FROM TEMPLE SCHOOLS to UNIVERSITIES Little Is Known CHAPTER TEN FROM TEMPLE SCHOOLS TO UNIVERSITIES Little is known about educational developments in brahmanical society during the earlier part of the first millennium A.D.; the old system of the iiciirya-kula probably continued, and the grant of so-called agrahara-s to brahmin communities, first mentioned in the Mahabharata, 1 created an economic basis for Vedic instruction. agrahara at first denoted the grant of a village ( or the revenue from it) to feed brahmins, 2 whether for ritual duties, temple worship or instruction we do not know - but a combination of these is probable. The term has been more popular in Southern India: a typical South Indian agrahiira nowadays is a cluster of narrow lanes with narrow row houses that may each stretch quite a way back, with a temple at the end of the lane, in the center of a village or town. It was governed by a sabhii,3 and entry was often forbidden to non-brahmins. In Northern India, brahma-deya (also brahma-diiya)4 denoted tax-free land given to brahmins, first in the Kauµiliya Artha­ sastra,5 and such land given to temples is mentioned in inscriptions from 1 Mahabharata III 65,3; 222,43: XV 2,2. Such grants are frequently found in inscriptions, e.g., B.V.Krishna Rao, El 3 I (I 955/56), pp. 1-10 (third century A.D.); King Harsa (seventh century A.D.) granted a village as agrahara to two brahmins: G.Biihler, EI 4 (1896/97), pp.208-2 I I. 2 S.Gurumurthy, Education in South India, Madras I 979, pp.25-45. His etymology (agrahara from agra + ahara as "foremost district" on p.26) must be rejected, as it violates sandhi rules; is it perhaps "first take" after a conquest or a forest clearance? A common name for these large villages was also caturvedi-mangalam: K. V .Subrahmanya Aiyer, Historical Sketches of Ancient Dekhan, Madras 1917, repr. Coimbatore 1969, vol.III pp.149-157. 3 Proceedings of such sabha-s are recorded in Tamil inscriptions from Tamilnad and Karnataka: E.Hultzsch, SII2/l (1891 ), p.74 (cf. V.Venkayya, ibid., p. [19)); ARE 1898, p.18 (no. 77 of 1898) and V.Venkayya, Archaeological Survey ofIndia, Annual Report 1904/05, pp. 131-145; A.K.Nilakanta Sastri, Studies in Cola History and Administration, Madras 1932, pp.74-78, 85-95, I 12-116, 163, etc.; EC.9 (1905), Channapatna Taluq nos. 127-132, text pp.197-200, trans. pp.159-161. 4 K.V.Subrahmanya Aiyer, El 30 (I 953/54), p.103 (brahmadeya); V.V.Mirashi and LR.Kulkarni, El 23 ( 1935/36), p.17 (brahmadaya). 5 KA II I, 7; 20,20. FROM TEMPLE SCHOOLS TO UNIVERSITIES 167 the eighth century on. 6 Asoka and his son and successor Dasaratha donated caves to the Ajivikas 7 as a residence during the rainy season, 8 and about two hundred years later a high official under the Satavahana king ~i:ia donated a cave to the Buddhists.9 In a further development, the Satavahana king Gautamiputra Satakari:ii in A.D.124 donated two hundred nivartana-s of land for the sustenance of the ascetics living on a nearby mountain (i.e., in caves), 10 later replacing it with another hundred nivartana-s of better quality, 11 and in A.D.149 Vasi~thiputra Pu~umavi gave a village to the Buddhist community ofthe Bhadraya¢yas living in the Queen's Cave. 12 It is not known if any service was expected in return from these monks. The grant by the King Satakari:ii Harifiputra 13 of a brahmin settlement at Belgame (Shimoga District, Kama~ka)14 started a development by which Belgame with five ma_tha-s, three pura-s, and seven brahma­ puri-s (i.e., agrahiira-s) 15 became an important educational center.

