That conclusion, which was reached for other reasons, is thus confirmed by the distribution of the modern dialects.

  • Towards a Critical Edition of Śaṅkara's 'Longer' Aitareyopaniṣadbhāṣya: a Preliminary Report Based on Two Cambridg

    Towards a Critical Edition of Śaṅkara's 'Longer' Aitareyopaniṣadbhāṣya: a Preliminary Report Based on Two Cambridg

    Hugo David Towards a Critical Edition of Śaṅkara’s ‘Longer’ Aitareyopaniṣadbhāṣya: a Preliminary Report based on two Cambridge Manuscripts Abstract: This article presents a fresh assessment of evidence for the existence of Śaṅkara’s ‘longer’ commentary on the Aitareyopaniṣad, a sub-section of the Aitar- eyāraṇyaka (AiĀ). While most printed editions of the Bhāṣya consider that it covers only three adhyāyas of the Āraṇyaka (AiĀ 2.4-6/7), a much more comprehensive work, bearing on the whole of AiĀ 2 and 3, is preserved in manuscripts. In the first part of the article, I argue that the ascription of this ‘longer’ gloss to Śaṅkara is likely to be justified, building on previous scholarship (A.B. Keith, S.K. Belvalkar) as well as on my own inspection of two manuscripts of the work, newly identified in the Cambridge University Library. Questions are also raised as to the constitution of the Upaniṣadic canon(s) and the role of commentaries in that process. The second part of the essay provides a comprehensive survey of the material (manuscript and print) available for a first critical edition of this important, though mostly neglected work by the great Vedāntin. || Research for the present study was started during my stint in Cambridge in 2013–14, for which I benefitted of the generous support of the British Royal Society (Newton International Fellow- ship), and during which I had the privilege to participate as a regular external collaborator in the Sanskrit Manuscripts Project. I thank the three editors of this volume for facilitating me access to the Cambridge collection in innumerable ways, for sharing their knowledge and expertise of Sanskrit manuscripts, and for allowing me to take part in their endeavour.

    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’.

Hari Kumar 1 & P. Chitra 2 1Reserch Scholar, Department of ECE, Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai,India 2 Professor, Department of ECE, Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, India ABSTRACT This study provides a summary of the ongoing research and the development process of the optical character recognition (OCR) systems for Devanagari text. A file may contain words in more than a language in a multilingual country like India. Multilingual Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system is required for a multilingual environment to read the multilingual documents. The objective of OCR is an automatic reading of the optically sensed document to interpret human-readable fonts into machine-readable code. Reading of Devanagari script is still a challenging task as various approaches are available for Chinese, English, and Japanese for script acknowledgement to get 100 percent accuracy. A survey has been done on Telugu OCR System. Recognition involves character segmentation into the elements of the component and recognizing them. A heuristic method has been selected as the best classifier for the current work based on the identification precisions of multiple classifiers. In this article, a heuristic approach is developed for separation, feature extraction and recognition of Devanagari script. The subsequent portion of this paper would explain the development that has been made in OCR System application for Devanagari Script reorganization and for the future work’s scope in Devanagari OCR systems.
