Dear Ken,

for gosthi in the sense of a "society which promted cultural interests" (kavyagosthi, jalpagosthi etc.) see S. Lienhard, Classical Poetry (Hist. of Indian Lit. III.1), p. 16 ff. (check also the index), and A. Ollett, Language of the Snakes (open access: www.luminosoa.org), p. 60 f., 118 f., et infra.

I found

Bose, Jitendra Lal: Notes on club life in ancient India, in: Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society, 3, 1917, S. 406-415,

in SARDS, but I do not know that article.

With best wishes
Martin

Betreff: [INDOLOGY] goṣṭhī

I should appreciate it if someone could direct me to any papers written on
the Sanskrit word goṣṭhī or “the gentlemen’s club” in ancient India.
Many thanks in advance.
Best,
Ken
