Dear All,

I'm still looking for the soft copies of The Pravargya Brāhmaṇa of the Taittirīya Āraṇyaka and La rationalité en Asie / Rationality in Asia. I would be grateful if anyone has these available to share with me.

Thanks again,

Himanshu

Dear All,

I have been searching for PDF copies of the following books online, but they do not appear to be available. If anyone has PDFs of any of them, please share them with me.

1. Jan E. M. Houben, The Pravargya Brāhmaṇa of the Taittirīya Āraṇyaka: An ancient commentary on the Pravargya ritual. Introduction, translation and notes. Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 1991.

2. Bronkhorst, Johannes, La rationalité en Asie / Rationality in Asia. Études de Lettres, 2001/3.

(P.S.: I would also appreciate it if you could recommend more books or sources dealing with the theme of the origin of rationality or "Tradition of rational enquiry" in South Asia. Of course, I am aware of Bronkhorst's work. Except for a few reviews, I have not found anyone responding to Bronkhorst's thesis in How the Brahmins Won. So, I am also looking for sources that have engaged or responded to this book/its take on the origin of rationality).

Thanks and regards,

Himanshu
