Based on his research, Kannada scholar L.S. Sheshagiri Rao argues that, since Pamp's earliest-accessible epic Adipuran (939 AD), Cannada's writers have created a rich and active epic tradition. Bhavyamanava S.S. Bhusanurematha (1983) is the last in this tradition. Based on the medieval literary sources of Cannada, indologist Anthony Warder claims that until 941 AD there were versions of Kannada Ramayana and Mahabharata, as well as Kaavia (or Mahakawa, epic poems), such as Karnataka Kumarasmbhava from Asaga (c. 850). According to the scholar Kannada R. Naraimhaharya, Chandraprabhapuran Sri Vijaya (the court poet of King Amogavarshi I) dates from the beginning of the 9th century. This list is by no means In addition to the epics listed here, there are numerous epics written partially (so-called Handa or Mahatmaya), starting with the rendering of the Scanda Purana Kumarapadmarasa in 1180. According to Rao, although she followed the Sanskrit tradition of Mahakawa and drew her material from Sanskrit works, even in the earliest stages of the Cannada epic was neither derivative nor imitative. She developed the traditions of Valmica and Vias with her distinctive ways and in the epics Jain and Virashaiva presented new pictures of human greatness and destiny. In the home, Cannada has produced at least two works - Pampa Bharata (c.941) and Kumaravias Bharata (c.1425) - that may be among the epics of the world.

Telangana State, India Abstract Historians earlier treated the medieval period of Andhradesa History as a great phase. It was so because, during this time, the whole country was divided into numerous regional states that were busy getting. However, recent studies have indicated that, though politically divided, India witnessed a growth of new and rich cultural activities in art, literature and language. In fact, some best specimens of temple architecture and Indian literature belong to this period. Thus, far from being emphdark, it may be treated as a bright and vibrant phase of Indian History. This research paper’s main objectives are to identify the various regional kingdoms that emerged during AD 1000 and AD 1687; examine the nature of the states; highlight the social and economic changes; evaluate the cultural activities; and more. Keywords:Social History, Cultural Identity, Princely States, Conquering Politics, State Craft Political Mobilization, Medieval Power Structure. Introduction Statement of Problem “Some have argued that as language is the medium of knowledge, that which comes in the form of language constitutes a text; since language is interpreted by the individual, the reading by the individual gives meaning to the text; therefore, each time a text is read by a different individual it acquires a fresh meaning.

  • A New Philology: from Norm-Bound Practice to Practice-Bound Norm in Kannada Intellectual History
    A New Philology: From Norm-bound Practice to Practice-bound Norm in Kannada Intellectual History Sheldon Pollock A number of regional languages in premodern South Asia possess philological traditions—whereby I refer to commentarial work as well as grammatical, metrical, rhetorical, and related disciplines—that constitute a vast, important, and scarcely examined domain. The Tamil embodiment of this tradition, thanks to the work of François Gros and scholars like him—though there are few like him—has actually been reasonably well served. For the history of Kannada philology, however, the situation is radically different. Modern scholarship written in Kannada itself is stunning; men such as R. Narasimhachar, D. L. Narasimhachar, B. M. Srikantia, M. V. Seetha Ramiah, M. Timmappaya, and M. G. Pai, and most recently T. V. Venkatachala Sastry, are the equal of any known to me from elsewhere, scholars endowed with authentic philological sensibilities, deep historical understanding, and keen critical intelligence. But almost nothing on the subject has been written outside of Kannada. Faced with what is virtually a blank slate for western readers, I aim here to present some brief reflections on several of the principal texts and persons of early Kannada philology; on what I believe was a crucial, but rarely noted conceptual revolution with great consequences for the history of consciousness and culture in South Asia, and to which that philology contributed importantly; and on the significance of all this intellectual activity for the political sphere of premodern Karnataka. I. The Kaviràjamàrga (c. 850) had already gone some way in establishing the groundwork for a systematic reflection on and disciplinary organization of literary Kannada.1 The philologization we find in the Màrga, which was to develop uninterruptedly for another four centuries or more, is not only precocious but, with respect to its relationship with other literary cultures of southern India, both autonomous and uncommon.

  • The Influence of Jainism on Early Kannada Literature Sheldon Pollock’S Work Language of Gods
    International Journal of Jaina Studies (Online) Vol. 15, No. 2 (2019) 1-24 THE INFLUENCE OF JAINISM ON EARLY KANNADA LITERATURE SHELDON POLLOCK’S WORK LANGUAGE OF GODS Hampa Nagarajaiah (Hampana) Preamble Kannada, a Dravidian language, is one of the ancient and important literary languages in India. It has a script of its own and has a population of about sixty million. It had branched off from the Proto-Dravidian Family of languages in around sixth century BC, and had become a written language by the beginning of current era. The history of Kannada language and literature is very vast, varied and encompasses a variety of genres. Regrettably, its salient features were not properly and systematically introduced outside the Kannada world. Such an objective account remained a desideratum for a long time. To address the issue some attempts were made by Ferdinand Kittel (1832-1903), E.P. Rice (1849-1936) and B.L. Rice (1837-1927). B.L. Rice (1898) was the first to edit the epic Vikramārjunavijaya of poet Pampa (901-950), and write an article in English about the epic, as early as in 1882. His brother, E.P. Rice (1921) wrote The Kanarese Literature, the earliest book in English on the Kannada Literature. He wrote in the concluding paragraphs: “I am afraid it must be confessed that Kanarese writers, highly skilful though they are in the manipulation of their language, and very pleasing to listen to in the original, have as yet contributed extremely little to the stock of the world’s knowledge and inspiration [...]. There is little of original and imperishable thought on the question of perennial interest to man [...].

