As the former has a predilection for laws and rules, so the latter appears to dislike what is unruly and lawless. Having undergone a similarly severe training in discipline, the two of them seem to be made for each other. The scholar, used to formulating order, may sometimes try to find it where it cannot be found. He may be tempted to cry eureka even when he is all at sea. The poet, too, is used to formulating, but to formulating a different kind of truth. He too is all at sea, but he knows it. And knowingly he tries to establish an instant of order in the middle of that incorrigibly creative chaos which is the source of his inspiration.

  • DR.RUPNATHJI( DR.RUPAK NATH ) Sir William Jones (1746-1794) Came to India As a Judge of the Supreme Court at Calcutta
    Quotes Basics Science History Social Other Search h o m e s a n s k r i t c o n t e n t s Sanskrit was considered as "Dev Bhasha", " Devavani "or the language of the Gods by ancient Indians. The word sanskrita, meaning "refined" or "purified," is the antonym of prakrita, meaning "natural," or "vulgar." It is made up of the primordial sounds, and is developed systematically to include the natural progressions of sounds as created in the human mouth. Jawaharlal Nehru has said that Sanskrit is a language amazingly rich, efflorescent, full of luxuriant growth of all kinds, and yet precise and strictly keeping within the framework of grammar which Panini laid down two thousand years ago. It spread out, added to its richness, became fuller and more ornate, but always it stuck to its original roots. The ancient Indians attached a great deal of importance to sound, and hence their writing, poetry or prose, had a rhythmic and musical quality. Our modern languages of India are children of Sanskrit, and to it owe most of their vocabulary and their forms of expressions. The Sanskrit grammarians wished to construct a perfect language, which would belong to no one and thus belong to all, which would not develop but remain an ideal instrument of communication and culture for all peoples and all time. SANSKRIT - The Language of Ancient India. Sanskrit (meaning "cultured or refined"), the classical language of Hinduism, is the oldest and the most systematic language in the world. The vastness and the versatility, and power of expression can be appreciated by the fact that this language has 65 words to describe various forms of earth, 67 words for water, and over 250 words to describe rainfall.

  • Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology
    M.A in Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology KALINGA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Deemed to be University under section 3 of UGC act 1956 Department/Course Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology (THTI) Course Details 1 M.A in Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology Department of Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology (THTI) Introduction: Heritage is a fundamental source of individual and group identity, vitality, and solidarity. Heritage is a universal process by which humans maintain connections with our pasts, assert our similarities with and differences from one another, and tell our children and other young people what we think is important and deserves to be part of the future. Traditional languages were disappearing, and ancestral forms of conflict resolution within communities were disintegrating. Also, during this time, the federal government became aware of the difficulty tribal communities were having in retaining cohesion. Tribal governments as well as the federal government began investigating ways to halt degradation of traditional cultures. India has been a subject of intense interest to a wide variety of peoples from all corners of the ancient and the modern world throughout the millennia. There are many reasons for this intense and sustained interest, not least among them being the considerable prowess of the ancient Indic in matters of scholarship, relating to the exact sciences. The Indian university system of the ancient era was world renowned and attracted student from a wide variety of countries. Tribal Indology is to the academic study of the history, languages, and cultures of the tribal in Indian subcontinent. Strictly speaking it encompasses the study of the languages, scripts of all of Asia that was influenced by Indic culture.

AN INTRODUCTION TO CLASSICAL SANSKRIT AN INTRODUCTORY TREATISE OF THE HISTORY OF CLASSICAL SANSKRIT LITERATURE BY GAURINATH BHATTACHARYYA, SHASTRI, m.a.. Premchand Roychand Student, Lecturer in Sanskrit at the Presidency College and at the University of Calcutta. MODERN BOOK AGENCY 10. College Square, Calcutta. 1943 Published by U. C. Bhattacharyya, 10, College Square, Calcutta. Printed by A. N. Mukh( M. I. Press, BO, Grey Street, Oalcu To the sacred memory of my parents. PREFACE The impetus to the writing of the x>resent work came from my students at the Presidency College, Calcutta, The paucity of suitable text-books on the subject intended for Degree and Post- Graduate students of Indian Universities was felt by myself in my college life, and in writing this book I have always borne in mind the difficulties which , our students feel in tackling the subject. The work, therefore, does not pretend to be very ambitious. In the preparation of the book I have freely consulted the two monumental works of M. Winternitz and A. B. Keith. To them, therefore, I am under a deep debt of gratitude. I must also acknowledge my indebtedness to all those authorities whose works have been mentioned in the “References’". In preparing the press copy, my pupil, Professor Sarojendra- nath Bhanja, Sahityasastri, Kavya-Puranatirtha, M.A., has rendered invaluable service. Another pupil of mine, Mr. Taraknath Ghosal, M.A., has prepared the major part of the Index.

It was understood that Srikanth Kaul’s editions should serve as the basis for the translation of both works. A time-consum- ing preparation of two new critical editions was out of the question.

T. COLEBROOKE, ESQ. N. the early: progress of researches ,into Indian I literature, It was doubted, whether the VMIl8 were extant; or, if portions of them were still pre­ '.erved, whether any person, however learned in other respects, might be capable of understanding' their obsolete dialect. It was believed too, that, if a Brahmana really possessed tbe Indian scrip­ tures, his religious prejudices would nevertheless prevent his imparting the holy knowledge to any, but a regenerate Hindu. .These notions, supported by popular tales, were .cherished long after the VMas had been communicated to DA'RA' SHUCOH ; ~nd parts of them translated into the Persian lan­ guage, by him, or for his use·. The doubts were not finally abandoned, until Colonel POLlER ob­ tained from Jeyepur a transcript of what purported to be a complet~ copy of the liMas, and which he deposited in the British Museum.

Abstract Listen how the wise one begins construction of a house for Viṣṇu by Elisabeth Eva Raddock Doctor of Philosophy in South and Southeast Asian Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Robert P. Goldman, Chair This dissertation consists of a translation of the first fourteen chapters of Hayaśirṣa Pañcarātra and a detailed analysis aiming at its contextualization in historical, cultural, and theological milieus. The Hayaśirṣa Pañcarātra is a Sanskrit text from approximately the ninth century A.D. primarily dealing with rituals concerning the construction of a temple to the god Viṣṇu. The text is probably from Eastern India, most likely Bengal or Orissa. The Hayaśirṣa Pañcarātra belongs to the Pāñcarātra tradition, a Viṣṇu centered movement within what we today call Hinduism. The Hayaśirṣa Pañcarātra has incorporated older texts, most of which are no longer extant, and has also been a source- text for later works, most notably the Agni Purāṇa and the Hari Bhakta Vilāsa.