Afready in A.·o. 105 an inscription refers to a Yajurveda master of the Katha branch, one Somayasas from Saketa (Uttar Pradesh) who settled in Belgame/Belgaum and conducted as many as eighty Vedic sacrifices: S.Sankaranarayan El 39 (1972), pp.183-188. 15 EC7 (1902) Sk 119 (textp.163, trans. p.91)and 123 (textp.169, trans. p.94); the five matha-s and the three pura-s are mentioned frequently. e.g., Sk.99, 100, 123. .

    Gupta Empire and Their Rulers – History Notes Posted On April 28, 2020 By Cgpsc.Info Home » CGPSC Notes » History Notes » Gupta Empire and Their Rulers Gupta Empire and Their Rulers – The Gupta period marks the important phase in the history of ancient India. The long and e¸cient rule of the Guptas made a huge impact on the political, social and cultural sphere. Though the Gupta dynasty was not widespread as the Maurya Empire, but it was successful in creating an empire that is signiÛcant in the history of India. The Gupta period is also known as the “classical age” or “golden age” because of progress in literature and culture. After the downfall of Kushans, Guptas emerged and kept North India politically united for more than a century. Early Rulers of Gupta dynasty (Gupta Empire) :- Srigupta – I (270 – 300 C.E.): He was the Ûrst ruler of Magadha (modern Bihar) who established Gupta dynasty (Gupta Empire) with Pataliputra as its capital. Ghatotkacha Gupta (300 – 319 C.E): Both were not sovereign, they were subordinates of Kushana Rulers Chandragupta I (319 C.E. to 335 C.E.): Laid the foundation of Gupta rule in India. He assumed the title “Maharajadhiraja”. He issued gold coins for the Ûrst time. One of the important events in his period was his marriage with a Lichchavi (Kshatriyas) Princess. The marriage alliance with Kshatriyas gave social prestige to the Guptas who were Vaishyas. He started the Gupta Era in 319-320C.E. Chandragupta I was able to establish his authority over Magadha, Prayaga,and Saketa. Calendars in India 58 B.C.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Goods that Cannot Be Stolen: Mercantile Faith in Kumāralāta’s Garland of Examples Adorned by Poetic Fancy A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Diego Loukota Sanclemente 2019 © Copyright by Diego Loukota Sanclemente 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Goods that Cannot Be Stolen: Mercantile Faith in Kumāralāta’s Garland of Examples Adorned by Poetic Fancy by Diego Loukota Sanclemente Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Gregory Schopen, Co-chair Professor Stephanie J. Watkins, Co-chair This dissertation examines the affinity between the urban mercantile classes of ancient India and contemporary Buddhist faith through an examination of the narrative collection Kalpanāmaṇḍitikā Dṛṣṭāntapaṅkti (“Garland of Examples,” henceforth Kumāralāta’s Garland) by the 3rd Century CE Gandhāran monk Kumāralāta. The collection features realistic narratives that portray the religious sensibility of those social classes. I contend that as Kumāralāta’s 3rd Century was one of crisis for cities and for trade in the Indian world, his work reflects an urgent statement of the core values of ii Buddhist urban businesspeople. Kumāralāta’s stories emphasize both religious piety and the pursuit of wealth, a concern for social respectability, a strong work ethic, and an emphasis on rational decision-making. These values inform Kumāralāta’s religious vision of poverty and wealth. His vision of religious giving conjugates economic behavior and religious doctrine, and the outcome is a model that confers religious legitimation to the pursuit of wealth but also an economic outlet for religious fervor and a solid financial basis for the monastic establishment, depicted by Kumāralāta in close interdependence with the laity and, most importantly, within the same social class.

