Together with his rival Kum¯arila Bhat.t.a, founder of the Bh¯at.t.a-school of P¯urvam¯ım¯am. s¯a, he stands for the 2 "golden age" of P¯urvam¯ım¯am. s¯a , when adherents of these sub-schools seem to have had vivid philosophical, exegetical debates amongst each other and with adherents of Bud- dhist and other schools. Both, Prabh¯akara and Kum¯arlia based their commentaries on the ŚBh, which is – to our knowledge – the first and only complete commentary on the JS predating them. We know Prabh¯akara’s works only through the commentaries of Ś¯alikan¯atha. While he wrote the R. juvimal¯apañcik¯a as a gloss on Prabh¯akara’s Br.hat¯ı, he comments on Prabh¯akara’s Laghv¯ı in the DŚ.Ś¯alikan¯atha is the primary and most reliable source for an understanding of the Pr¯abh¯akara-school3, but his works have re- ceived little attention within research on P¯urvam¯ım¯am. s¯a. My presentation of the DŚ commenting on a selection of adhikaran. as, "topics", from the ninth adhy¯aya, "book", dealing with the modification of mantras is a first attempt at making this commentary of Ś¯alikan¯atha known. While it has to remain with others to work on further passages and/or the complete text, I hope to present the reader with a clear edition and translation of the selected passages. To this end I edited the text, taken from the only known existing manuscript of the DŚ. Most emphasis was put on differentiating the layers of textual material included in the DŚ. For clarity, the three most important levels are visually distinguishable: a) The "authentic" text of the DŚ in regular font; b) Quotations from Prabh¯akara’s Laghv¯ı which the former comments 1 See Part II, section 3.1 (p. 40f) for more. 2 See Verpoorten 1984: 22, Chapter III, "The golden age of M¯ım¯am. s¯a". 3 In his detailed analysis of the concept of niyoga in Prabh¯akara’s Br.hat¯ı Yoshimizu states: "Weil Prabh¯akara im wortkargen, knappen Stil ohne systematische Entfaltung seine Gedanken äußert, ist es ohne Kommentar Ś¯alikan¯athas sehr schwierig, der Br.hat¯ı die Auffassung Prabh¯akaras zu entnehmen. Es kommt nicht selten vor, dass man ohne Ś¯alikan¯atha zu Rate zu ziehen nicht feststellen kann, wo der Gegner einsetzt und wo Prabh¯akaras Erwiderung beginnt." (Yoshimizu 1997: 34.) iii Preface iv upon in bold font; c) Quotations from the ŚBh,theJS or other third sources such a P¯an. ini’s As..t¯adhy¯ay¯ı or different Śrautas¯utras in bold, underlined font. In the last cat- egory are also included citations of a certain mantra or parts of an injunction included in some sam. hit¯a, the reference to which is given in the footnotes. A further visual level distinguishes between statements belonging to the prima facie view of the opponent (p¯urvapaks.a) represented by [P], and the correct, established view of the P¯urvam¯ım¯am. s¯a (siddh¯anta, rarely r¯addh¯anta in the DŚ) represented by [S] at the beginning of a para- graph. For the same reasons of clarity and coherence the translation follows the visual presenta- tion of the edition. It is not aimed at being "pleasant reading" – such is most certainly impossible with any scholastic text of P¯urvam¯ım¯am. s¯a. The abundance of long compound phrases involving abstract nouns in the ablative or instrumental and other peculiarities of Sanskrit commentarial literature are mostly rendered by subordinate clauses. At the same time, the translation of technical terms and some other phrases is guided more by a one-to-one correspondence with the Sanskrit expression than by its fluidity, thereby grasping the full scope of it. Where possible I use only one translation coherently