Dear Herman,

You must have been thinking of this book:

Pp. 416-440 in: Tiziana Pontillo, Cristina Bignami, Moreno Dore and Elena Mucciarelli (eds.), The volatile world of sovereignty: The vrātya problem and kingship in South Asia. New Delhi: D. K.

Best wishes, Asko

I remember having seen announced sometime back a book on Śibi similar to, for instance, Adalbert Gail's Paraśurāma. Brahmane und Krieger (Harrassowitz). If it exists, I can't trace it. So perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me. I hope someone on the list can enlighten me (on the book or the state of my memory).
