[INDOLOGY] descriptions of fortified towns in the epics

Fri Mar 18 08:57:06 UTC 2022

Dear Herman,

D. Schlingloff, Fortified Cities of Ancient India, London 2014  
(English translation of "Die altindische Stadt", Mainz 1969) is  
certainly worth trying.

With best wishes
Martin

> dealing with such descriptions that I know of and have at home is  
> J.K. de Cock, Eene oudindsiche stad volgens het epos (Groningen

> epics (Shonaleeka Kaul deals mainly with Kāvya)?
> With kind regards, Herman
