) is pleased to announce the 2021 conference: *Between Comparison and Context: Global and Local Movements in South Asia*. *The conference will take place on 4th, 5th, and 6th March 2021*. We invite graduate students from all disciplines of study, and at any stage of their graduate career to apply for this conference. Social movements have historically been the trigger for mobilization, action, and transformation in all parts of the world, including South Asia. The aim of this conference is to expand the study of movements in South Asia, while simultaneously interrogating South Asia as a field of study. Keeping in view recent instances of mobilization, along with examples from the long history of the sub-continent, we invite papers that study the emergence, forms of organization, methods, politics and impact of social movements in South Asia. In particular, we are interested in papers that engage with the methodological question of the context-specificity of these movements along with the ways in which they compare with other movements across the world. We welcome papers from diverse disciplinary and methodological approaches based on the broadest interpretation of the concept and practice of movements? contemporary as well as historical. In their research, South Asianists often wonder whether knowledge about the region needs to be produced within a comparative schema, or if it can be generated within the specific context of the local alone. When analyzing movements across temporal and spatial planes, this methodological debate is tremendously productive whether across, or within, disciplines. For instance, should scholars of modern human rights movements work with the universalist assumptions of the concept or embrace a South Asia-specific understanding? Or, how does a scholar of the Bhakti movement use Western liberal terms of ?reform? to understand the religious movement in that context? Does movement mean the same thing across modern and early modern South Asia? How does studying Dalit movements in India, alongside racial justice movements in the US (and their transnational dialogue), improve our understanding of both? Traditionally, South Asia has been a fertile ground for the study of a variety of social movements, such as worker, agrarian, linguistic, anti-imperial, religious, (anti)caste, Adivasi and women?s movements lending itself to a variety of comparative and interpretative approaches. We invite graduate students who work on various mobilizations, mass transformations, social trends, and socio-cultural movements in South Asia to contemplate upon their specific research cases with an eye towards the interaction between the global and the local. Where do we locate specific cases in South Asia within a larger network of movements? How have local movements been inspired by other, larger networks? Are movements in South Asia only derivative of global moments and can only be understood comparatively, or are there context specificities that mark their singularities? Paper proposals can address the following prompts but are definitely not restricted to them. - Intellectual movements and their cultural forms (art, literature, film, etc.) - Social reform movements (religion, caste, gender, peasant) - Political movements (human rights, women?s rights, pro-democracy) - Regional and linguistic movements in South Asia - Migrations and movements - Postcolonial progressive movements - South Asian conservatism and global right populism - Elite movements and legal mobilization - Mass movements and social media - Labor and peasant movements - Civil rights movements - Contending definitions of justice and rights within movements - Movements for legal and constitutional reforms - Middle-class mobilizations - Neo-religious or neo-spiritual movements in South Asia (and the diaspora) - Environment and resource-preservation movements - Revolutionary and armed movements - Cultures of protests We invite graduate students (MA, MPhil, PhD) from a wide range of departments including Anthropology, Archaeology, Art History, Comparative Literature, Film Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, History, Law, Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, Sociology, South Asian Studies. *Please submit abstracts here for individual papers of no more than 250 words by 5 pm CST on 10th December, 2020*. Only one abstract per person is allowed. Panel proposals will not be considered. We will notify applicants of a decision by early January 2021. Given the current circumstances and travel restrictions in place, there