________________ Dr. Bhogilal J.Sandesra M.A. Ph.D. Professor of Ardh Magadhi Jugrati, B. J. Institute of learning and reserch. Jugrat Vidya Sabha, Bhadra. Ahemdabad, Date : 7th Nov. 1950. From 28th to 30th October I was at Bikaner as a guest of Shri Agarchandji Nahata. I saw his great Manuscript library which contains about 15000 old manuscripts and also his assume of antiquities and liefure gallary. Seldom one comes across much a devoted reserch worker and a great lover of learning as Shri Nahata, ever ready to help other co-workers in the field in all possible ways.

________________ Chandra Images From Rajasthan By R. C. Agrawala Director, Archaeology & Museums, Jaipur. Some early images of Chandra ( Moon ), one of the prominent planets (grahas ), have already been published by Dr. M. R. Majmudar. These include an excellent Gupta stone head from Vidisa (M. P.) and now preserved in Gwalior Museum; the male head therein is provided with a typical Gupta crown and a halfmoon (ardhachandra) mark behind; the portion below the neck is missing. Earlier representations of moon are of course not reported so far. Standing Chandra from Paharpur (Bengal) holds a beaded rosary in the right hand, a nectar-pot (Kundika) in the left, as also enjoined by the Agni Purana. The utter absence of any vehicle in the Paharpur Chandra image is very important (Fig. 1); he is provided with the matted locks (jata) on the head while the prominent half-moon (ardha Chandra) mark appears just above the head. This led some scholars to interpret the Paharpur relief as Chandra Sekhara Sivamurti but the mistake was duly corrected by Majmudar4 and Saraswati.5 Dr. Majmudar has also published a mediaeval (12-13th century) marble relief from Vaanagar,6 depicting Chandra and Surya standing side by side. The latter, appearing to right, carries two lotus-stalks in his hands whereas Chandra (to left) holds a water-pot in the stretched left hand, the right hand having been raised up to carry the beaded rosary; the crescent mark behind his head suggests identification with Chandra, the Moon-god, The Vishnudharmottara Puranarefers to four-armed Chandra, seated on a chariot driven by 10 horses, a form which is depicted in a rather very late statue in Nagpur Museum.8 Contemporary or mediaeval icons referring to this aspect of Chandra have of course not been reported so far. A few independent carvings 1. M. R. Majmudar, Annals of Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona, XXIII, 1942, pp. 262-70 and plates. 2. Ibid, plate V. 3. Ibid, plate II. 4. Ibid, pp. 267-70. 5. S. K. Saraswati, Journal of the Deptt. of Letters, Calcutta, pp. 66-7. 6. M. R. Majmudar, op. cit., plate IV. It is situated in North Gujarat. 7. Book III, edited by Dr, P. B. Shah in G. O. Series, Baroda. Vols. I (1958-text and II (1961-notes). Chapter 68, verse 5. 8. M. R. Majmudar, op. cit., plate VI. 44 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

________________ from Rajasthan are, therefore, worth scrutiny in this paper. On some mediaeval reliefs also we find various representations of Chandra with its Vahana marked on the pedestal. A detailed study of such mediaeval reliefs, by Mrs. Debala Mitra,1 has revealed the following vehicles of Chandra. (1) Fish; because of Chandra's association with water. According to the Vishnu Purana (Book II, Chapter, Verse 3), the horses of Chandra sprang from the bosom of water, as rightly pointed out by Debala Mitra." (2) Horse; Mitra, op. cit., plate XII, fig. 12, p. 22. (3) Animal, probably lion (?), ibid, plate XVI, fig. 19, p. 23. (4) Ram (mesha), ibid, p. 20, plate IX, fig. 9. (5) Crocodile (makara), ibid, plate XII, fig. 15, p. 22, as also on the Navagraha slab from Gorakhpur and now in Lucknow Museum. vehicle for Varuna, the lord of waters. The crocodile is also the The Vishudharmottara Purana (I, p. 191, Chapter 67, verse 1) states that the Sun and Moon are respectively other forms of Agni and Varuna, and that seems to be the reason why the crocodile was associated with Chandra on some of the Navagraha reliefs. The same Purana (I, Chapter 52, verse 18) also refers to Varuna's chariot driven by 7 swans yoked to it-sapta-hamsarathe tasya Varunasya mahatmanah. A similar type of Hamsa-ratha is prescribed by this Purana (ibid, Chapter 44, verse 6) for Brahma as well i. e. jatadharam chaturbahum saptahamse-rathasthitam. This seems to corroborate the sculptural representation at Elephanta, where we find three-headed Brahma seated on a lotus seat which is marked by 7 swans in a single row. (Fig. 2). The close association of Brahma with Soma (Chandra) is very well corroborated by a literary reference in the Markandeya Purana, Chapter 17, verses 10-12. These identifications and affiliations may have led to the transference of Brahma's or Varuna's hamsa (swan) to Chandra (Moon). Fal and Bhattacharya (op. cit., p. 22) state that "Chandra rides a goose and only the Kriya sangraha Panjika gives the number of geese as seven. This must have therefore been the literary tradition followed by the artists in Nepal". According to them (Pal and Bhattacharya, op. cit., p. 22). "the earliest representation of Chandra riding a chariot of geese or swans occurs in the Buddhist paintings of Tun-huang, on the borders of C. Asia and China". 1.

________________ The temple No. 2 at Osian, near Jodhpur in Rajasthan preserves, on the exterior south wall of the main sanctum, an image of standing and two armed Chandra with crescent mark at back; he carries a Kamandalu in his left hand while the right holds the aksha-mala. The relief may still be seen between the niches. containing images of Trivikrama and standing Agni; the vehicle of Chandral appears to be a lion (?) here (Fig.3), which is of course conspicuous by its absence in a somewhat similar type of standing Chandra in the back niche of roadside temple at the same site (Fig. 4). Most important of course is seated Chandra on the exterior of Hari Hara Temple No. 1 at Osian (Fig. 5); the face of the moongod is partly peeled off; he has got matted locks on the head and holds a beaded rosary in the raised up right hand; the left hand carries a water-pot Below the seat of Chandra appear two swans, each facing opposite directions. This is quite an unusual sculpture (13 inches x 9 inches); the two swans may here suggest Chandra's association with sapta hamsa-ratha. There is nothing to reflect any Buddhist impact on it; the entire complex of these temples at Osian is Brahmanical and hence the existing carving of a Chandra relief 'with two swans' on a Hari-Hara Temple at Osian is of great artistic and iconographic interest. This motif appears to have travelled to Central Asia, under the impact of Indian art traditions. The symbolic representation of Sun and Moon, as weapons carried by Siva, in earlymediaeval paintings from Dandanuiliq and Balawaste in Central Asia, should also be kept in view; Sun is represented by a 'wheel' and moon by a 'crescent' mark. The same motif should now be looked into the multi-headed representation of Siva in a Shahi relief, and also in the famous early-Gupta SivaParvati terracotta from Rangamahal, now preserved in Bikaner Museum. What has till now been interpreted to be Ganga or some obscure Gana figure, just above the central head of Siva in the Bikaner terracotta, may well be identified as the Siva bust, carrying a wheel (Sun) in the right hand and crescent (ardha-Chandra= Moon) in the left. The Chaturmirti aspect of Siva, in this early Siva-Parvati relief from Rajasthan, should therefore be carefully examined. The Sun & Moon as emblems, carried by Siva in all sculptures & terracottas, may also be seen in the Chaturmirti Siva image recently discovered by Dr. N. P. Joshi at Musanagar, 1.

________________ near Kanpur (U. P.); the relief is datable to the Kushana period; the fourth Siva bust is shown just above the central Siva-head; here also he carries the sun and moon symbols in the upper arms. The inspiration for Central Asian and Shahi representations therefore seems to have been derived from the earlier carvings from India. The famous inscribed Varaha from Mathura Museum1 and datable to the Kushana period holds two circular discs in his upper hands, the same bear, in the circular space, carvings of a male person seated on a chariot driven by two horses. It is likely that the sculptor associated Chandra and Surya with Mahk Varaha in this particular Kushana panel and depicted them alike. The seven horses for Sun's chariot and ten horses for Chandra's chariot were probably not fully carved in this particular relief due to the paucity of space. The Matsya Purana (More Edition, 247. 68) calls Varaha as the the 'holder of the eye of the day and night' and that may possibly be the reason for carving such discs, with solar figures, in the upper hands of Varaha. The entire problem needs further probe. From Rajasthan may also be reported another interesting stone relief studded into the right exterior niche of Sun Temple at Chittor and datable to the 8th century (Fig. 6). Two armed and standing Chandra here appear in the company of an animal, which is equally unusual. The animal standing behind Chandra appears like a 'dog' (?) though we are not aware of such a Vahana for the god. Other details, including the weapons, matted locks on the head and crescent mark behind, rope-like garland hanging down to the knees etc, have been delineated quite vividly; the rosary in the right hand and a kamandalu in the left hand of Chandra are very well preserved. Hardly do we come across any Surya temple wherein we notice an image of Chandra carved independently as the one from Chittor under review. During my recent explorations in Bharatpur region I was able to discover at Pengore (near Kumher) a colossal stone relief where appear carving of two armed Chandra in standing pose. He holds a water-pot in the left hand and rosary in the other. The tiny figure of a single swan near his right leg is very interesting. The relief, now in Bharatpur Museum, is datable to the Pratihara period (Fig. 7). All these are very important early-mediaeval representations of two armed moon god on Pengore panel in exterior niches of Osian temples, The grouping of Ganesa.

