Re: [INDOLOGY] help with meter

This should probably not be analysed in terms of classical syllabo-quantitative metres, but in terms of Vedic metre, where the patterns are more loosely defined. See Arnold's Vedic metre on trimeter and combinations of triṣṭubh and jagatī lines within a verse.Arnold, Edward Vernon. 1905. Vedic Metr

Re: [INDOLOGY] help with a word

Wouldn't emendation to kṛṣāṇu (=kṛśānu) make sense? Depending on the script, I guess ṇḍa and ṇu could be very easy to confuse. On Thu, 25 Apr 2024 at 19:47, Raffaele Torella via INDOLOGY < indology@list.indology.info> wrote: > Dear Colleagues, > > in the course of my critical edition (in progress

Re: [INDOLOGY] Sāvarṇi gotra, Sāvarṇa gotra, and Śaiva dīkṣā name

This probably does not help Palaniappan, but it may be interesting for Ganesan: the sāvarṇi gotra is also mentioned in the Lohaner plates of Pulakeśin II. Edition: Khare, Ganesh Hari. 1947. ‘Lohaner Plates of Chalukya Pulikesin II: Saka 552’. Epigraphia Indica 27: 37–41. With best wishes, Daniel O

[INDOLOGY] Kites

Dear Colleagues, can anyone recommend (and perhaps share) any useful literature about kites in India? I mean the ones with a bamboo frame that you fly on a string, not the ones with feathers that fly themselves and eat rats. I'm mainly interested in general overviews, about the history of Indian ki

Re: [INDOLOGY] Aśoka, Ashoka, Ahsoka

As for the Sanskrit in the lyrics of "The Duel of the Fates", it's probably there, but very well hidden. "Mangled" doesn't begin to describe it... I looked into this years ago, and here's some of what I've found. Allegedly, the lyrics are based on a Welsh poem called Cad Goddeu, rendered into Engli

Re: [INDOLOGY] Revision of ISO 15919 (transliteration of Indic scripts)

I can no longer resist chiming in; apologies for rambling and for stating what may be obvious. The IAST scheme is indeed much more widely used, but I am not at all sure if future standards should be based on precedent and if counting the number of existing publications using one standard or another

Re: [INDOLOGY] caesura (yati)

Dear Christian, in addition to Sheldon Pollock's superb and detailed discussion mentioned by others, I might (without due humility) mention my own *The Abominable Yati* https://www.academia.edu/61983071/The_Abominable_Yati on certain anomalous caesurae. All the best, Dan On Mon, 5 Dec 2022 at 19:0

Re: [INDOLOGY] Indic rendering

Dear Jan, I am not sure this is what you are after, but I am aware of the following problems. I am not sure the Devanagari renderings I see on my screen will be duplicated in this email, but I try to give illustrations. All of these are on a Windows platform. 1. Some fonts that compose ligatures wi

Dear Tyler, heartfelt congratulations, having the recitation sound files there is fantastic, and I really appreciate the work that must have gone into this. Indirectly, I am grateful to the people who did the recitations and granted permission for their use. One extension that I would be happy to s

[INDOLOGY] Presentation about the encoding of Indological texts in project DHARMA

Dear All, with apologies for the self-promotion, I would like to call your attention to an upcoming talk by Arlo Griffiths and myself. In the London Digital Classicist seminar series we will be talking about how the DHARMA project is seeking to b
