The time at our disposal was very short and we had to work against odds. It is a pleasure to see our efforts being crowned with success. I must express my thanks for this to our Assistant Director in charge of publications and the two Research Assistants without whose co-operation it would not have been possible to bring out these volumes in time. However I must crave the indulgence of all the scholars who took in that Conference for this belated part publication of the proceedings. (R.K. SHARM A) CONTENTS Pages 1 1.

Sanskrit has been a great factor of unification for world languages and through them of the cultures represented by them. First of all, it has unified their attention upon a common cultural object the Sanskrit literature and culture with its vast domain over time and space far beyond the confines even of subcontinental India. Second, it has enriched their literature and culture with a common treasure of cultural contacts, assimilations and widening of human horizons towards a broader world-wide community of mutual appreciation between cultures. Third, it has been of decisive influence in the creation of a truly scienti- fic comparative philology which has made each language more thoroughly conscious of its own genetic and systematic structure and idiosyncratic genius, as well as of its own cultural-linguistic kinship with Sanskrit and with one another on a formerly unsuspected inter-continental scale. In return, the Sanskrit lore has immensely benefited by the combi- ned achievements of those languages and cultures especially in the fields of scientific philology, history, general as well as literary, and in the preservation and grasp of its traditional heirlooms through scholarly exegesis and text-criticism (honed to perfection on the Latin and Greek sister-literatures). Above all, and in response to the barrier- breaking interest in Sanskrit on the part of the world languages, there began to arise in the world of traditional Sanskrit lore a new sense of the perspective and broadmindedness that was ready to break through isolating shackles of stubbornly tradition-bound parochialism and chauvinism, and to see in those sister languages and cultures something to appreciate and Compare and also to learn from, even if with a sober and discriminating selection based on a fearless, "satyam eva jayate". This was the road towards that mutually enriching cross-fertilization. To bring that cross-fertilization to full fruition for the benefit of both partners I should like to put before you some thoughts that my long contact with Indian Sankrit scholarship has suggested to me as an appropriate means to that so desirable goal. there is a which Uppermost in my mind many-sided problem in on the occasion of this international my opinion deserves precedence on the future conference, because it has a very preponderant bearing of lore in and of all branches of Sanskrit and vedic general my own field in I refer to the of rgvedic text-criticism moie particular: problem of Western scholarship as confronting traditional Indian literature and I said is indeed. learning. And this problem, as above, many-sided First is still too left of of all is the fact that, by and large, there much that ht chaos magnum", that great chasm between the two trends of Western or modern scholarship and Indian traditional learning. Yes, there is still an immense reservoir and current of traditional undisturbed the stream of especially vedic, lore completely by modern scientific historico-philological outlook and dynamism. And it is this that causes my deep concern. The reason is that I sadly feel that tremendous potentialities for scholarly progress go waste and abegging for lack of proper direction and training. It should be our ambition and pride that every genuine pandit is on the one hand an expert in his special branch of knowledge but at the same time a modernminded scholar who can critically assess the value of his own traditional texts and knowledge and thus lead them either forward, into new developments of thought and truth, or backward in the direction of their original text-critical forms. Let us not allow our vedic (or Sanskrit) pandits to become mere mummified museum-pieces, or merely mechanical tape-recorders- for then, I fear, the nation's progress will pass them by (and they are too valuable for that) but let us enable them to incorporate themselves actively and dynamically into the cultural-educational forward-march of India by integrating their lore into the modern methods of search for knowledge and truth. I would decidedly advocate that they continue to foster their enviable fluency in spoken Sanskrit and specialized proficiency in particular sastras; but I equally strongly advocate that from now on it should be considered as a sine qua non of qualification modern panditry the ability to feel quite at ease with English, at least as a library language. A true modern pandit in India cannot do without at least that much English^ in order to have direct and untramelled access to the rich literature on Sanskrit (especially in its vedic stage) which exists. in that language which should be held as India's own international language. It is also a providential golden bridge to the languages and cultures of the other fellow-members of India's own Indo-European linguistic cultural family of peoples.

  • Portrayal of Family Ties in Ancient Sanskrit Plays: a Study
    Volume II, Issue VIII, December 2014 - ISSN 2321-7065 Portrayal of Family Ties in Ancient Sanskrit Plays: A Study Dr. C. S. Srinivas Assistant Professor of English Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology Hyderabad India Abstract The journey of the Indian dramatic art begins with classical Sanskrit drama. The works of the ancient dramatists Bhasa, Kalidasa, Bhavabhuti and others are the products of a vigorous creative energy as well as sustained technical excellence. Ancient Sanskrit dramatists addressed several issues in their plays relating to individual, family and society. All of them shared a common interest— familial and social stability for the collective good. Thus, family and society became their most favoured sites for weaving plots for their plays. Ancient Sanskrit dramatists with their constructive idealism always portrayed harmonious filial relationships in their plays by persistently picking stories from the two great epics Ramayana and Mahabharata and puranas. The paper examines a few well-known ancient Sanskrit plays and focuses on ancient Indian family life and also those essential human values which were thought necessary and instrumental in fostering harmonious filial relationships. Keywords: Family, Filial, Harmonious, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Sanskrit drama. _______________________________________________________________________ http://www.ijellh.com 224 Volume II, Issue VIII, December 2014 - ISSN 2321-7065 The ideals of fatherhood and motherhood are cherished in Indian society since the dawn of human civilization. In Indian culture, the terms ‘father’ and ‘mother’ do not have a limited sense. ‘Father’ does not only mean the ‘male parent’ or the man who is the cause of one’s birth. In a broader sense, ‘father’ means any ‘elderly venerable man’.