is a high likelihood that this year?s conference will be held online. In such a situation, we hope to accommodate participation from various parts of the world by conducting the virtual proceedings approximately between 8.30 am to 1pm CST (GMT-6) on all three days. If you have any questions, please write to us at sagsc2021 at gmail.com. *Organizing Committee: *Krithika Ashok (Law School), Sanjukta Poddar (SALC), Supurna Dasgupta (SALC) *Faculty Advisor*: Prof. Muzaffar Alam (SALC and History) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Does this have a different meaning than his use of the abbreviation "L." I was under the impression that the abbreviation "L." also meant that the meaning was only found in the lexicons. For example one of the definitions for s?ra?ga in Monier-williams is: (only L. , ?an elephant; lion; cloud; tree; umbrella; parasol; garment; clothes; hair; lotus; flower; conch-shell; sort of musical instrument; ornament; jewel; gold; a bow; sandal; camphor; the earth; light; night?) The corresponding entry in Bohtlink-Roth lists the lexicons. Thanks, Harry Spier -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: As far as I know, pervasion can be expressed more or less three ways in Sanskrit: 1. Iteration (*?mre?ana*): v?k?a? v?k?a? si?cati 2. Avyay?bh?va compound: with the particles *prati, pari *and *anu *when compounded as the first members, as in *pratyartham, pratyekam, pratidinam, anudinam *etc. 3. The secondary suffix (taddhita) *?as: *This suffix is used with numerals and words in the singular number. Such as eka?a? (one by one), pa?ca?a? (five by five), var?a?a? (to each Var?a). The words with the suffix ?as behave like adverbs. The P??inian s?tra for karmapravacan?yas *prati, pari *and* anu* (*lak?a?etthambh?t?khy?nabh?gav?ps?su pratiparyanava? 1.4.90*) also says that these adnominals can be used in these senses, one of which is v?ps? (pervasion): 1. Lak?a?a (characteristic mark in direction): *v?k?a? prati vidyotate vidyut *(lightning flashes towards the tree). In this sense, *prati* can make avyay?bh?va compounds as well. *pratyagni ?alabh?? patanti* (the moths are falling towards fire) [*lak?a?en?bhiprat? ?bhimukhye 2.1.14*] 2. itthambh?t?khy?na there(description of one who is like that): s?dhur devadatto m?tara? prati (Devadatta is good to his mother) 3. bh?ga (share): *yad m?? prati sy?d* (which should be to me [my share]) 4. *v?ps? (pervasion)*: *v?k?a? v?k?a? prati si?cati* (s/he waters every tree). In this sense, there can be avyay?bh?va compound: *pratidinam* = every day I looked into the commentaries and found that Jay?ditya says these meanings are expressed through the context *(vi?ayabh?ta) *and the function of these adnominals (karmapravacan?ya) is to establish a relation. This example, *v?k?a? v?k?a? prati si?cati* was given by Jay?ditya in the K??ik?. Jinendrabuddhi says that the pervasion (v?ps?) is already expressed by iteration (*?mre?ana* or *dvirukti*), the adnominal (*karmapravacan?ya*) *prati *is to express the relationship between the action (watering) and the trees. But then it goes against the fundamental definition of adnominals (connected to nominals) and behaves like an upasarga (preverb) [upasarg?? kriy?yoge]. But then the commentators leave it as a special case saying that although it is connected to the action we won't call it an upasarga because upasargas would involve other kinds of changes. Had it been the upasarga it would have been *v?k?a? v?k?a? prati?i?cati. *The non-retroflexion of the sibilant here allows us to consider it a karmapravacan?ya and not an *upasarga*. I think that P??ini made things a bit complicated here stating all these 4 meanings of the adnominal *prati, pari *and* anu. *All these we can translate with the English preposition 'towards' or 'to'. But I think when P??ini thought of a directional use, he thought of physical objects. In the case of the example, *s?dhur devadatto m?taram prati *(Devadatta is good to his mother) we cannot perceive a physical direction. So, he postulated these meanings and later commentators had trouble in explaining those. So, I would translate *v?k?a? v?k?a? si?cati *as "s/he waters every tree" and* v?k?a? v?k?a? prati si?cati *as "s/he waters towards every tree" (if this makes sense at all). I am wondering if there are secondary materials available on these issues. I checked Joshi and Roodbergen's and Rama Nath Sharma's translations of the A???dhy?y?. There I did not find anything more than what Sanskrit commentators said. But it would be great to find some new researches on this issue.

