Subject: [INDOLOGY] कृष्णाष्टमी

क एष भगवद्गीतोपदेशक इति श्रुतः।

श्यामवर्णः कृष्णनामा गोकुले वर्द्धितः सुखम्॥

वेदेष्वयं प्राक्तनेषु महितो नहि कुत्रचित्।

एकाष्टका नाम तिथिः किन्तु तत्रास्ति वर्णिता॥

सांप्रतं श्रूयते लोके कृष्णजन्माष्टमीति सा।

तां तु गोवत्ससम्बद्धां मेनिरे वैदिका जनाः॥

वत्सानां नवजातानां हिताय च सुखाय च।

एकाष्टम्यां यज्ञविधिं चक्रुस्ते प्रतिवत्सरं॥

तस्मात् कृष्णमहं मन्ये गोवत्सं देवतात्मकम्।

नामधेयं तस्य पितुरासीद् आनकदुन्दुभिः॥

निदाघे मनुजा भूमौ दुन्दुभिं वादयन्ति चेत्।

उच्चैर् गर्जन् मेघरूपो वर्षत्यानकदुन्दुभिः॥

इत्येवमुच्यते तस्माद् कृष्णो वै मेघपुत्रकः।

कृष्णाष्टमी तु वर्षर्तोस्तदासीत् प्रथमाष्टमी॥

पितुः कृष्णस्य तन्नाम नामलिङ्गानुशासने।

सम्यग् उल्लिखितं किन्तु व्याख्यातं न तु केनचित्॥

एकाष्टकामधिकृत्य कृतिरस्ति मया कृता।

बुधा अध्येतुमर्हन्ति नूतनां तां कृतिं मम॥

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Tübingen Purāṇa Project

Dear list members,

Can someone tell me a little about the " Tübingen Purāṇa Project"

in particular what Purāṇas they made texts of.

1) I see that its associated with the SARIT version of the Brahma-purāṇa which has in its header information:

principal><persName>Peter Schreiner</persName> and <persName>Renate Söhnen</persName>,
            <orgName>Tübingen Purāṇa Project</orgName></principal>

2) The GRETIL narasiṃha-purāṇa has written in its header:

Input by Peter Schreiner
(revised version, 25.2.2014)
CONTRIBUTOR'S NOTE:
This transliteration of the Narasiṃhapurāṇa was begun while the Tübingen Purāṇa Project was still operative. I dedicate it gratefully to Heinrich von Stietencron, who let it happen.

Thanks,

Harry Spier
