| How far has the
poetic style of the Vedas influenced the later Sanskrit literature, specially
the authors of Brahmanas, Upanishads, and even lexicons? How far do the
Dharmashastras, particularly in terms of their value concepts, manifest
borrowings from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata? Or, again, how do
Dharmashastras view the juridical concepts, like ‘nyasa’ (deposit) and
‘witness’? How, and what for, have Valmiki, Kalidasa, and other classical
poets/playwrights used astronomical symbology — like, for instance, the
phenomenon of ‘Moon-Rohini’ association, in their writings? How is Professor
H.D. Velankar’s contribution to Vedic Indology, specially Rg-Vedic
interpretations, unique in its own right? An eminent Sanskritist, Dr. Moghe
addresses these and other Indology-related questions, drawing on his highly
specialized studies of Dharmashastras, Purva-Mimamsa philosophy, the
Ramayana, the Mahabharata, literary classics and dramaturgic texts. In this
composition of 12 writings, of varying lengths, the author discovers fresh
linkages between Dharmashastras and India’s foremost epics, highlighting how
both the Mahabharata and the Ramayana’s ethical/social/legal values found
almost universal acceptance with the writers of Dharmasastras, either in
their unaltered form or with certain modifications. Among other thematic
specificities, A Peep at Indology takes a critical look at some of the
hitherto-unnoticed niceties of Banbhatta’s Harshacaritam, Kalidasa’s
Raghuvamsham and Abhijnana Shakuntalam, and other classical Sanskrit plays —
against the backdrop of Hemadri and Ranganatha’s well-known commentaries.
Invaluable to the scholars/researchers of Vedic Indology, Dharmashastra
literature, and classical Sanskrit. |