________________ these temples at Osian (distt. Jodhpur) is all the more interesting which amply proves that Chandra did not represent any Dikpala at that stage. In Hari-Hara Temple No. 1 at Osian we notice seated Chandra (Fig. 3) on the southern side of the sanctum while naravahana Kubera appears in a northern niche of the same shrine. Let us also scrutinise the dikpalas as depicted on the upper portion of Kalyanasundara slab from Kannauj and datable to the Pratihara period. Mr. Mohan Mukhopadhyaya has made a fresh study thereof (Journal of Indian Society of Oriental Art, Calcutta, New Series, 1967-58, Vol. II, pp. 4-6 & plate I, fig. 1) In the topmost left corner of Kannauj relief may be seen a male figure riding astride on a swan (hamsa), though some scholars have wrongly identified the same as Karttikeya. Mr. Mukhopadhyaya likes to identify this figure as that of Chandra, the Moon god, but that does not seem to be reasonable in view of a noose (pasa) in his right hand and not a lotus flower. The crescent mark is also absent. It probably represents Varuna, who is associated both with a noose and a swan. According to the Vishnu-dharmottara Purana, cited above, "Varuna even rides on a chariot driven by seven swans". More so, the entire grouping, in the upper portion of Kannauj relief, relates to the dikpalas, such as Indra on elephant, Vayu on horse, Yama on a buffalo, Niriti on a man (he is not Kubera,... ...etc.; potbellied Kubera is there seated to right and just above appears seated Ganesa, not identified by Mukhopadhyaya. We may also note the depiction of Varuna riding on a swan likewise in the early Pratihara Kalyanasundara relief form Kaman (Bharatpur) and now preserved in the National Museum at New Delhi. Varuna in Ellora panel of course rides over a crocodile (makara). It appears that some of the Pratihara sculptors had also associated a swan with Varuna, the prominent Dikpalas in early Indian art. Varuna, therefore, should not be confused with Chandra (Moon). Dr. K. C. Panigrahi (Archaeological Remains at Bhubaneshwar, 1961, Calcutta, p. 72, figure 40) illustrates the two-armed statue which he calls Chandra, though there is utter absence of the crescent mark and the vehicle in the photograph of Parasuramesvara relief published by him. I have recently come across at Sikar, a 10th century panel depicting dancing Ganesa, standing Sun & Moon in a single row. Chandra here has got a crescent mark behind his head. This combination is equally unusual. 1. It is an unpublished relief studded near the stair-case of modern temple on Harsha Hill, near Sikar in Rajasthan. 48 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

________________ Prehistoric Background of Rajasthani Culture V. N. Misra University of Poona. Every Indian knows something of the heroism, chivalry and sacrifice of the Rajputs during the Medieval period of Indian history, and feels rightly proud of them. Educated and historically or artistically conscious people also know something of Rajasthan's rich and varied heritage of architecture, sculpture and painting. Historians, among whom the name of Shri Agar Chandji Nahata deserves special mention, have utilized the evidence from inscriptions, coins, manuscripts and other historical documents to illumine the rich historical past of Rajasthan. All these evidences, rich as they no doubt are, do not take our knowledge of Rajasthan's past beyond two or three centuries before Christ. Few people so far know that the history of Rajasthan (using the word history in its comprehensive sense as the story of man's past, both written and unwritten) goes back to a very remote past, at least a thousand years from now and probably more. The great variety and complexity characterizing the Indian ethnic and cultural landscape is an oft-repeated statement, and it holds true for Rajasthan as much as for other parts of our country, Less adequately recognized and understood are the diversities in economic, technological and material culture patterns. Any one who is seriously interested in understanding the factors and processes which have created this diversity must look beyond the confines of the brief historical period. Archaeological discoveries show that many elements of our material culture are centuries or even millennia older than the recorded historical period. Basic items of our technology, economic patterns, many of the vessels used in our homes, our food habits and even our counting and measuring systems (before the change over to metric system) can be traced to prehistoric times. Thus a knowledge of prehistory (i. e. history before written documents of any kind came into existence) is essential for understanding not only our remote past but even our living present. Stray discoveries of prehistoric objects and sites had been made in Rajasthan in the second half of the last century and the first half of the present century. But it is the systematic exploration and excavation in the last two decades that alone have substantially contributed to our knowledge of Rajasthan's prehistoric past. The institutions which have been responsible for this research are the Arch itihAsa aura purAtattva : 49

________________ aeological Survey of India, the Department of Archaeology and Museums, Rajasthan and the Deccan College Research Institute and the University of Poona, The wo k done so farhas, however, covered only a part of the State; large areas remain completely unexplored. And planned and systematic excavation which alone can throw light on the many aspects of past cultures has been done on only a few sites. Indeed it is only a beginning and much more work is needed before we can write a true prehistory for the entire State. Yet with the work done so far it is possible to see a clear outline of the cultural history of Rajasthan from the beginning of Stone Age to the time when historical records begin to be available. This essay is an attempt to put before the scholars the results of the work done so far in this field. For the convenience of treatment we can divide the period of Rajasthan's prehistory into the following sub-periods: 1. Earliest hunter-gatherers: The Lower Palaeolithic, 2. Advanced hunter-gatherers : The Middle Palaeolithic. 3, Final hunter-gatherers : The Mesolithic. 4. Beginnings of settled village life : The Chalcolithic. 5. Beginnings of urban life : The Indus Civilization, 6. Expansion of settled village life : ushering in of Iron Age. Betore treating these periods individually it will be useful to briefly summarise the geographical setting of Rajasthan. A culture is an expression of man's adaptation to his environment and so can be understood only in the context of that environment. Though prehistoric environments were not always the same as the present one yet they were conditioned by the existing geographical features, and so the knowledge of present-day geographical conditions is useful to that end. The dominating feature of Rajasthan's geographical setting is the Aravalli range which divides the State into two unequal but distinct halves. The western part or Marwar is mainly a flat alluvial plain marked here and there by isolated hills and in the western and northern parts by numerous sand dunes. There are no large flowing rivers in the region. In the southern part there is a network of small streams with Luni as the principal river. All of them rise in the Aravallis and carry flowing water only for a few days during the monsoon. Their beds are largely choked with sand, with pools of stagnant water here and there. Yet there is plenty of geological evidence that during the remote past when stone-age man inhabited this region the rivers were regularly flowing, and the climate must have been different. In the desert to the north and west there are a number of saline lakes which too several millennia ago were fresh-water lakes. In the northernmost part of the State is the dried-up bed of the Ghaggar ( ancient Saraswati) which as late as the Vedic period was a mighty flowing river. The climate over most of the area is arid. Rainfall is generally well below 40 cm per annum and is very uncertain. There are frequent failures of rain and consequent famines. In these conditions agriculture is always pre 50: agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

________________ carious and pastoralism has been an important element in the economy. The soil' however, is fertile and given adequate water can be made to yield rich harvest. This has been amply demonstrated in the Ghaggar bed in Sri Ganganagar District. The eastern part or Mewar is mainly an undulating rocky plain. But it receives more rainfall and is consequently greener and fertile. The Chambal is the main river. It is perennial and has a large network of tributaries and sub-tributaries which carry water during at least half of the year. The southwestern portion of Mewar is hilly and thickly forested. At its eastern end it opens on to the fertile Malwa plain. In the north the cover of alluvium over the rocky plain increases and the country merges into the Indo-Gangetic plain. Much of the population is dependent on agriculture. The Brahmins, the Rajputs, the Gujars, the Jats and the Dangis are the principal agricultural communities. The Garis and the Rewaris are pastoral. The former rear sheep while the latter keep herds of camels and cattle. The hilly and forested country of the Ara vallis is inhabited principally by the Bhils, the Minas and the Garasias. Bhils and Minas are also found in other parts of the State where they have settled down in peasnat villages and become integrated in the peasant society. Those in the hilly areas still retain their distinctive culture. With the decline in the forest cover and wild life their dependence on hunting has declined, but Bhils still remain expert archers and exploit the resources of the forest for their living. They are inheritors of a distinct cultural tradition which can be traced to prehistoric times. 1. Earliest hunter-gatherers: The Lower Palaeolithic Archaeological vestiges of this period constitute what prehistorians call the Acheulian culture. They consist only of stone tools. There is no doubt that the makers and users of these tools also used other materials like wood, animal hide, bone etc. for making their tools but the passage of time and the action of natural agencies must have destroyed them completely. Of their way of life we can have some idea only on the basis of comparative study with other areas. No living sites where their tools and the food-remains could have been preserved have been discovered. Their stone tools which have survived in plenty testify to a flourishing and large Acheulian population in Rajasthan. The principal tool types are handaxes, cleavers, choppers, chopping tools, scrapers and flakes besides the cores from which these flakes were removed. They are made mostly of quartzite and occasionally of sondstone or quartz by flaking or chipping from rounded river pebbles picked up from the river bed. These tools are found in thick bouldery and pebbly deposits. which overlie either the basal bedrock or a white clayey deposit which is a product of the decomposition of the bedr ock and the fluvial action. These deposits indicate a relatively dry climate which produced plenty of rock deb. ris in the hills. The climate must have, however, been marked by heavy rains. during a part of the year so that the streams could transport heavy loads of boulders into the river beds where they were deposited. The countryside must, however, have had sufficient vegetation cover to support wild life which these people hunted. itihAsa aura purAtattva : 51

