Valpey The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series Series Editors Andrew Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK Priscilla N. Cohn Pennsylvania State University Villanova, PA, USA Associate Editor Clair Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. Tis series will explore the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifcally, the Series will: • provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals • publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars; • produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in character or have multidisciplinary relevance.

  • Voyage Into Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's the Forest Of
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 9s, (2020), pp. 7031-7035 Voyage into Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Forest of Enchantments 1Krishna Chatur Sow Mondal, 2Dr. S. Lavanya 1Ph.D. Research Scholar, Department of English, K L (Deemed to be University), Andhra Pradesh, India. 2Associate Professor & Head, Department of English, K L (Deemed to be University), Andhra Pradesh, India. [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The Forest of Enchantments by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is based on India’s most cherished lovelorn epic Ramayana. This novel depicts Ram’s banishment of fourteen years and Sita’s life thereafter from her perspective. It also presents Sita’s deep-seated desires--her love for Nature. She was indeed the daughter of Nature who could feel their anguish as well as amusement. The forced banishment indeed had its ups and downs which even Ram and Sita could not escape. This paper deals with Sita’s life, forest life. It also engages with the other characters in the periphery. But the chief interest lies in the fact that how Sita, staying within the society, highlights the loopholes of our society- how women, through the course of their life, are subjected to racial discrimination in their own house, their society, and, most importantly, how men try to control their lives. Sita’s voice further speaks about the art of balancing the public and the private life which is very essential for the entire human race to follow. How Sita understands and analyses the different facets of love also provide a lesson for life to the entire human race is analyzed in this paper.

  • Hermeneutics and Narrative Architecture in the Mahābhārata
    HERMENEUTICS AND NARRATIVE ARCHITECTURE IN THE MAHĀBHĀRATA Vishwa Adluri I. Introduction Appearing in the Pauṣyaparvan, the first narrative book of the Mahābhārata (Mbh), the story of Uttaṅka is baroque even by the Mbh’s standards. In this paper, I demonstrate that Uttaṅka is not just a character within the text, but operates at three distinct levels in the text: as a character in it, as its interpreter, and as someone who transcends the text altogether.1 Uttaṅka reappears toward the epic’s end in the Āśvamedhikaparvan as a character within the narrative, but what are we to make of his strange story in the Pauṣyaparvan? Appearing in this no-man’s land2 between the frame-narrative and the core epic, between 1 Uttaṅka is referred to in the Mbh in the following passages: 1. The Pauṣyaparvan describes the greatness of Uttaṅka (māhātmyam uttaṅkasyopavarṇitam; Mbh 1.2.72). 2. Veda has three students: the two kṣatriyas Janamejaya and Pauṣya, and Uttaṅka (Mbh 1.3.85-86). 3. The story of Uttaṅka appears in the Pauṣyaparvan from Mbh 1.3.86-1.3.195. 4. A reference to Takṣaka’s insult of Uttaṅka (uttaṅkasya vidhatsva; 1.46.25), although the story of Uttaṅka is not told here. 5. Janamejaya says to please Uttaṅka (uttaṅkasya priyaṁ; Mbh 1.46.41), he will avenge his father. 6. Story of Uttaṅka from Mbh 3.192.8-193.27. Story of Dhundhumāra, where Uttaṅka plays a decisive role (Mbh 3.194.1-195.39). 7. Second Uttaṅka narrative (Mbh 14.52.1-14.57.56). 2 Vyāsa, the epic’s composer, is also known as Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana, Kṛṣṇa of the island, as he was born on an island in the middle of a river.

  • Few Dramatic Suktas of Rigveda Samhita © 2017 IJSR Received: 24-05-2017 Bimalesh Bera Accepted: 25-06-2017
    International Journal of Sanskrit Research 2017; 3(4): 146-148 ISSN: 2394-7519 IJSR 2017; 3(4): 146-148 Few dramatic suktas of rigveda samhita © 2017 IJSR www.anantaajournal.com Received: 24-05-2017 Bimalesh Bera Accepted: 25-06-2017 Bimalesh Bera Introduction Department of Sanskrit, The Vedas are of two types- Mantra and Brahamana.Samhita is called the sum total of Shibpur Dinobundhoo Mantras.There are four Samhits- Rik, Saman, Jajus, Atharvan.The Pandits have admitted institution (College), unanimously that Rik Smhita is the oldest among them. This Samhita is poetic and there are Howrah, West Bengal, India 1028 Suktas in it.Sukta means good quotation i.e. beautiful attractive quotations. Of course in terminological sense it is to be understood as a poem. The poems are of different tastes. Rigveda is so attractive for the varieties of its taste. We can get different historical data. Though the Suktas of Rigveda are to a get extent religious, some secular remarkable suktas are also available here. To be precise, in all those suktas god-related thoughts are not the main subjects. For example- Dialogue hymns, Danastuti etc.Yaskacharya said in ‘Nirukta’- “एवमुावैरिभायै ऋषीणां म् यो भव’I1 In other words, Mantra is always present. The Rishis are the seer of Mantras, they are not the lords. In some Mantras, there is only praise. There is no prayer or desire. For example- “इ न वीयािण वोचम्”I2 Again in some Mantras there is only prayer or desire. There is no glorification. For example-“सुचा अीां भूयासं सुवचा मुखेन सुुत् ” 3 कणाां भूयासम् I There is oath in some Mantras, curse in some Mantrs, abuse in some Mantras, praise in some Mantras.
