[INDOLOGY] Looking for advice

[Fitzgerald, James]

Hi Ananya,

I analyzed key parts of the *Vanaparvan*'s "Story of the Brahmin and the
Butcher,” MBh 3.198–206--juxtaposing it with the *Mokṣadharmaparvan*'s
"Dialogue of the Merchant Tulādhara and the Seer Jājali" by means of the
theme "*Ahiṃsā*-*Sadācāra*"-- in a paper entitled "Why So Many ‘Other’
Voices in the ‘Brahmin’ *Mahābhārata*?" in *Primary Sources and Asian Pasts*,
edited by Peter Bisschop and Elizabeth Cecil. Berlin: de Gruyter, 2021:
21-43.

All the best, Jim