________________ Early man must have lived along the river banks. He utilized the pebbles from the river bed for making his tools. These tools he used for hunting and butchering animals, for skinning them and cutting their meat, and also for digging roots and tubers from the soil. He must no doubt have exploited wild fruits, seeds etc. for his food. Whether he used fire we do not know. But comparative evidence from other parts of the world would suggest that they knew the use of fire. They discarded their tools at their living and butchering sites from where in course of time they were washed down by rainwater and streams and deposited in the river beds. Only the discovery and excavation of their living camps can throw light on their living patterns. These people must have lived at least a hundred. thousand years ago from now and probably earlier. The remains of Acheulian culture have been found widely in Rajasthan but the area of their greatest concentration lies around Chitor. Here Acheulian tools have been found in large numbers in the beds of the rivers Gambhiri and Berach near Chitor itself, in the Wagan near Hajiakheri, in the Kadmali near Nimbahera, in the Berach near Chitor, Bichore and Bigod, in the Banas near Sarupganj and all the way up to Tonk and in the Chambal near Kota, Rawatbhata, etc. It appears that the Acheulian man avoided the thickly forested country of the Aravallis and the foothills for in spite of our intensive search only isolated tools of this culture have been found west of the Wagan river and none beyond Dabok in District Udaipur. In the north an Acheulian site is reported on the Sanwan Nadi, a tributary of the Banganga near Bangarh in District Alwar. The Lower Palaeolithie man also does not seem to have crossed the Aravallis except infrequently and did not venture into the interior ot the Marwar plain. The only pure Acheulian site known from west of the Aravallis-and it is not a rich site is Govindgarh on the river Sagarmati some 15 km. west of Ajmer. Further exploration, especially in the Chambal basin, will no doubt bring many more Acheulian culture sites to light. 2. Advanced hunter-gatherers: The Middle Palaeolithic The Acheulian culture was succeeded by a new culture which we call the Middle Palaeolithic. Before this transition took place, the rivers in Rajasthan had been active, and depositing new sediments in their beds. The older thick bouldery deposits had been covered by a white clayey deposit, and over it came fine sandy gravels. In eastern Rajasthan it is in these gravels that we find the tools of the Middle Palaeolithic. In western Rajasthan in the beds of the Luni and its tributaries there is no evidence of the older coarser gravels and the Lower PalaeoHere the oldest deposit in the river beds is a white clay. Over this lie highly cemented fine sandy gravels, and it is in these gravels that the remains of the Middle Palaeolithic tools are found. These tools are made of finer rocks like chert and flint. They are also smaller in size than the Acheulian tools. There, 52 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana grantha

________________ however, does not seem to have been a break in culture for some of the older tool forms like the handaxe continued to be used alongside the new tool forms. The tools of this new culture were made mainly out of small and thin flakes and only occasionally out of complete stone pebbles or blocks. The Levalloisian technique of removing flakes which was already in use in the Acheulian culture was now more frequently used for producing flakes. In this technique, named after a suburb of Paris where the flakes displaying it were first discovered, the outline of the final flake is determined on the core (or the parent body of the stone) beforehand by convergent flaking, and then the blake removed by a carefully struck blow. The flakes so obtained are thin and sharp-edged and of oval, pointed or circular shape. As their edges are already sharp all round they can be put to use for cutting etc. without much secondary retouch. The principal tool types of this period are a variety of scrapers (side, end and hollow type), points and borers. Blades or thin parallel-sade flakes also came to be more frequently produced in this age. The scrapers are beliicued to have been used mainly for working wood (preparing spears, etc.) skinning game and cutting meat and the borers for making holes in wood and animal hide. They indicate a greater reliance on wood for weapons and tools. The handaxes are now smaller and better made and many of them are indeed objects of beauty. Even in the Acheulian times some of the handaxes and cleavers had been very well made. Their even thickness and perfect symmetry of outline called for skilful work which went far beyond the necessity of producing an efficient tool or weapon. It only shows that from very early times man had been aware of the aesthetic quality of his creations even where the end product was of a purely utilitarian nature. In western Rajasthan the Middle Palaeolithic culture presents a more evolved picture. The Levallois technique here was more commonly in use. Backed knives and Bifacial points are also distinctive elements of the culture in this region. The man of this period did not rely entirely on river pebbles for making his tools. He went to look for the raw material in geological formations where finer rocks occurred. Since he manufacured his tools there we find large quantities of his tools and their debris on rock outcrops. The richest of these factory sites are to be found in the limestone outcrops near Sojat in Pali District. In eastern Rajasthan Middle Palaeolithic tools are found at several localities in the river Wagan near Hajiakheri in Chitor District, in river Kadmali at Nimbahera in Chitorgarh District and in the Chambal at Kota. But the Luni basin is richer in the relics of this culture. Here at some twenty sites in the Luni and its tributaries these tools have been found. The Middle Palaeolithic culture of the Luni valley is a mixture of evolved Acheulian elements and the typical tools of the Middle Palaeolithic of other regions. It includes beautifully made handaxes and cleavers as well as the small flake scrapers, points etc. In Western Europe and West Asia the Middle Palaeolithic culture was itihAsa aura purAtattva : 53

________________ followed by the Upper Palaeolithic. This period is characterized by elegant blade tools and burins (chisel-edged blade or core tools). During this period also appear for the first time men who are anatomically identical to the living human. races, i.e. the Homo sapiens. Upper Palaeolithic type tools have been found at a few sites in south India. But by and large evidence for this period is lacking in India. And this observation applies to Rajasthan as well. Blades were produced in this region right from the Acheulian times and they are more common in the Middle Palaeolithic culture both in Eastern and Western Rajasthan. In the factory sites near Sojat slender blades are found together with Middle Palaeolithic and other tools. There is a strong possibility that further exploration in this region should yield the evidence of an independent Upper Palaeolithic culture. Upper Palaeolithic like blades are also present in the Middle Palaeolithic industries of the eastern region, and further investigation is needed in this area as well. 8. The Final Hunter-gatherers: The Mesolithic Throughout the stone age while the tools have been becoming more efficient, there has also been a distinct tendency for them to get smaller and lighter.. This tendency reached its climax during the Mesolithic age which began around 12,000 years ago, and persisted from a few centuries to several millennia in different parts of the world. The tools of this period are made on narrow blades or, more correctly, bladelets by steeply retouching or blunting one or more of their sides. Known as microlithis (meaning small tools) they are often of geometric shapes like crescents, triangles, trapezes, rhombs, etc. A number of such pieces were fitted in a slotted bone or wood to make tips and barbs of arrows, knives, sickles, etc. The presence of these tools at a site is almost certain proof of the use of bow and arrow and by implication of a more effiicient method of hunting. These composite tools were superior to the tools of the earlier stone ages in one more way if a part of the tool was broken it could be easily replaced to make the tool serviceable again whereas the older single piece tools had to be discarded if their tip or edge was broken. Rajasthan has produced unusually rich evidence of the Mesolithic age in India. Microliths had been found since 1955 in many places, especially in Mewar. They were usually found on rock elevations where necessary raw material for making them were easily available. But at these sites the material consisted mostly of cores and waste flakes and only occasionally of blades and finished tools. It was clear that these sites were essentially factory sites where prehistoric hunters, taking advantage of the easily available raw material, had manufactured their tools and taken them to their living camps for use, leaving the waste material behind. But until we found these camps we could have no idea of the way of life of the makers of these tools, nor of their antiquity. Circumstantial evidence, however, indicated that the tools were older than 2,000 B.C. In other parts of India microliths had also been used by earliest agri54 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana grantha