  • Lesson 81. Sanskrit Proverbs लोकोक्तयः
    Lesson 81. Sanskrit Proverbs लोकोक्तयः Lokoktaya-s are different from the Nyaya-s in that a whole sentence is used to convey an idea and not just a couple of words. These proverbs are picked from subhashitas, poems, dramas..... the field is completely open. If the proverb is understood in the correct context, they can be used very artistically. For example, if your kid is giving you a tough time about taking Sanskrit lessons and you'd like him to begin, throw in the first proverb after your lecture for good measure! Some of these proverbs are explained in Hindi also. Also don't be surprised if two proverbs teach two completely opposite ideas. English does that too- Too many cooks spoil the broth vs. Many hands make light work! 1. अगच्छन व् नै तये ोऽपि िदमके ं न गच्छपत । A non-flying eagle does not move forward a single step. 2. अङ्कमा셁ह्य सप्तु ं पि ित्वा पकं नाम िौ셁षम ् । गोद म े सोय े ए को मारना िी क्या शरू ता ि ै ? Can killing one who is asleep on someone's lap constitute bravery? 3. अङ्गारः शतधौतने मपलनत्व ं न मञ्चु पत । कोयला सकै ड़ⴂ बार धोन े िर भी सफे द निĂ िोता । Coal does not loose its dirt (does not become white) even it were to be washed a hundred times.

Centre Government Arts College, Bangalore, Karnataka, India Abstract The Valmiki-Ramayana is a splendid creation of the sublime thoughts of Valmiki, the seer poet; it serves as a source of eternal inspiration, salutary ideas and moral behaviour for millions of people all over the world. It transcends the limitations of time, place and circumstances and presents an universal appeal to people speaking different languages, dwelling different countries and h aving different religious persuasions. The Vedas and the Puranas along with two great epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata constitute the solid and enduring foundation of age long and magnificent edifice of Indian culture and civilization.

Sir, * I have the honour to submit the following report of the tours I made through Central India and Rajputana in the beginning of 1905 and that of 1906 in accordance with the Resolutions of Government, Nos. 2321 and 660 in the Educational Department, dated the 14th December 1904 and 12th April 1905, respectively. 2. A copy of the first resolution reached me during the Christ- mas holidays of 1904^ but it was February before I could be relieved of my duties at College. So I started on my tour in February soon after I was relieved. 3. The place I was most anxious to visit first for several reasons was Jaisalmer. It lies in the midst of a sandy desert, ninety miles from the nearest railway station, a journey usually done on camel back. Dr. Biihler, who had visited the place in January 1874, had remarked about ^* the tedious journey and the not less tedious stay in this country of sand, bad water, and guinea-worms,'' and the Resident of the Western Rajputana States, too, whom I had seen in January 1904, had spoken to me of the very tedious and troublesome nature of the journey.

  • Role of Subhashitas in Creating a Model Society
    JASC: Journal of Applied Science and Computations ISSN NO: 1076-5131 ROLE OF SUBHASHITAS IN CREATING A MODEL SOCIETY V. RAGHAVENDRAN Dr. NIDHI RASTOGI Research Scholar Associate Professor OPJS University, Rajasthan. OPJS University, Rajasthan. Abstract Objective Subhashitas are simple short epigrammatic poetic verses which convey treasured messages through interesting examples. Our rich Sanskrit heritage has subhashitas relevant to all arenas of life. In our traditional Indian education system Subhashitas are mainly taught to the children at very early age, especially choosing the ones related to righteousness, truthfulness, knowledge, education, service, friendship, courage and patriotism. These subhashitas quote elegant practical examples in them. They guide the children in distinguishing between the good and the bad, help them in deciding “what to do” and “what not to do” by projecting the virtues of the good and showcasing the ill effects of the bad. When the children grow up memorizing and listening to these subhashitas, they imbibe the morale values which the subhashita portrays and become good citizen of our nation. “Today‟s children are tomorrow‟s citizen”, it is our citizen who create a model society, and they do it based on their personality, education, thinking abilities and the values inherent in them. The main object of this research is to demonstrate that subhashitas act as one of the key ingredients in creating a model society. Design / Methodology/ Approach- Methodology followed in this research is Qualitative analysis and this work is conceptualized based on various reference materials which are collections of subhashitas, websites which has subhashitas on multiple subjects and research paper related to this subject.