for one term. An example: k¯arya literally means "something that is to be done", consequently an "act" and also the "duty to act". Wicher, after initially using "Zutuendes" (what is to be done), later translates it as "Pflicht".4 She justifies this by arguing that the understanding of k¯arya out of the Vedic injunction automatically creates a reference to oneself – according to Ś¯alikan¯atha.5 This translation may be suitable in view of the theory of language developed by Ś¯alikan¯atha in the V¯aky¯artham¯atr.k¯a. But in the con- text of ritual activity, around which most of the discussion in the passages of the DŚ revolves, Ś¯alikan¯atha does not refer to the individual in his usage of k¯arya. Furthermore, the translation with "Pflicht", duty, carries a moral connotation, which is completely 6 out of place in P¯urvam¯ım¯am. s¯a. In my opinion the term denotes "what is to be done" 4 Wicher 1986: 8f. 5 "Die wörtliche Übersetzung "Zutuendes" erweist sich dann, wenn von seinem Erkennen als jeweils eigenes die Rede ist, als unbrauchbar." (Wicher 1986: 33) 6 See Clooney 1990, expecially Chapter IV and Chapter VII.4 for the role of the individual in the JS, and how Prabh¯akara remains in line with his predecessor’s view. Preface v in its most basic sense. However, such a translation often collides with the remaining syntax in English, for which reason I use k¯arya throughout. By remaining as literal as possible in the translation, I try to preserve the technical, argumentative, often allusive character of the text also in English. The edition and translation of the selected adhikaran. as is preceded by an introduc- tory section, in which the issues raised by Ś¯alikan¯atha and P¯urvam¯ım¯am. s¯a in regard to mantras and their modification are located in the scholarly discourse revolving around mantras. I consider my analysis as contributing a genuine "emic" view to the ongoing debate about the meaning and function of mantras and the characterisations of their language and role in Vedic ritual. It is usually silently assumed that mantras are subject to the least change in their religious applications. According to Patton "their power as speech acts derives from this fixity".7 Most works on Vedic mantras have thus focused on diachronic changes, not so much in their form but in their application and interpre- 8 tation. Although P¯urvam¯ım¯am. s¯a supports the view that mantras are fixed by even claiming that a change made to one produces a "non-mantra"9, the discussions in the ninth adhy¯aya, which deal with the modification of ritual details (uha¯ ) after they have 10 been transferred (atideśa) from an archetypal (prakr.ti) to an ectypal ritual (vikr.ti) , will present a different picture: • Mantras, as well as s¯amansandsam. ks¯aras ("embellishments" of ritual details), may be subject to change after they have been transferred into a new ritual set- ting.11 • Only single phrases within mantras can be subject to change, the general propo- sition of the text remains the same.12 7 Patton 2005: 60. 8 See for example Patton’s diachronic analysis of the application (viniyoga)ofmantras according to the R. gveda-Sam. hit¯a, the Śrautas¯utras, the Gr.hya-S¯utras and the vidh¯anas(Patton 2005); also the contribution by Wheelock in Alper’s Understanding Mantras (Alper 1989: 96-122). 9 See DŚ, p. 316. References to the DŚ refer to the page number in the manuscript. 10 I translate the terms prakr.ti and vikr.ti as has been most common – see Jha 1942, and Clooney 1990. A similar translation would be "model" and "derivative ritual". 11 See ŚBh at JS 9.1.1: trividhaścohah.