________________ culturalists who appeared late in the third millennium B.C. or early in the second millennium B.C. But in Mewar excavation at early village sites showed that their occupants had not used microliths. Thus the microliths found at the surface sites referred to earlier could only have belonged to an older and perhaps hunting, culture. And as the first agricultural settlements were known to date from the beginning of the second millennium B. C, the microliths must be older than this date. Our search for the living camps of these microlith-using people was rewarded in the winter of 1966-67 when we discovered two such sites--Bagor in Mewar and Tilwara in Marwar. Excavation at these sites has thrown a flood of light on the way of life of the microlith-users. Bagor is a large village on the bank of the Kothari river, a tributary of the Banas, some 25 kilometers west of the Bhilwara town. A large sand dune overlooking the river near the village had been occupied by stone-using communities for nearly five millennia from c. 4,500 B.C. onwards. The people lived on the dune over floors which were made stable by paving them with pebbles picked up from the river bed and rock slabs quarried from the schisi outcrops on the opposite bank of the river. The people appear to have erected circular huts and windbreaks of wattle to protect themselves from the elements. They produced beautiful little microliths in thousands for use in their hunting and cutting tools. These microliths are made of quartz and chert or chalcedony. The microliths and their debris lie littered on the stone floors together with animal bones and the numerous stone hammers which were used to manufacture the microliths and break the bones. The fairly uniform distribution of stone tools over the entire living area shows that every family must have been producing its own requirements of stone tools. The economy of early Bagoreans was a combination of hunting, catching, stock-raising and collecting of wild plant food. Among the animals whose bones have been found at the site are cattle, sheep/goats, deer, antelopes, swines, canines, canines, turtle and fish. The bones are usually charred suggesting that meat was roasted on open fires. They were regularly broken and split open for the extraction of marrow. The inhabitants buried their dead within the settlement by putting the body in an extended position with its head to the west. Apparently these people had no material possessions other than their hunting and cutting tools, their humble houses, and flocks of their sheep/goats and probably cattle. Yet they were the first people in Rajasthan to have achieved a level of economic stability which enabled them to live a settled life. Thier settlement occupied an area of about 6,000 square meters. This suggests a fairly large population for a community that did not yet cultivate any food plants. These are probably also the people from whose culture should be derived the hunting and pastoral tradi. tions still surviving in Rajasthan. Three radio-carbon dates suggest a period of about two thousand years from c. 4,500 B.C. to 2,800 B.C. itihAsa aura purAtattva : 55

________________ The site of Tilwara is located on the river Luni some 16 km, west of the town of Balotra in District Barmer. The settiment lies about two kilometers southwest of Tilwara village on a sand dune in the old bed of the Luni river. But the Tilwara settlement was smaller and of shorter duration than that of Bagor, and the people here lived at a much later date. There must no doubt be older Mesolithic settlements in the region but these have not yet been discovered. The Tilwara people also made small stone tools or microliths but their tools do not always display the same high degree of excellence in craftsmanship as do those of Bagor, Besides quartz and chert these people also used for making their tools rhyolite, a locally available rock which was very hard and resistant to weathering. These people too lived in circular huts which were lined on the outer periphery with stone pebbles or kankar nodules. Outside these huts have been found several hearths with ash and charred bones inside them. Their economy was also a combination of hunting, stock-raising and collecting. They kept sheep/goats and cattle and hunted deer, pigs, etc. These people also had the domesticated dog to help in their chase. At a later stage in the life of their settlement they were also acquainted with pottery and stone and glass beads. The Tilwara settlement is likely to date between 500 B. C. and a couple of centuries beyond the Christian era. What is the explanation for the survival of the hunting-pastoral culture to such a late date in this region? The explanation seems to lie in the geographical condition of the region. Barmer region is very arid and unfavorable for successful agricultural way of life. The present climatic conditions seem to have already been established more than two thousand years ago It was therefore unattractive for pioneering agriculturists. They did not move into this area until they had colonised more favourable areas. The stnne age huntergatherers and herders therefore continued their life undisturbed from the impact of culture contact with agriculturists until the early centuries of the Christian era. As in Mewar the present day surviving hunters and pastoralists are likely to be in the direct line of descent from their prehistoric forerunners. 4. The Beginnings of Settled Village Life : The Chalcolithic Two areas where we have at present the earliest beginnings of full-fledged agriculture and settled village life are Mewar and the Ghaggar basin in north Rajasthan. From these regions this new pattern of economic and social organisation seems to have spread to other areas. In this context Bagor again occupies an important place. The middle levels of the archaeological deposit at this site reveal the introduction of new material traits into the economy. These include copper/bronze tools, pottery, perforated circular stones or mace heads and plentiful use of stone beads for ornaments. There was also a change in the burial practice. The dead were now buried in a flexed position and the orientation of the body was east-west. The graves were also richly furnished with offerings. Metal tools and pottery indicate greater prosperity of 56 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

________________ economy and increased stability of the settlement. Ting stones or mace heads hint at the beginning of a primitive type of agriculture. Pottery is handmade and inadequately fired. But the shapes are sophisticated and suggest an earlier period of evolution elsewhere. The pottery is completely devoid of painted decoration and bears only incised designs. To that extent it belongs to a tradition entirely different from that of the other chalcolithic cultures. Some of the shapes do show similarities with the pottery of Ahar in Mewar and Kayatha in Malwa but it is not possible to connect the pottery securely with any known site. Metal tools include concave-based and barbed arrow-heads with tell-tale similarities with the arrowheads of the Harappa culture. The highly developed nature of pottery and metal tools rules out the possibility that these items of material culture were the inven. tion of Bagoreans. They were certainly derived through culture contact with some other cominunities. Thus while Bagor itself was not a full-fledged agricultural setttlement, its early date hints at the possibility, indeed certainty, of the existence of well-developed village settlements somewhere in the region. Two radio-carbon dates from this phase of Bagor settlement are c. 2800 B.C. and 2100 B.C. Nowhere else in Rajasthan or in its immediate neighbourhood has so far any village settlement of this early date been found. Future exploration should, however, certainly bring to light settlements of this or even earlier date. The earliest known full-fledged village settlements in the Mewar region date to about 2,000 B.C. Some fifty village settlements displaying a fairly uniform material culture have so far been discovered in the valleys of the river Banas and its tributaries in Udaipur, Chitorgarh, Bhilwara, Tonk and Ajmer Districts. But only two sites have been excavated. These are : Ahar near Udaipur and Gilund, on the river Banas in Chitorgarh District, some thirty kilometers south of Bagor. As Ahar was the first site to be discovered and as it alone has ben fairly excavated and fully published, the culture revealed at these sites has been named after this site. The Aharians were among the earliest people in India to cultivate rice. They almost certainly cultivated many other cereal and food plants. But direct evidence of agriculture in the archaeological record is always rare. Their material culture is, however, ample proof of their settled, agricultural economy. They also kept Cattle and goat/sheep and to a small extent also relied on hunting. They lived in substantial houses made of mud, mud-brick and stone. At Gilund there is evidence even of the kiln-baked bricks and of monumental architecture. Their villages were of fairly large size, occupying an area of several acres. They were conversant with the art of smelting copper ores and casting metal tools. Remains of a smelting furnace and copper slag were found at Ahar. Indeed it is notable that unlike other contemporary chalcolithic peoples the Aharians made little or no use of stone tools. Their copper technology was therefore sufficiently advanced to enable the population to dispense with the use of stone tools. For this reason Ahar has been described as Copper Age culture and not as Chalcolithic ( stone and itihAsa aura purAtattva : 57

________________ copper using). They also knew the art of spinning, probably of both cotton and wool and by implication of weaving. Their terra cotta spindle whorls are decorated with a variety of incised designs and suggest affinity with the prehistoric cultures of north Iran and Turkey. Their ornaments include a variety of stone-beads and their art consists of terra-cotta figurines of a variety of animals, some of them dis playing a remarkable degree of realism. The pottery of Aharian peasants was both well-made and varied in fabric, shape and decoration. The three main fabrics are: Red ware, Black-and-Red ware, and Grey ware. Red ware vessels are made of both coarse and fine clay, are generally treated with a bright red slip and are very well burnished. The vessel forms include large narrow-necked vessels with corrugated necks and shoulders, squat wide-mouthed vessels, narrow lota-like vessels, large flat platters, dishes. (including some with a pedestal stand) and bowls. The decoration consists primarily of a variety af applique, incised and cut designs. Some vessels, especially in the late phase, are also decorated with painted designs in black pigment. Some vessels in red ware show clear affinities with the Harappa culture in fabric and shape. The black-and-red ware pottery is almost entirely of table use. It includes a large variety of bowls of many sizes, small lota-like vessels and dishes (including some with a stand). The vessels are slipped in bright red, well burnished and fired by the inverted firing technique which turns the entire inner surface and the upper part of the outer surface black and the rest red. They are painted on the interior as well as the upper part of the exterior surfaces with a variety of dotted and linear designs in white pigment. Grey ware imitates the red ware in shapes and designs but the repertoire of both forms and decorative patterns in this ware is limited. For instance, there are no large narrow-necked vessels with corrugated necks in this ware. On the other hand, some vessels of this ware are decorated with painted designs in white pigment. Radio-carbon dates suggest a period of 2,000 B.C. to 1,200 B.C, for this culture. Further investigation in the region should throw light on the origins of this culture, its relationship with the Bagor culture as well as with the later iron using cultures. The other area in Rajasthan were early agricultural settlements first appeared is the Ghaggar valley in the extreme north of the State. Such settlements are known all along the Ghaggar bed in Sri Ganganagar District and even extend westward into Pakistan where the river is known as Hakra. Our knowledge of this early culture is derived mainly from Kalibangan, a site located midway between Suratgarh and Hanumangarh which has been extensively excavated. There are two mounds at Kalibangan, one larger lying on the eastern side and the other smaller on the western side. While both mounds were occupied by the Harappans, the smaller mound below the Harappan remains has also revealed traces of an older culture which has so far simply been called pre-Harappan culture, but Kalibangan 58 agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana grantha

