Objet : Re: [INDOLOGY] gato 'stam arkaH

 

Dear Harald,

These quotations come from Kāvyaprakāśa of Mammaṭa (V.240).  Mammaṭa sees ten suggested meanings (vyaṅgyo ‘rthaḥ) in the sentence "gato ‘stam arkaḥ".

Regards,
Julie Rocton

Dear list members,

 

gato 'stam arkaH (“the sun is setting”) might be an indication of time (so Daṇḍin's Kāvyādarśa 2.224).

 

Elsewhere (and that is relevant for me), gato 'stam arkaH is understood to suggest

 

1. to Brahmins to perform their evening rituals or

2. to traders to close their shops. 

 

Could you, please, help me with quotations to these or similar effects.

 

Yours sincerely

Harald Wiese
