dear list-members,

as unicode devanagari is apparently not readable in all browsers : here a transcribed version of the verses (with correction in pāda 1b) :

(1)

yasyāhisāpratiṣṭhāsti  tyajyate tasya sanidhau /

vairas  tathā ca loke’smin  heya dukham anāgatam //

 

(2-3)

kiānatulyapavitram atra labhyate?

vidyā ca dṛṣṭivicāritā prabhāvatī /

nānāvidhāgamadṛṣṭiṣu pratiṣṭhite

prajñā vivekavatī bhavaty asambhramā //

Subject: New publication, this time ...
To: "indology@list.indology.info" <indology@list.indology.info>

New publication, this time in the form of a website: www.memepeace.org 

The underlying ideas I summarize in three verses (with obvious intertextual references):

(1)
यस्याहिंसाप्रतिष्ठास्ति  त्यजते तस्य संनिधौ ।
वैरस्  तथा च लोकेऽस्मिन्  हेयं दुःखमनागतम् ॥

(2-3)
किं ज्ञानतुल्यपवित्रमत्र लभ्यते ? ।
विद्या च दृष्टिविचारिता प्रभावती ॥
नानाविधागमदृष्टिषु प्रतिष्ठिते ।
प्रज्ञा विवेकवती भवत्यसंभ्रमा ॥

(1) and (2-3) are also the summary of two recently published articles, respectively of: 

“Des conflits armés à la compétition dans la création de paix et de progrès : un projet de gestion mémétique”

After Paris 13.11.15 : conflits, exodes, attentats; notes et analyses de chercheurs du monde entier, par Collectif sous la direction de Pierre Musso. Paris : Editions Manucius, 2016. pp. 110-113.

Best, Jan Houben