________________ people seem to have been more prosperous than the Aharians. They had built a mud-brick wall around their settlement for protection against floods or enemies or both. Two phases of the construction of this wall are known. Its width initially was 1.80 m. but was later increased to 3.70 m. The wall has so far been traced only in parts but on one side it extends far well over 100 meters. The houses were made of mud-bricks and were sometimes separated from each other by lanes. Houses were provided with ovens of both overground and underground varieties. Both types were made of mud walls and periodically plastered. The pre-Harappan Kalibangan people used long chert blades as cutting tools but they were also familiar with metal and used celts and other tools of copper and possibly bronze. Their ornaments comprised bangles of copper, terra-cotta and shell, and beads of steatite, shell, carnelian and terra-cotta. They used bullock carts for transport. Terra-cotta objects found at the site include bull figurines, and toy carts. Evidence of furrow marks at the site has provided tell-tale evidence of agriculture though it is not known what plants they cultivated. As with other agricultural communities their economy was a combination of plant cultivation and animal husbandry. The pottery of these people is varied in fabric and shape. Some six fabrics have been distinguished and numbered A to F, Pots in Fabric A are light and thin as opposed to thick and heavy pots of the Harappa culture. They are without a slip and red to pinkish in colour. Vessel forms include vases with out-turned rim, bowls with tapering concave sides, and vases with pedestalled base They are painted in black pigment, sometimes coupled with white, with a variety of geometric and naturalistic designs. Vessels in Fabric B are better made and comprise globular jars. Their bottoms are rusticated by an application of sand and clay. The painted designs comprise animals, insects, birds and flowers. Fabric C is of finer clay. The vessels comprise globular and ovoid vases with disc base, lids, straight-sided bowls and offering stands. Decoration is in black and includes geometric and naturalistic designs, among them the scale pattern so characteristic of the Harappa culture. Fabric D vessels are thick and sturdy and include heavy jars, bowls, basins. and troughs. Some of these are decorated with deep incisions and wavy lines. on the inner surface. Fabric E and F are relatively less common. The former is characterized by cream slip and decoration in black with geometric and naturalistic designs, and the latter is of grey colour with decoration in black. Some of the forms and designs of Kalibangan pottery bear similarities with. the pre-Harappan pottery of Kot Diji, Amri and Harappa and several pre-Harappan sites in Baluchistan. The early peasant colonisation of the Ghaggar valley seems to be part of the extension of the peasant communities from the Baluchi hills into the plains of the Indus below. A number of radio.carbon dates from Kalibangan show that the first occupation at the site took place around 2,300 B.C. and this pre-Har itihAsa aura purAtatva : 59

________________ appan culture endured till about 2,100 B. C, when it was overwhelmed by the superior Harappan culture. At the moment we have no idea whether these preHarappan people had also spread outtide the Ghaggar valley, and only future exploration will reveal it. 5. Beginnings of Urban Life: The Indus Civilization At Kalibangan the pre-Harappan settlement was followed by a full-fledged Harappan settlement. The Harappans came from the outside for there is no evidence of the new culture having grown of the local culture. The Harappans, however, did not drive out the existing occupants of the site for elements of both cultures are seen to flourish for some time. But with the passage of time the Harappan dominance obliterated the identity of the pre-Harappan culture. As at other urban centres of the Harappa culture, like Mohenjodaro and Harappa, the Harappan settlement at Kalibangan consisted of two occupational units: a citadel and a lower town. The citadel was formed by enclosing the southern part of the pre-Harappan occupation within massive walls. Inside the fortification huge mud-brick platforms were constructed on which the buildings were raised. The citadel was roughly rhomb-shaped. The length of its individual walls varies between a hundred and 125 meters. The walls were reinforced with rectangular salients and the corners were provided with massive square towers. Two phases of construction are seen in the citadel, with the size of the bricks becoming smaller in the second phase. There is also evidence that the fortification became ineffective in the final stages of the settlement. There were entrances on the northern and southern side to the citadel. Considerable brick robbing at the site has obliterated the details of the structures raised over the mud-brick platforms. But these probably included, in the excavators, a building meant for ritualistic purposes. The presence of an elaborate drainage at successive levels is one of the grounds of this surmise. Within the enclosure of a room were found rectangular fire-places aligned in a row. These were later cut through by a drain. A well was also found on the citadel. The larger eastern mound contains the remains of a lower town. It has revealed the typical Indus chess-board plan with oblong blocks of houses subdivided by lanes and thoroughfares. The main arterial thorough fares ran in a north-south direction. The width of the streets and thorough-fares ranged between 1. 0 m. and 7. 20 m. The thorough-fares were generally unmetalled except in the last phase when the metalling material was terra-cotta nodules and bricks laid on edge. Throughout the occupation the streets and thoroughfares were rigorously maintained without any alteration and the only encroachment on them was of rectangular troughs and bazar platforms. Houses were made of mud-bricks arranged in regular courses of headers and stretchers; the use of burnt brick was restricted to drains and wells, Their 60 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana grantha

________________ alignment was different from that of the pre-Harappan houses. Each house possessed one courtyard, five to seven rooms aligned on three sides, a curious fire altar and sometimes a well. In the grid plan cach house faced at least two streets if not three. The floors were made of rammed clay and paved with terra-cotta nodules and charcoal. This practice survives in the region to this day. Paved platforms were also made on the front side of some of the houses. The roof of the houses was possibly made of mud laid over a cushioning of reeds supported over wooden rafters the remains of which have survived embedded in mud. The discovery of a well-preserved stair-case with four treads intact in one house suggests the possibility of houses with two storeys. Houses were generally provided with covered burnt brick drains. In one house the drain was of wood, a log of wood scooped into a U shape. The streets were generally not provided with drains and. the house drains discharged into soakage jars buried in the streets Each house had, in one of the rooms, one or more fire-places. These were shallow oval or rectangular pits in which fire was made and in the centre a cylindrical (sun-baked or pre-fired) or rectangular ( baked brick) block was fixed. Terra-cotta cakes have also been found in these pits. Apparently, the fire-places were part of some elaborate ritual. The pottery found at the site is typical of the Harappa culture. It is sturdy in fabric, has a red-slipped outer surface and is decorated with geometric and naturalistic designs in black pigment. The most common designs are intersecting circles, scales, pipal leaves and rosettes, The vessel forms are typical of the Harappa culture and include goblet with pointed base, perforated cylindrical jar, dish-on-stand, cylindrical beaker, tall jar with S shaped profile, etc. Agriculture was no doubt the mainstay of the economy of such a prosperous society though at present we have no evidence of the food grains they cultivated. Stock-raising was an important part of the economy and hunting also played some role. Among the animals of which the bones have been found at the site are: zebu or Indian domestic humped cattle, Indian buffalo, pig, goat, sheep, elephant, domestic ass, barasingha, Indian rhinoceros, chital, turtle and among birds, fowl. The material culture of the Harappans was quite varied. Objects recovered from the excavation include chert blades and cores, personal ornaments like beads of semi-precious stones, gold, faience, steatite, and terra-cotta. bangles of shell, copper and terra cotta, chert cubical weights, household tools or copper and bronze, terra cotta figurines of humans, animals and birds, and typical Harappan seals and sealings. Some of the animal figurines show a very vigorous and naturalistic rendering of the body. Some of the seals bear reed impressions on suggesting the type of packages they were employed to seal. Also noteworthy is the finding of a cylinder seal from the site. The evidence for textiles is provided by the impressions of a woven cloth on a copper object. There are a variety of terra-cotta cakes, triangular and circular, including ill-shaped nodules. These are itihAsa aura purAtatva 61