    SEMANTIC HISTORY OF VEDĀNTA AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE STUDY OF VEDIC LITERATURE AND INDIAN PHILOSOPHY Ashok Aklujkar University of British Columbia, Canada Briefly, the thesis of this paper is that vedānta originally (i.e. at the time of its first uses as a term referring to a certain type of texts or thinking) did not mean a physical or chronological end of the Vedas, but rather a conclusion and final teaching of the Vedas. VEDA AND VEDISM IN BUDDHIST TANTRIC LITERATURE Shrikant S. Bahulkar Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, India The Vedic tradition has exercised immense influence on the subsequent religious traditions of India. The followers of the non-Vedic religious traditions refused to acknowledge the authority of the Vedas and criticized the socio- religious system based on that authority. Among those opponents of Vedic tradition were the Buddhists who strongly reacted to the authority of the Vedas. There is mixed feeling about the Vedas and Vedism throughout the Buddhist literature, particularly in the Buddhist tantric texts. These texts used Vedic terminology, Vedic concepts, and metaphors based on those concepts, offering their own interpretation in the tantric context. The Buddhist tantric ritual consisting of mantra, homa and the six magic rites (akarmāi) bears similarity with the magic ritual in the Vedic as well as the post-Vedic tantric traditions. All this may be termed Vedism. Although influenced by Vedism, the Buddhist tantric texts vehemently oppose the Vedic tradition and attempt to establish their supremacy over the latter. The material used for the present paper is taken from the Hevajra Tantra, Samvarodaya Tantra, Cakrasamvara Tantra, Vasantatilaka Tantra, Yoginīsacāra Tantra, Nāmasagīti, Kālacakra Tantra, and the commentaries thereon.

The sheer number of people studying and teaching Sanskrit in American universities has grown dramatically. The field has also markedly changed its disciplinary location, and has gradually inched from the periphery toward the center of philology and the humanities generally, if still rather less than many of its practitioners might welcome.1 Around 1950, Sanskrit was taught at a handful of universities, among them Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Pennsylvania, the U. of California at Berkeley, and Yale, typically in departments of classics or comparative philology, or Oriental (or Near Eastern or similar) studies. Today it is taught at scores, at various levels. Graduate programs in Sanskrit, which number about a dozen, are usually housed in departments of “Asian Studies” variously defined (whether including all of Asia, or some combination of East Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia and the Middle East, or restricted to South Asia, which is now rare). It is complemented by instruction in a range of modern South Asian languages nowhere taught in America before the 1950s, above all Hindi 1 This essay represents a collaborative effort of several distinguished and generous scholars, whose knowledge and, sometimes, very formulations appear in the following pages.

  • The Recent History of Vedic Ritual in Maharashtra
    THE RECENT HISTORY OF VEDIC RITUAL IN MAHARASHTRA Frederick M. Smith Iowa City,Iowa Yedic irauta ritual continues to be performed in Maharashra, Goa, and all four srates of South India.l Information on the identity of those initiated (clîk;ita) into the practice of Érauta nttJal, ahilagnrs ('whose fires have been established') or agni- hotrins ('who perform the agnihotrin ritual') who have subsequently performed soma sacrifices in the first three-quarters of the 20th century, was brought together by C. G. Kashikar and Asko Parpola (KP) in an aÍicle entitled "Srauta Traditions in Recent Times", published in 1983 in Volume II of Frits Staal's massive Agnì.z What I intend to do here is update that a¡ticle by providing details on the current state of íraura ritual in Maha¡ashtra and Goa. It is impossible to do this, however, without refening to the contemporary arrangement of vedic Éakhas in Maharashtra and the s¡ate of the art of irauîa practice in Kamataka and Andhra Pradesh, the neighbouring states whose ritual traditions a¡e closely linked with those of Maha- rashtra. Since the late 1960s there has been a marked shift in the character of írauîa ritual in Maharashtra. Prior to that time the practice of írauta ritual had been a he- reditary avocation of a number of brahman families, lineages, and communities who had, for the most part, maintained the vedic ritual fraditions for generations, in some cases for hundreds of years.3 The tradition of performing soma sacrifices was well I am indebted to C.

