  • Idioms of Degeneracy: Assessing Ganga's Purity and Pollution
    Kelly D. Alley 12 Idioms of Degeneracy: Assessing Ganga's Purity and Pollution Introduction: Assessments and Worlclviews Scientists, government workers, and religious leaders in India hold clift'ering conceptions of the purity and pollution of the natural world. Their con1lic:ting assessments reflect a larger debate between worldviews and the divergent ways worIdviews define the sacred and the profane. Especially in discussions about the river GaiIgA (or Ganges), the sacred river that flows across northern India, we flnd marked disagreement between arguments defending the GaiIgA's sacred purity and warnings about river pollution. These arguments point to a conflict of worldviews holding difl'erent as­ sumptions about human existence. The various assessments of the river draw logical and moral or ethical legitimacy from theology, scientific discourse, and the secular policies of the state and, there­ fore, are windows into the ways Indian citizens use wider networks of knowledge. In this paper, I examine the most recent assess­ ments of the condition of this river and demonstrate how specific groups of Indian citizens and state officials use these assessments to articulate their worldview differences in public debates. Theological discourses, more than scientific and secular ones, establish various connections between moral and ecological values through sacred texts, drama, and iconography (see, for example, 298 Hargrove 1986, Spring and Spring 1974, Suzuki and Knudtson 1992). Several contemporary social scientists have attempted to find common threads in these diverse renderings of the universe, seeking the means to create a universally plausible environmental ethic.' But this goal assumes far too much. The ways that people define nature cannot be idealized solely in terms of ethical and rational notions of sustainable, equitable resource use.

    CHAPTER II CQNSPECTOUS AND BRIEF SUMMARY SECTION I It is well-known that Ups are the concluding portions of the Veda. They form a key-stone of the central arch of Indian philosophy and constitute one of the triple Bases of Hindu Religion. Ups are called Vedanta Because they form 1 the crown of all knowledge. There are different Ups Belonging to the each Veda and M there is a good deal of speculation concerning the I . number of Ups. Different estimates of their number have been given by the scholars* as they have been put by some scholars at as many 200. A popular edition usually contains 108 Ups. 2 In some of the major, minor and later Ups there occur stories which have the theme of boons and they have generally the philosophical theme. 1.

There is a very early group o£ synchronous kings. The Aiksvaku genealogy of Ayodhya states plainly that Prasenajit's son Yuvanasva married Gauri and their son was Mandhatr. The Paurava genealogy says Matinara's daughter Gaurl was mother of Mandhatr. Here there can be no doubt, for the statements are separate and explicit (chapter VI). Prasenajit therefore was contemporary with Matinara, Yuvanasva was one generation below and Mandhatr two genera- tions. Further, the Ayodhya genealogy says that Mandhatr married Sasabindu's daughter Bindumati Caitrarathi, who was the '' eldest of many brothers ; and the Yadava genealogy names Sasa- bindu, son of Citraratha, as a famous king who had very many sons.^ Here also there can be no doubt j hence Mandhatr was one generation below Sasabindu. Next Jahnu of Kanyakubja married the granddaughter of Yauvanasva,-' that is, Mandhatr; hence he was two generations below Mandhatr.* From all these we have a clear set of synchronisms thus Paurava Kanyakubja VISVAMITRA, TRISANKU, ARJUNA, RAMA 151 The next group of synchronisms is that in which Visvamitra and his nephew Jamadagni are the central figures.