________________ incised on both faces with some elusive figures, one of which is horned. Miscellaneous terra-cotta objects include a feeding bowl and gamesmen. A cemetery found just 300 m. west of the citadel mound has thrown light on the burial practices of the Kalibangan Harappans. Three types of burials are revealed : 1. extended inhumation; 2. pot burial and 3, rectangular burial. The second and third types have not yielded skeletal remains yet from the cirumstantial evidence they appear to have been some kind of burials only. In the first type of burial the grave consists of an oblong pit in which the skeleton was laid in an extended position with the head to the north. Pots were arranged near the head as well as the feet. In one case as many as seventy pots were kept with the skeleton. Other grave goods associated with different burials include a bronze or copper mirror, one shell ring 6.5 cm in diameter and found near the left ear and beads of gold, jasper, agate, carnelian and steatite. Pot burials have been found for the first time at a Harappan site. In this type the urn was placed in a circular or oval pit and around the urn were placed pots varying from 4 to 29 in number. Other associated objects include shell bangles, beads and steatite objects. The third type of burial consists of rectangular or oval grave with its longer axis oriented north-south. These graves too were devoid of any skeletal material. The grave goods consisted of pottery and in one instance of a fragmentary shell bangle, a string of steatite disc beads, besides one of carnelian. Kalibangan was not a solitary Harappan settlement in the Saraswati valley. Some 25 settlements are known in the Saraswati and the Drishadvati valleys. Most of the latter are small mounds, representing tiny peasnat settlements. The total picture is thus similar to that revealed in Sind or Saurashtra, namely, of a large town surrounded with numerous ancillary villages. Mr. B. B. Lal has suggested that if Mohenjodaro and Harappa were two metropolitan capitals of the Indus Empire, Kalibangan might have been a provincial capital guarding the Saraswati valley. A large number of C-14 dates from Kalibangan give a time spread of roughly between 2,100 B. C. and 1,800 B. C. for the Harappan settlement. It is not clear how and why the Harappan culture in this area came to an end. One theory is that the changes in the river courses led to a sharp decline in the volume of water in the Saraswati and thereby forced the people to move to other areas. Far to the east of Kalibangan the site of Noh, about six kilometers west of Bharatpur on the Agra road might give some answer to this problem. Limited excavation at this site which was occupied over a long period has revealed at the base of the deposit a layer containing what has come to be known as Ochre Coloured Pottery. No complete shapes are available, but the ware is similar to that found at Atranjikhera in western Uttar Pradesh and other sites. Ochre Coloured Pottery was first found in early fifties at Hastinapura in Meerut District of Uttar Pradesh below the Painted Grey ware levels. Since then the pottery has been found at a number of sites in western U. P., Haryana and Punjab. At Atranjikhera and 62 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Noh the pottery occurs below a deposit that contains Black-and-Red ware which in turn lies below the Painted Grey ware. Unfortunately, so far at nearly all the sites where the Ochre Coloured Pottery has been found, it occurs in silty layers which appear to have been formed by river floods. Thus very little is known of the original nature of the pottery and the other items of material culture associated with it. But scholars who have considerable experience of handling Harappan pottery are inclined to believe that the Ochre Coloured Pottery is a degenerated version of Harappan pottery which has lost its original colour and sturdiness due to its long stay in the waterlogged Gangetic silt. The site of Noh located midway between the Harappan sites of the Saraswati valley and the 0. C. P. sites in the Jumna valley would fit in well with this theory, and suggest that the Harappan from the Saraswati valley as also those from west Punjab moved towards the east in their decadent days. More field work in north Rajasthan is needed to throw light on this interesting problem. 6. The Spread of Settled Village Life : The Beginnings of Iron Age While, as we have already seen, large areas of Rajasthan were colonised by peasant farmers during the Chalcolithic period, the universal extension of agricultural way of life had to wait for the introduction of irom tools. Iron was more plentifully available and cheap, and so only with its discovery could common man afford metal tools. With the universal availability of metal tools it became possible for peasant farmers to clear newer lands for agriculture and establish new settlements there. This event in north India is believed to have taken place around the beginning of the first millennium B. C. or soon thereafter for the first reliable evidence of iron in this area is associated with the Painted Grey ware. This ceramic, first found at Ahichchhatra in northern Uttar Pradesh in the early forties, has since been discovered at numerous sites in the Sutlej and Ganga basins. Many of these sites are closely linked with the story of the great epic, Mahabharata. In Rajasthan the Painted Grey ware is now known from many sites in two areas : The Saraswati valley in the west, and north-eastern region in the east. While in the Saraswati valley there is a clear break between the Harappan occupation and the Painted Grey ware, in the evidence from Noh, limited though it is, reveals a continuity from the 0. C. P. to Painted Grey ware. At this site these two cultural phases are intervened by a deposit yielding black-and-red pottery. This pottery is said to be unpainted unlike that from Ahar and other sites. Nothing more is known about this pottery and its associations. But eastern Rajasthan is an important area for resolving the question of the relationship between the black-and-red ware and the Painted Grey ware. In eastern Rajasthan Painted Grey ware is known from a number of sites in Bharatpur, Jaipur and Ajmer districts. Excavations have been done only on two sites, namely, Noh near Bharatpur and Bairat in District Jaipur. These are, however, so far of a limited nature and do not throw much light on the way of life of the itihAsa aura purAtattva : 63

________________ users of this ware. Besides the fine Painted Grey ware they used black-and-red ware. They were fully acquainted with iron tools. Axes, spear-heads and arrowheads of this metal have been found. Other finds are stone-beads, cotta discs of indeterminate use, bone styluses and copper objects. Charred rice has also been found at Noh. The dating of the Painted Grey ware has been a matter of controversy. Radio carbon dates from Noh and other sites indicate a date of around 800 B. C. for the beginning of this ware. The Painted Grey ware was followed by the appearance of a very high quality ceramic known as the Northern Black Polished ware in about 500 B. C. With this ceramic also come to light for the first time coins and many other items of material culture. The first urban settlements after the Chalcolithic Harappan cities came into existence, and civic life spread widely in north India. Historically identifiable dynasties now come to light, and from here onwards we enter the historical period the study of which is outside the scope of this paper. At. Noh nor: thern Black Polished ware deposits overlie the Painted Grey ware deposits and are succeeded by layers of Sunga-Kushana remains. In south Rajasthan the capital city of Madhyamika (present day Nagari near Chitor) came into existence soon after. In the Saraswati valley there was a revival of settlements in the Kushana period perhaps due to new changes in the river courses. By the beginning of the Christian era settled village life based on agriculture, animal husbandry and iron technology had been established over most of Rajasthan. But this consummation was the result of a long drawn out struggle that prehistoric man had waged against his environment. The kingdoms, empires, and all the great achievements of historical timesin architecture, sculpture, painting, literature, and so on-could be possible only on the firm foundations of settled life and a secure economic basis which had been laid by our prehistoric ancestors. It has been said that prehistory underlies all civilization, and this statement most suitably applies in the case of Rajasthan. BIBLIOGRAPHY 1. Brown J.

________________ Mewar Painting Kumar Sangram Singh of Nawalgarh Mewar, the land of Sisodia Rajputs, made great contributions to the Indian chivalry and patriotism. They faced the onslaught of the invading Muslim invaders to save their religion and sovereignty, whereas their women walked smilingly to perform Johar. Today the name of the invaders, their grandeur & kingdoms have disappeared completely, whereas the land of the Sisodias---Mewarstill remains very much alive and is prospering, with the efforts of all clans and castes. Along with bravery, the rulers and the people were great worshippers of arts, literature and architecture. They made a great contribution to the cultural heritage of the country. Today we find oldest paintings from this region in Rajasthan. Geographically Mewar enjoys a very important position, the hills, forests and lakes have made it a very fertile land, a good hide out in event of danger, without creating any food scarcity. Even during troubled times the artists and artisans continued their creative pursuits. Amongst the Diwans of Iklangji, Rana Kumbha (1433-1468) was a great scholar, fond of music and a great builder. He wrote commentaries on Kumar Sambhava and Gita Govinda. Today his victory tower stands majestically at the Chittorgarh Fort. Then comes Rana Sanga (1509-28) amidst the first Mewar Rulers to face the Mughals. Bhojraj, his son, married the famous poetess MIRA whose devotional songs are sung from North to South and East to West of this vast country. He was followed by a few rulers. Then came Maharana Udai Singh to face the armies of Akbar and who shifted his capital by founding the city of Udaipur, which is known as the Venice of India, as it has beautiful lakes, with houses and the majestic palace situated on the lake and the Jag Mandir as a pearl, in the midst of the famous Pichola lake. The painting upto this period belongs to Western Indian Style (Jain Scool) (Plate 1) and cannot be called as purely Mewar as the style was prevalent in Gujrat, Mewar, Marwar, Jaisalmer and other parts. Earliest being SUPASANAHA CHARIYAM dated 1423 of Mewar origin. and later the works of art of 1525 to 75 A. D. illustrating Geet Govind, Chaur panchacika etc were executed. Now comes the period of the great Maharana Pratap (1572-1597) who was 68: agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ a very bold man and had never learnt to bend before any power or force, at any cost. He faced the worst days, as did his people but under no circumstances he was prepared to yield and believed in keeping the banner of Mewar high. He received full co-operation, in facing powerful emperor Akbar, from his supporters, his people and specially the Bhils which fought shoulder to shoulder with his other soldiers. The battle of Haldighat was nobody's victory or defeat. He changed his capital from Udaipur to Chavanda to give a tough and rough time to his foes. Maharana Pratap did not get much time of leisure to patronize arts as he was always busy in protecting his land and people from slavery and insult. We do find traces of Kulladar style (Plates 2) in about (1575-80). Unfortunately not a single authentic and contemporary portrait of this great son of Bharat has been traced so far, whereas portraits of many contemporaries to him at the court of Akbar have been found including those of Faja Man Singh of Amber (Bharat Kala Bhawan Collection-Varanasi) and of Raja Faisal Durbari (Chaster Betty CollectionDublin-Ireland). He was succeeded by his son Amar Singh (1597-1620) and circumstances. compelled him to accept the sovereignty of the Mughals. The result was that the relations with the Mughal Emperor became closer and there was peace in the land of Mewar. The attention of the Ruler and his people were diverted from wars to creative side. Thus we find a set of Raga-Mala painted at Chavanda in 1605. From this set of dated paintings, one is in the collection of Shri Gopi Krishnal Kanodia (Calcutta). These paintings are in typical Mewar style and were executed by Nirsaradi. The areas influenced by the Mewar style are the whole of Udaipur, Banswara. Partapgarh, Dungarpur, Kushalgarh, and Shahpura. and Shahpura. Being the neighbours of Mewar even the Malaea, Bundi, Sirohi Schools and Godvar district of Jodhpur did adopt certain qualities of the Mewar School. Mewar played an important and a predominant role in evolving an indi vidual style in Rajasthan from the traditions of the western India School (Plate 3) the other areas also by the beginning of the 17th century developed their own. modes of expression in different styles according to their local traditions. They used bright colours, had a simple way of depicting the subject but is still full of great artistic qualities. According to Dr. Moti Chandra-The beginning of the Mewar school, at least as seen in 1605, verge on a folkstyle, in which all the expedients of careful draughtsmanship or perspective are held subservient to the Joie de Vivre of folk art', We find a lot of material of Maharana Jagat Singh I (1628-61) (Plates No. 4, 5, 6, and 7) period for study. By the middle of the 17th century the art of painting of Mewar got more sophisticated and started adopting the qualities of the Moghal school. In the period of Maharana Raj Singhji (1661-81) the statue of Srinathji was itihAsa aura purAtatva 69 :