  • THE WORLD of CONQUERORS the History, Literature, Religion and Culture of the Jains
    SUBJECT: THE WORLD OF CONQUERORS The history, literature, religion and culture of the Jains A thesis submitted to The Intercultural Open University Opeinde, The Netherlands By Dr Natubhai Shah For the doctoral degree In Jain Religion DEDICATION AS A MARK OF RESPECT AND DEVOTION TO AACAARYA VIJAY VALLABHSURISVARJI WHOSE VISION FOR THE JAIN COMMUNITY FOR EMPIRICAL AND SPIRITUAL EDUCATION HAS TRANSFORMED THOUSANDS OF YOUNG JAINS AS SUCCESSFUL CITIZENS OF THE WORLD 2 ABSTRACT ainism is the oldest extant religion in Eurasia but it is the least known in J the West. Although its teachings are as relevant in our own day as they were in the days of Mahavira who revived it more than two and half millennia ago, why this should be is almost certainly due to its small number of adherents in India: four millions plus (Jain leaders estimate twelve million and claim that it was much larger in earlier centuries of Common Era) out of a total population of nearly a billion. Jainism possesses a unique all-embracing precept from which all else flows: ahimsaa. Ahimsaa means ‘non-violence and reverence for all life’ a precept that forms the core of Jain theology; for Jains, both ascetic and lay, and it is the fundamental belief that governs their behaviour. This is supplemented by aparigraha (non-attachment to worldly possessions) and anenkaantavaada (multiplicity of views) This dissertation aims to analyse the role of Jain beliefs from their evolution in the mists of antiquity, through their reformulation by Mahavira, the last of the twenty four luminaries of Jainism in the sixth century BCE, and their historical influence on Jains and beyond up to our own times.

  • History of Jainism in Karnataka
    History of Jainism in Karnataka November 26, 2020 UPSC has in recent times shown a lot of interest in the subsects and art and culture of Buddhism and Jainism as can be seen in the questions on sarvastivada and sthanakvasi in the past 3 years. In this light we want to cover some important manifestations of these religions in regional centers. And Jainism and its impact on Karnataka is one such important topic that needs to be covered and the current article is an endeavour to do the same. In news: Recently Copper plate inscriptions dated to the 8th and 9th century CE have been discovered in and around Halebelagola in Chanrayapatna taluk of Hassan district. Placing it in syllabus: Indian history – Jainism Dimensions 1. Origin of Jainism 2. Patronage of Jainism by various dynasties 3. Jaina architecture in Karnataka 4. Jaina contribution to Kannada literature Content: Origin of Jainism: Jaina Dharma or sramana dharma is a small but very influential religious tradition in India. Called Nirgantha (without bonds) by ancient texts, it is one of the oldest sramana (ascetic) traditions still surviving in India. The community is most prominent in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan and also has a good presence in Delhi- Mathura, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Bundelkhand regions. The Rig Veda contains clear references to Rishabhdeva, the first Tirthankara and to Aristanemi, the twenty- second. The Yajur Veda mentions the names of three Tirthankaras: Rishabhdeva, Ajitanatha and Aristanemi. Rishabha has also been mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana. According to the tradition, it is believed that Mahavira (24th Tirthankara) visited Karnataka and initiated King Jivandhara of Hemanagada country of the Kuntala (Karnataka) region.

  • Ancient & Medieval History
    GS – HISTORY ANCIENT & MEDIEVAL HISTORY PART-1 Introduction to Prehistory The past of humankind has been divided into three broad categories viz. Prehistoric, protohistoric and historic. Prehistoric period belongs to the time before the emergence of writing and the historic period to the time following it. It has been so fare believed that Modern Humans originated in Africa and have lived on our planet for around 150,000 years. Prehistoric- the term is often used to describe the period before written history, cavemen are described as prehistoric people. Protohistoric-Protohistory refers to a period between prehistory and history, during which a culture or civilization has not yet developed writing, but other cultures have already noted its istence in their own writings. Historic- History is served well and to nicety by written records. There exist written records of some of the greatest empires in the world history. These great empires include the Mauryan, Gupta and Mughal Empires in Indian and several other empires all over the world. Most of these empires have come to be known to the posterity thanks to the recorded historical texts written during those periods. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, with Sumerian Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing, from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC. The Vedas, the great religious and literary works of The Upanishads, The Puranas, The Mahabharata, and The Ramayana all come from this period. Hence it is true that history depends on written source. It is a recorded set of events that might have happened during a particular period of time.
