Such a style had spread throughout most of the Pahari region in the early 18th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries this area was divided into over 30 kingdoms, some of moderate size, but others very small. The kingdoms were established in Although much of the hill region formed strongholds for the worship of Shiva the fertile valleys of the rivers that eventually flowed into the plains – the Ravi, and the Devi, and paintings and manuscripts reflected this (e.g. cats. 12, 13), the Beas, Sutlej, and the Jumna and Ganges and their tributaries – and divided spread of Vaishnavism and, especially the worship of Krishna, induced patrons from each other by high mountains.

  • Literary Cultures in History Reconstructions from South Asia
    Literary Cultures in History Reconstructions from South Asia EDITED BY Sheldon Pollock UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESS Berkeley Los Angeles London 1 Sanskrit Literary Culture from the Inside Out Sheldon Pollock In contrast to most other literary cultures examined in this book, Sanskrit literature has a long and deep tradition of scholarship. A serious attempt at a comprehensive account appeared by the middle of the nineteenth cen- tury, and today many single- and multi-volume histories are available.1 With- out the foundation this impressive body of work provides, the historical study of Sanskrit literature would be hard indeed to undertake. At the same time, this scholarship, like all human works, has been shaped by the categories and assumptions of its times, and these seem especially vulnerable to criticism from the theoretical perspective adopted in the present volume. The difficulty of defining the object of analysis, to which the introduction to this volume has called attention, is in evidence everywhere in Sanskrit lit- erary scholarship. For many writers, “literature” embraces everything pre- served in writing, or even in speech. Narrower definitions prove to be arbi- trary stipulations or mere tautologies, and hand-me-down qualifiers such as “classical” are typically left unexplained.2 Implicitly, Sanskrit literature is usu- ally understood to be Brahmanical and, by preference, the oldest literature, the Veda, the body of orally transmitted texts of myth and ritual; post-Vedic Sanskrit literature remains for many present-day scholars merely “pretty” and “curious,” as the nineteenth-century scholar F. Max Müller put it, and 1. Weber 1852. Among the more influential texts following upon Weber are Müller 1859, Lévi 1890, Krishnamacariar 1906 (and 1937), Winternitz 1908–1922, and Keith 1923 and 1928.

  • The Argumentative Indian
    176/KALEIDOSCOPE 555 The Argumentative Indian Amartya Sen was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998 for his contribution in the field of welfare economics. He is Lamont Professor at Harvard. This text forms the opening sections of the first essay in Sen’s book of the same title published in 2005. The sub-title of the book is ‘Writings on Indian Culture, History and Identity’. Sen argues in this essay that in India there has Amartya Sen been a long tradition of questioning the truth of Born 1933 ideas through discussion and dialogue. Prolixity is not alien to us in India. We are able to talk at some length. Krishna Menon’s* record of the longest speech ever delivered at the United Nations (nine hours non-stop), established half a century ago (when Menon was leading the Indian delegation), has not been equalled by anyone from anywhere. Other peaks of loquaciousness have been scaled by other Indians. We do like to speak. This is not a new habit. The ancient Sanskrit epics, the Ramayana. and the Mahabharata, which are frequently compared with the Iliad and the Odyssey, are colossally longer than the works that the modest Homer could manage. Indeed, the Mahabharata alone is about seven times as long as the Iliad and the Odyssey put together. The Ramayana. and the Mahabharata are certainly great * Krishna Menon was India’s Defence Minister from 1957 to 1962. He led the Indian delegation to the United Nations, and on 23 January 1957 delivered an unprecedented 9-hour speech defending India’s stand on Kashmir.

  • CLASSICAL INDIAN POETRY Stuart Blackburn, Ph.D
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE CLASSICAL INDIAN POETRY Stuart Blackburn, Ph.D. (c. 100-500 CE) PART I Sankskrit Poetry Overview Sanskrit poetry composed during the early centuries of the Common Era was dominated by kavya, which is primarily a short, lyric verse devoted to love and longing but includes religious themes. Kavya is a broad category that also encompasses longer poems (sometimes called ‘epics’). In addition, the term refers to an ornate literary style and aesthetic that flourished in the period, especially during the Gupta Empire and afterward. Early texts Buddhacarita The Buddhacarita (‘Life of the Buddha’) by Asvaghosa is often recognised as the earliest of these classical Sanskrit poems. Composed approximately 100 CE as a hagiography of the historical Buddha, it is also one of the simplest of these compositions in metrical terms. Of its 28 chapters, or cantos, only the first 14 are found in extant Sanskrit versions, although complete versions do survive in Chinese and Tibetan. Although the text contains no specifically Mahayana Buddhist features, it is included within the Mahayana canon because it was preserved by Mahayana sects. Sattasai Another early but little-known collection is the Sattasai (‘Seven Hundred’) by Hala (c. 100 CE). These 700 single-verse, secular poems were composed in Prakrit (a regional variant of Sanskrit), probably in the Deccan. The poet Halla was a king of the Satavahana dynasty, though little is known of his life. Kalidasa Works The most influential classical poet was Kalidasa (5th c. CE), who was patronised by Gupta kings. Kalidasa was prolific. He wrote two long poems (Kumarasambhava, ‘Birth of the War God Kumara’ and Raghuvamsa, ‘Dynasty of Raghu’), two shorter ones (Megaduta, ‘The Cloud Messenger’ and Rtusamhara, ‘Garland of the Seasons’), a still- performed play (Shakuntala) and several other works that do not survive.

  • Political and Cultural History of the Pallavas of Kanchipuram
    Political and cultural history of the Pallavas of Kanchipuram Sources for the History of the Pallavas The sources for the history of the Pallavas may be classified as native and foreign sources. The native sources may further be classified as literary and archaeological sources. The literary sources for the study of Pallavas include both Tamil and Sanskrit literature. They provide a lot of information about the Pallavas. Tamil Literature The Tamil literature consisted of the songs composed by Azhalvars and Nayanmars. They had lived during the Paliava period. The compositions of Azhalvars are known as Nalayira Divya Prabhandam. The songs of Nayanmars are compiled into Panniru Thirumurais. These works describe the social and religious life of the people during the Pallava rule. The Periyapuranam written by Sekizhar is also another important literary source for this period. Sanskrit Literature The Sanskrit works Avani Sundari Katha written by Dandin and Loga Vibagam written by Sarva Nandi provide a lot of information about the importance of Simhavishnu and his rule, The famous Pallava monarch Mahendravarman I he wrote the Mathavilasa Prakasanam in Sanskrit language. It provides information regarding the social and religious condition during the Pallava period. Archaeological Sources Copper plates, inscriptions, monuments and coins remain the important archaeological sources: for the study of the Pallavas. The Allahabad Pillar Inscription of Samudragupta mentions about the Pallava king Vishnu Gopa. The Aihole Inscription of the Chalukyan king, Pulakesin II gives details about the Pallava Chalukya conflict. The Kenthoor Stone Carving of Keethivarman also belonged to the Pallava period Apart from these popular inscriptions; there exist hundreds of Pallava inscriptions throughout South India.