________________ installed at Nathdwara and the Vaishnava doctrinaire of the Vallabhacharya sect spread in the area, with Krishna becoming the supreme God and the Bhagwat Puran becoming the gospel of the Vaishnavas. We find many illustrated Bhagwats in various collections which are the splendid examples of art at its zenith. The Ramayana also became popular. The Ragamala and Barah-Masa also became very common. The theme of the Barah Masa was always very romantic and depicted the departure of a hero and the heroine finds one or the other pretext to stop him from leaving the home. In this theme festivals and seasons play a very important part in favour of the heroine. The other important subject executed by the Mewar artists was the Rasikapriya of Keshvadasa. The works depict the classification of heroes and heroines, their mutual fascination, attachments, separations and reunions. Jaideva's Gita Govinda describing the love of RADHA and KRISHNA was also favourite due to the commentaries by Maharana Kumbha in Rajasthani language. The mid- 17th century paintings of Mewar have brilliant colours such as lacquered red, saffrom, yellow, brown and lapis lazuli. The same painting may have two different backgrounds depicting two different subjects divided or partitioned by a tree or any other object. The figures have prominent noses with the nose-ring projecting out and not touching the chesk of the lady. The faces are oval with fish-stylized eyes but easily recognizable, find a variety of creepers and plants. The hills and rocks are depicted very simply and generally pink or mauve in colour. Water is painted black with strokes of white to depict waves and foam at the The faces are always profile and the paintings have less perspective. The main incident has greater importance than others in the same painting. The emotion is not depicted by expression but through the colours, surroundings and gestures or persons. The artists also dainted the animals and birds found in Mewar or kept by persons in that area as pets. The night sky is dark with moon and stars where as the hot season is depicted by a golden sun, just like the emblem of Mewar rulers. People are shown wearing the round Jama with a decorated patka and a turban representing the Akbar and Jahangir period. Earlier works have the pointed or the CHAKDAR JAMAH. Women are shown with skirts which has strips or plain or with floral patterns, the bodices (cholis) and a transparent Odhnis (wimples). The black pompons and tassels are very common up to the mid-17th century on the arms and wrists. The building, domes, arches, pillars etc. are not very decorative but are simple and pleasing (Plate 8). LORD KRISHNA plays an important part as a lover or as a romantic person, he is a hero in all such subjects and also in the Ragamala and Baraha-Masa. The canvas becomes wider in scope by the middle of the 17th century and upto 1725. In later period very big size paintings were also executed. The artists painted court life depicting love-affairs, hunting expedition, processions, maffils, picnics, accidents, fights, battles, marriages in an artistic manner and present to us an 70 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana grantha

________________ appropriate commentary on the social life in Mewar. The artists adopted very simple way of depicting their subjects in the best aesthetic manner. They lacked high technical excellence if one compares it with the contemporary Mughal draughtsmanship, perspective and fine finish. They applied on the canvas glowing colours which made a painting very charming and attractive. The paintings do not appeal to the court alone but to people in general because the subjects are well known to the people and they are wells-acquainted with and love them. The period between 1652 to 1698 is a bit confusing a much dated material. is not available, even then from the style and subjects some works could be placed. in that period, for example the Gita Govinda paintings in my collection, some paintings in the Bharat Kala Bhawan collection and the Bhagavata Purana in Shri Gopi Krishna Kanodia collection In the beginning of the 18th century paintings became very popular but quality suffers at the expense of quantity. Not only the rulers of Mewar patronised art but also the Thikanadars, business communities, religious leaders and others. Now more attention was paid to the social and court life of Mewar. Amarsingh period artists executed paintings in a different manner, using less colour and more in Shah-Kalam. Even his dog, monkeys and other animals were finely painted on big size canvases. Maharana Sangramsingh II (plate 9) was very found of getting his portraits executed. The artists used large size canvases for portraits. They applied thick colours to depict different types of jewelleries and even used beatel wings to depict emeralds. The events connected with his life were also painted in large numbers, he is shown going out in procession, attending maffils and shooting wild animals. Many manuscripts too were illustrated and Written during his reign. The art continued to be patronised during Jagat Singh II period and many dated material is available in Saraswati Bhandar There was less patronage between 1762 to 1760 A.D. When Arsi came to the throne again the art of painting received patronage. He was a ruler fond of hunting (plate 18). The artists depicted grass and bushes not with the help of a brush but with a cloth pad which was filled with cotton and dipped in green colour for giving patches on the paintings (plates 11 and 12). The effect is quite fascinating and natural. The same style was continuing during Hamir's time who was not a great patron of art). Bhim Singh (1778-1828) was again a great patron of art and the atelier was probably headed by some competent artist who painted many paintings showing the Maharana returning successfully after hunts. The works are in big size and nice in colour scheme, composition and technique. Other artists of his court painted the life of Mewaris in general and have shown the Rasa in his harem with his queen (plates 13, 14, 15), We find a lot of porrtraits of Maharana Jawan Singh (1828-1834) period itihAsa aura purAtattva 71

________________ but the art now starts deteriorating in all respects, may be because a treaty was signed with British Government, and like other rulers of Rajasthan the Maharanas of Udaipur also started leaning towards the European art which was realistic and new to the Indian people. The traditional artist started losing the royal patronage, except when religious paintings were required (plate 16). The palaces started to be decorated by European works which were either Litho prints or etchings or oil paintings. These were the techniques unknown to the local artists and they felt lost themselves and could not fulfil the desire and tastes of the feudal lords which was changing rapidly with the impact of the foreign cultures, even then to earn their bread and livelihood the artists kept on painting according to the whims and wishes of the rulers. The quality suffered because they started using machine-made papers, brushes and pigments. Same was the fate of technique. Swaroop Singh and Sambhusingh were still fond of paintings which were confined only to hunting scenes and court life which continued to be painted even as late as late Maharana Bhopalsinghji's times. The artists continued to work under the royal patronage with lost traditions, till the independence was achieved in 1947, and the States were merged with the Indian Union. The retrenchment badly hit them and they were thrown out of employment, no body to sympathise with or patronise them. They adopted different professions and gave up that which they had followed and practised for centuries. Another important centre of painting was Nathdwara where many artists still continue to work. In early days the work was as good as rest of the area (plate 18) but after 1850 it adopted a commercial leaning which completely ruined the art at that place. Though the talent is still there yet there is no body to guide them about technique and other important sides of art. Only tradition subject they paint is the image of Shri Nathji, rest of their works are neither traditional mor realistic. The paintings executed at the courts of Pratapgarh, Deogarh and Shahpura slightly differ in style from what we call as Udaipur style. The artists at Pratapgarh named Kripa Ram (plate 21) was very good and always placed his seal at the back of the painting. The Jagirdars Ragho Das and Gokul Das at Deogarh were great patrons of art (plates 17, 19, & 20). The Shahpura artists painted elephants and literary painting in a very fine way.