This is what Indologists are accustomed to. Thus, your vigyan would be written as vij??na. As you noted in your query of Nov. 13, the meaning of vij??na in Buddhist texts somewhat differs from its meaning in Hindu texts. In both cases, the meaning of vij??na comes out in juxtaposition with j??na. An article on this by Franklin Edgerton was published in 1933, "J??na and vij??na," drawing on Hindu texts.

We invite proposals for papers on any aspect of South Asia?s rich Sanskrit religious and intellectual culture. Proposals of no more 300 words should be submitted by *28th February 2021*. They should be sent to the organising committee: *stimw at ochs.org.uk .* Sanskrit Traditions in the Modern World (STIMW) is a forum for the discussion of the Sanskrit traditions of South Asia, and the texts and cultures that have arisen out of them. Older archives and information for past STIMW events at the University of Manchester can be found here: https://www.alc.manchester.ac.uk/religions-and-theology/connect/events/stimw/ *Papers and Format *- Papers are presented by leading scholars in the field as well as by research students. Papers are pre-circulated so that participants can read them before the seminar to ensure the best possible use of discussion time. Papers are therefore not read out at the seminar itself but instead briefly introduced by the chair who will then raise questions to the paper-giver, before opening the discussion. Papers should be no longer than 20 A4 pages, including notes and references. To facilitate discussion for those short of reading time, paper-givers should provide a one-page abstract of the key argument of the paper, along with their paper.

I now realise that some of these at least are the abbreviations used in the critical apparatus of the Buddha Jayanti Tripi?aka edition of the Pali canon published in Sinhala script. These are explained as follows at the beginning of each volume: * s? = t?lapa??a-potthaka? (which I take to indicate a reading found in some manuscripts in Sinhala script) * s?mu = s?halakkhara-muddita-potthaka? (indicating a reading found in some printed editions in Sinhala script) * sy? = sy?makkhara-muddita-potthaka? (indicating a reading found in some printed editions in Siamese script) * machasa? = maramma-cha??hasa?g?ti-pi?aka-potthaka? (indicating the reading found in the Burmese 6th Council edition) kesuci presumably indicates a reading found 'in some' manuscripts/editions bahusu presumably indicates a reading found 'in many/most' manuscripts/editions I am not immediately sure of the others.

Prof. Cardona's email address is public on his university web page. That is the best way to contact him. The correct internet protocol for finding someone's contact details is to write to a common third party, which could be this forum, asking for one's contact request to to be forwarded to the party in question. So, I might write to Prof. Cardona saying, "Mr Jain would be grateful if you would contact him. Mr Jain's email is XXX at yyy".

My own tool "skrutable" I made so as to be able to do large tasks programmatically. For example, I just now had it analyze the meter of the R?m?ya?a, and it gives a full plain-text report, marking various meters and anu??ubh vipul?s and so on, in about 20 minutes (about 15 verses per second). I've tried, but I haven't yet been able to do such things with other tools. If anyone has such experience, please let me know, I'd love to compare. There are still a few edge-cases I need to address, and user-friendliness also needs a good bit of work. For example, the point-and-click interface is hard to get working on new machines. I plan on making a holiday project out of it, and I'll aim to send another general update after that. If anyone's especially interested, please be in touch.

It is an anthology of primary source stories, each followed with a brief essay describing the historical and social context. I designed it as a teaching resource, but it also highlights cutting-edge research since none of these sources were previously available in translation (and several had never been published in their original languages). A diverse range of sources includes a passage from the c.6th century Skanda Purana, exciting narratives and visualization guides from early-medieval Tantras, literature from Nepal and Indonesia highlighting women and their relationship with goddesses, local Puranas, songs, and stories translated from modern booklets marketed to pilgrims.

URL: From mmdesh at umich.edu Tue Dec 22 18:30:59 2020 From: mmdesh at umich.edu (Madhav Deshpande) Date: Tue, 22 Dec 20 10:30:59 -0800 Subject: [INDOLOGY] A grammatical question Message-ID: P??ini lists the root ?ru in the bh?-?di conjugation and then stipulates the rule ?ruva? ?r? ca [3.1.74] that changes ?ru > ?r? and also prescribes the substitution of the infix/vikara?a ?ap > ?nu. Thus we get forms like ?r??oti. The form outwardly looks similar to sunoti, but the root su is in the 5th conjugation. The question is why P??ini chose to list the root ?ru in the first conjugation and then go through the additional effort of prescribing the infix ?nu as an exception to the first conjugation. The commentary Tattvabodhin? on P.3.1.74 says the following: yadi ayam ?rudh?tu? sv?dau pa?hyeta tarhi cak?ro na kartavya iti l?ghavam ity ?hu?. So, the author of the Tattvabodhin? feels that P??ini should have listed the root ?ru in the 5th conjugation, and that would have been a more economical path. I would like to hear an explanation as to why P??ini may have listed this root in the first conjugation. Madhav M.