  • Evidence of Hindu Religion on the Theory of Chomsky's
    International Journal of Language and Linguistics Vol. 2, No. 5; November 2015 Evidence of Hindu Religion on the Theory of Chomsky’s Transformational Grammar*1 Koot van Wyk Visiting Professor Department of Liberal Education, Kyungpook National University Sangju Campus, South Korea Conjoint lecturer of Avondale College Australia Abstract The purpose of this paper is to broaden the links to Noam Chomsky, the American linguist in order to show that he is not only a product of his own professors or immediate surroundings, nor from links he willingly made to the 17th-19th century scientists and philosophers but also further back to the Hindu mathematician linguist Panini. Individual studies were made in the past to each of these aspects separately but this paper brings concepts together to form a network of similarity of ideas that stands ultimately in contrast to another reality of understanding, that is, two sets of networks. Panini was a Hindu linguist and the Colonial upsurge in Sanskrit studies brought Westerners in contact with this grammarian. What became clear from this paper is that past history and ideas have a pop-up role to play when scientists are at loss what to do or say in their description of science. The scientist is not working purely empirical but his/her epistemology is subconsciously or unconsciously molded by “proof text” statements of great minds in the past that aligned with the lifestyle choice of the scientist. Chomsky pulled together in his linguistic description statements from scientists that support his own idea. Understanding Hindu religion better, enabled one to see lines of correspondence with the theory and axioms of Leonard Bloomfield and further, also with that of Noam Chomsky in his design of the Transformational Grammar.

  • Preface During the Last Few Years of Frits Staal's Life (November 3, 1930
    Preface During the last few years of Frits Staal’s life (November 3, 1930 - February 19, 2012), we were in frequent email exchange and we also met, at several occasions, in the USA and last in Kerala in 2011. Several such exchanges were related to an article about his book Nambudiri Veda Recitation (NVR) that he proposed for EJVS, as well as about his planned book1 “May these Bricks be Cows for me. Infinity, the History of Science and Truth.“ He offered it to Harvard University Press as he thought that the Harvard Oriental Series has a somewhat different aim. As for the current paper he wrote to me on 6/18/10: “I would like to put my essay on NVR and the Gonda series on my website” [www.fritsstaalberkeley.com, 2010]2 This has not occurred then as far as I know. -- In 2010 he was also seriously thinking of a reprint or new edition of this NVR book of which he had obtained a pristine copy. He sent me an early version of the current article on 6/28/2010, including the highly important section on the high udātta pitch, in “a new draft,” and on 7/25/2010 “the latest incarnation,” for EJVS. We delayed the publication then as he was occupied with his forthcoming book, and the upcoming Agnicayana at Paññal in 2011; he passed away less than a year later. However, as none of his posthumous works have been published so far I fulfill his wish here. 1 His proposed outline is attached here: Part I: Infinity 1.

  • Indian Intellectual Traditions, the Alaņ K Ā Ra- and Nyā Yaśāstras, As They Relate to a Brief Passage from Jagannā Tha Paňđitarā Ja’S Rasaga Ģ G Ā Dhara
    6 I NDIAN I NTELLECTUAL T RADITIONS: T HEIR S ELF -PERCEPTION AND I NTERACTION Patrick Olivelle Manu and Gautama A Study in Śāstric Intertextuality Early explorations of the issue of intertextuality in the M ā nava Dharmaśāstra ( Manu, M ) centered on the hypothesis first articulated by Max Müller in a letter to one Mr. Morley on July 29, 1849 that the extant śāstra was a versified version of a lost M ā nava Dharmasū tra. 1 This hypothesis was given strong support by George Bühler (1886: xviiif.) in the introduction to his renowned translation of Manu , although it has been abandoned by and large in recent scholarship and vigorously refuted by Kane (1962-1975: I, 143-149).2 The focus on this is- sue, however, has obscured the very real textual connection between Manu and one of the extant Dharmasū tras, the Gautama Dharmasū tra ( Gautama, G ). It is this śāstric intertextual- ity that is the subject of this paper. It studies the textual and thematic dependence of the M ā nava Dharmaśāstra on the Gautama Dharmasū tra amounting in several instances to the versification of the s ū tras of Gautama. This analysis also throws some light on the process of composition undertaken by the author of Manu. The textual parallels between Gautama and Manu are so close and so numerous that it is safe to conclude that the author of Manu used Gautama as one of his primary sources; the fre- quency of these parallels makes it unlikely that the authors of both texts were drawing from a common source.