PANDEY DEDICATED WITH PROFOUND RESPECT AND ADMIRATION TO THE MEMORY OF GENERAL SIR ALEXANDER CUNNINGHAM, C.S.T. 1814 1893 FATHER OF INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY Colonel A. Cunningham, whale he was the Chief Engi- neer of the North-Western Provinces, laid betore Lord Canning in November 1861, a memorandum praying for a complete and systematic archaeological investigation of the ancient historic ruins of Upper India. This led to his appointment as the first Archaeological Surveyor to the Government of India. As director of the Archaeological Survey (1870 1885) he brought to light the immense importance of the archaeological ruins of more than fifty ancient cities including KauSambi in the United Provin- ces. (A.S.R. Vol. I). PREFACE A few of my articles on the early history of KauSambi were published in papers and journals from time to time, and a paper on a controversial point of its history in the second century B.C. was read at the SIXTH ORIENTAL CONFERENCE, held at Baroda. All these formed the nucleus of the present monograph. In it I have endeavoured to present an account of the ancient greatness of KauSambi, now reduced to a ruined fortress. The facts have been arranged to give the story a con- tinuous form, which, however, has been broken on account of the paucity of materials available on the subject. The materials for these pages have been drawn mainly from primary sources Sanskrit and Pali literature. The references in the ancient texts have been used after careful sifting in the light of epigraphic, archaeological and numismatic evi- dences.

  • Full Story of Ramayana in English Pdf
    Full story of ramayana in english pdf Continue Rama with Lakshmana, killing Ravana Ramayana (pronounced roughly as Raa-Maye-a-na), resembles an Odyssey, while Mahabharata is somewhat reminiscent of the Iliad. Composed around the same time as Mahabharata, Ramayana is written in 24,000 pairs. In fact, it is a story of love and exile. The symbolism of history has been interpreted in several ways, but is widely seen as a story of good overcoming evil, with dharma or duty. (Source: BBC) Valmiki or Sanskrit Ramayana contains about 50,000 lines of verse. It's much longer than both iliad and Odyssey. The narrative is divided into seven books. There are numerous translations of Ramayan available in English. One popular but extremely condensed version based on the Tamil language of Kamban is the R.K. Narayan version (Penguin Books); in India, just as popular version, also in prose, but longer, K. Rajagopalachari (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan). Another easily available abbreviated version in William Buck's poems. The most scientific and complete English translation of Ramayana is a multivolume version of Robert Goldman, Sheldon Pollock and others, published by Princeton websites and Hindu resources: Hinduism today hinduismtoday.com; The Heart of Hinduism (Krishna Movement) iskconeducationalservices.org; India Divine indiadivine.org; Religious tolerance of the Hindu page religioustolerance.org/hinduism; Hindu index uni- giessen.de/~gk1415/hinduism; Wikipedia article Wikipedia ; Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies ochs.org.uk; Hindu-web-hinduwebsite.com/hinduindex;

  • Hanumad Gita by Devi Sita to Hanuman One Special Day, Shortly
    Hanumad Gita Page 1 of 6 Hanumad Gita By Devi Sita to Hanuman One special day, shortly after the return of Sri SitaRama, the Royal Assembly was packed with honourable people. Different walks of life had come from far and wide across Bharati (India) to witness the transformation of Prince Rama to King Rama- the coronation ceremony. Sugriva, Angada, Vibhisana, Laksmana, Bharata, Satrughna, and a host of valiant guest kings entered the large solar auditorium filled with people, and highly embellished since the coronation of the Emperor and Empress. Speaking with love and respect reflecting through their eyes, faces, words, and gestures, everyone took their seats in the assembly. With brilliant flashes of gems and polished weapons, shining silks, aesthetic music, sparkling faces, and jovial moods, the assembly radiated a superlative lightness which uplifted the spirit immediately upon entrance, and an effervescence that infused delight. An amazing perfume wafted throughout the shining gemmed corridors and halls, galleys and balconies, and amongst the floors and stages. At last the Royal Sages arrived and the entire assembly rose to greet them in honour. Accepting their seats on the stage, those resplendent Sages headed by Vasistha looked like suns, moons and stars floating on earth. Then, to the musical sound of clarinets, conches and drums, the Emperor and Empress entered and ascended the stage. Offering their respects to the Sages they took their seats under the Solar Arc, majestically, like a lion and lioness. From their golden throne Emperor Rama and Empress Sita greeted the assembled dignitaries, who hailed them with great affection.