And more generally, I'll talk about the symbiosis of Sanskrit and regional languages in the south, including Tamil (where this relation is almost always distorted in the modern discourse on languages)-- also about why a particular author might choose to write in Sanskrit or in the vernacular, including cases where a single author composed in both languages. Also, the remarkable cases where a major work, such as the Telugu Vasucaritramu, was translated almost immediately into both Tamil and Sanskrit. Why did poets do this? 3 MARCH 2021 7.00 PM IST ( 2 March 7.30 AM CDT - Austin) LECTURE 7: Hinduism and the History of Dharma??stra - Prof Prof Patrick Olivelle Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair Emeritus in the Humanities, University of Texas, Austin 10 MARCH 2021 9.30 AM IST ( 9 March 8.00 PM PST) LECTURE 8: Indian Inscriptions: Prakrit, Sanskrit, and Everything Between: The Grand Paradox of Indian Epigraphy - Prof Richard Salomon William P. and Ruth Gerberding University Professor Emeritus, Department of Asian Languages & Literature, University of Washington, Seattle Abstract: Indian inscriptions from the time of Ashoka onward show curious patterns of language development which seem to contradict what we know of the history of Sanskrit and Prakrit from literary sources. Analysis of the language of the inscriptions, including the "mixed dialects," reveal that the relationship of Sanskrit and Prakrit in actual practice was far more complex than it appears from what is preserved in formal literature. 17 MARCH 2021 9.00 AM IST ( 16 MARCH 8.30 PM MST) LECTURE 9: Healing the Mind and the Body: The History of Ayurveda - Prof Dominik Wujastyk Singhmar Chair in Classical Indian Society and Polity, Department of History and Classics, University of Alberta, Canada. 24 MARCH 2021 5.00 PM IST ( 11.30 AM GMT - Oxford) LECTURE 10: The Method of ?Neti Neti? - Prof Diwakar Acharya Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics , Oriental Institute / All Souls College, Oxford 31 MARCH 2021 7.00 PM IST (7.30 AM CST - Illinois) LECTURE 11: The Artha??stra and the Statecraft Tradition - Prof Mark McClish Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Religious Studies, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 7 APRIL 2021 10.30 AM IST LECTURE 12: Panini's Ashtadhyayi from Computational Perspective - Prof Amba Kulkarni Professor & Head, Department of Sanskrit Studies, University of Hyderabad 21 APRIL 2021 7.00 PM IST (7.30 AM CDT - Austin) LECTURE 13: Epistemology in Classical India - Prof Stephen Philips Professor of Philosophy and Asian studies at the University of Texas at Austin 28 APRIL 2021 10.30 AM IST ( 27 April 7.00 PM HST - Honolulu) CONCLUDING LECTURE: Reality of the Past and the Future: In Vasubandhu, Kashmir Naiy?yika Bh?sarvaj?a and Kashmir Shaiva Abhinavagupta - Prof Arindam Chakrabarti Professor and Director, Center for South Asian Studies at the University of Hawai?i at M?noaNirmal K. and the first Augustina Mattoo Endowed Chair in Classical Indic Studies at Stony Brook, NY Abstract: The lecture examines how the words and wisdom of texts authored a thousand years back in the past can be so real now that they will be discussed even in the future. ???????????????????

I have only Vol. II; Part II on non-P??inian Schools, but I can't find the first volume/parts (although I thought I had them at some point). I have also been slightly perplexed about the publication of the K?vyak?madhenu, V/Bopadeva's auto-commentary on the Kavikalpadruma. From what I've found on archive.org and the bibliography in the Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophy (The Philosophy of the Grammarians), it seems not, but I would be happy if this weren't the case. I have found an MS on the archive.org. Many thanks and a good start to a happier new year. All the Best, Victor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