________________ Coins of The Malavas of Rajasthan Kalyan Kumar Dasgupta, M.A., D. Phil. Department of Ancient Indian History and Culture, University of Calcutta Identical with the Malloi of the Classical accounts, the Malavas of indigenous tradition were one of the celebrated tribes of ancient India remembered in history for their stubborn resistance to Alexander the Great in the fourth century B. C. Though their opposition to the Macedonian hero failed, they elicited admiration of foreign observers for their excellent fighting qualities.1 During this period they were living in the Central Punjab, between the Chenab and the Ravi and the memory of their association with the State lingers in the name Malwa denoting the region comprised of the districts of Ferozepur and Ludhiana, the old States of Patiala, Jind, Nabha and Malerkotla, The memory of the early Punjab association is further preserved in the name of the dialect Malawai used in the region extending from Ferozepur to Bhatinda.? The tribe, however, subsequently migrated to Rajasthan most probably owing to the pressure of Greek invasions under Demetrius, Apollodotus and Menander.3 Hencerth Rajasthan became their field of activity and the Malavagana-vishaya, an expression used in a third century record seems to have been made up of a considerable portion of southeastern Rajasthan comprising parts of the old States of Udaipur, Jaipur, and Tonk and the district of Ajmer. Still later they occupied the north-west part of Central India, the region which came to be known by the nams Malava after them. In the early mediaeval period Malwa roughly denoted the region between the Gangetic Valley & and the Vindhyan mountain on the one hand and Bundelkhand and the Aravalli range on the other.5 Credit goes to the Malavas for having issued extensive coinage. And indeed, they were one of the few tribal peoples of ancient India to have issued coins. So far more than 6000 coins issued by them have been recovered, all from 1. See R. C.

________________ eastern and south-eastern Rajasthan, the noted findspots being Karkotanagar of simply Nagar (15 miles to the south-west of Uniyara and about 25 miles to the south-south-east by south of Tonk ) and Rairh (34 miles from Nagar). Of these a piece weighing only 1,7 grain and having a diameter of 2 inch constitutes 'one of the smallest coins in the world." While the majority of coins bear the tribal name (e. g. Jaya Malavana or Jayah Malavanam). on some are inscribed legends of a peculiar character, such as Bhapamyana, Mapojaya, Magajasa etc. A lead seal, discovered at Kairh and now in the Amber Museum, Rajasthan, bears the legend Malavajanapadasa, thus recalling the legend Sibijanapadasa appearing on the coins of another Rajasthan tribe, the Sibis." Generally Malava coins are of round shape, but rectangular pieces are also not uncommon. The device and symbols appearing on them are human bust (an interesting feature, since it is frequently found on Satrapal coins, rarely on tribal issues), sqatting male figure, bull, peacock, lotus flower, pinnate palm leaf, vase with or without foliage, undulating line (a prominent feature of the Rairh specimens) and 'cross and ball' or the so-called Ujjain symbol. Toe date of the Malava coinage ranges between the second century B. C. and fourth century A. D. The earliest form of the tribal name, as R. O. Douglas would have us believe, is Malaya, i. e. Malaya," which he finds on a few specimens in the collection of Nelson Wright, iviala, occurring on iviala, occurring on some other coins of the same collectlon, is regarded by Douglas as the name of a king, the founder 1.

________________ of the tribe, but it appears to have been intended to be Malaya or Malava. The legends which are generally met with on the Malava coins are Malavanam jayah1 (i. e. 'let the Malavas be victorious') and its variant Malavaganasya jayah (i. e. let the Malava-gana be victorious'). The legends are paralleled by those on the coins of the Arjunayanas and the Yaudheyas. The significance of them is understandably clear, But expressions like Bhapamyana, Gajuva, Gojaua, Gojara, Maha ( a ) raya ( ma is not clear ). Jamaha, Jamapaya, Magachha, Magaja, Magajasa, Magojaba, Majupa, Mapaka, Mapojaya, Maraja, Masapa, Pachha, Paya, Yama ( may be read backwards as Maya ) and Maraja found on a distinct group of Malava coinage (the attribution of these coins to the Malavas is not only on the basis of provenance, type and fabric, but also on the explirit occurrence of the tribal name along with one of the above-mentioned legends, infra have for a long time been a riddle to scholars. Attempts have been made by scholars to solve the riddle, though without any substantial success as yet. While Carlleyle" first discovered the Malava coins in thousands at Karkotanagar, he recognised in these legends the names of about forty Malava chiefs, Smith traces only nineteen or twenty (if Yama is read as Maya or Maya as Yama, the number will be nineteen) such names on the coins all of which he regards as of foreign origin. If these legends stand for names at all, as Carlleyle and Smith think, it is true that they sound rather un-Indian. And if they are regarded as names of foreign rulers, it is a problem, to use the words of Allane, "what invaders could have struck them. They are too late for the Hunas; in addition, out of over twenty names, not one bears any resemblance to any Saka or Huna name." Allan' further points out that these legends cannot be regarded as names of rulers 1. Malava coins, generally being small, legends on them are mostly incomplete or found in shortened form. Thus we come across Malava jaya or Malavana jaya, Sometimes Malavahna jaya is met with, which seems to be a mistake Similarly Malava java or simply Maiava appears to be a shortened form of a completes legend like Malavanam jaya. The lack of space if the obvious reason for such shortened forms. 2. For the Arjunayana coins, See CCBM, p. 121. pl. XIV, 10-11, and CCIM. p. 164, pl.

________________ since "in not one there is any trace of a genitive". According to him1 most of these legends are to be treated as "meaningless attempts to reproduce parts of Malavanam jaya" and this suggestion, he avers, "may account for so many of the legends beginning with ma and for the frequency of ma as another letter of the inscription, and indeed, for the limited number of consonants which form these inscriptions". Allan is thus disinclined to regard these legends as names, far less names of foreign rulers. The legends are, therefore, to be taken either as personal names or as attempts to reproduce a complete legend like Malavanam jaya partially. One point, however, is to be noted in this connection: the letter ma frequently occurs, as many as sixteen times, in a group of twenty legends and on eleven occasions it is initial letter. The frequency of this letter drew the attention of two Indian scho lars, Jayaswal and Bhandarkar, who discussed the meaning and significance of theslegends before the publication of Allan's Catalogue. Jayaswal, who regarded these legends as personal names, suggested that these "seem to be abbreviations-marajaMaharaja; cf. Maharaya'...Mapojaya, Mapoya and Magaja are probably Maha(Maharaja) aya, Ma (Maharaja) Paya and Ma (Maharaja Gaja. Similarly, Magajasa= Ma (Maha) Gaja (Gajasa). Gajava=Gaja-pa" etc. Bhandarkar took the letter ma as the abbreviation not of Maha or Maharaja, but of the tribal name, Malava and he interpreted the remaining letters also as contractions of words like gana, jaya, etc.; for instance ga=gana, ja=jaya, Magaja thus standing for Malava ganasya jaya. Bhandarkar thus attempted to improve upon the suggestion of Jayaswal. The smallness of the size of the Malava coins and the consequent lack of space thereon give the suggestions of Jayaswal and Bhandarkar an appearance of probability. Allan, however, objects to the view of Jayaswal on two grounds first, even if ma is taken to stand for Maharaja, the remaining letters of the legends do not offer any intelligible names and, second, there is no instance of a contraction in Indian numismatics. As to the second objection of Allan, it may be pointed out that though we have no definite instance of a contraction or abbreviation, its probability cannot be totally ignored. Allan's first argument has of course some force. Apparently unaware of Bhandarkar's suggestion, he has not referred to some of the letters, other than ma, having been interpreted as abbreviations of words 1. Ibid. 2. HP, p. 381. 3. For Bhandarkars suggestion see Annals of Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, XXIII, p. 224. 4. Loc. cit. 5. Op. cit., p. cvii. 6. Cf.

________________ like gana and jaya. In spite of it, his objection cannot be disregarded, for the ingenious method of interpretation employed by Jayaswal and improved upon by Bhandarkar fails to explain letters like chha, pa, bha and sa, on whose meaning no light has been thrown. It is, therefore, difficult to regard the legends concerned as abbreviations of complete legends like Maharaja-paya or Malavaganasya jaya. While Allan's objection to the view that these legends are not abbreviations has some weight, his own suggestion is open to criticism. It is difficult to understand how it could be possible for mint-masters to systematically make "meaningless attempts to reproduce parts of Malavana jaya (are in Malavaganasya jaya) the letters chha, pa, bha, and sa are conspicuous by their absence. The difficulty that appears as insuperable in accepting Allan's view is that there is at least one coin in the Indian Museum1 which definitely bears the name of the tribe Malava along with one of the curious expressions Majupa, thereby showing that Majupa can in no way be regarded as a meaningless attempt to reproduce parts of Avialavanam jaya. Thus we are to revert to the main suggestion offered by Carlleyle and Smith that these legends stand for names of Malava chiefs. But we differ from Smith who regards these chiefs as of foreign extraction. Apparently these names sound non-Indian, but a foreign origin cannot be established merely on the basis of names, specially when no successful attempt has been made to connect them with any foreign stock. While it has not so far been proved that they were of foreign extraction, the probability of their belonging to a non-Aryan stock may be considered. Words of non-Sanskritic origin, like the present legends, are not altogether absent in Indian numismatics. An analogous case is furnished by words like Ralimasa (or Talimata), Dojaka, Atakataka, etc. appearing on a group of negama coins found at Taxila They have been taken by scholars as proper names, either of the names of persons or of places. On this analogy, therefore, the outlandish words on Malava coins may be regarded as proper names and, as has been suggested above, they seem to be the names of Malava chiefs, probably of non-Aryan origin. NonSanskritic personal names like Magasa (Bhavishya Purana) Mankana (Mahabharata and the Puranas), Majjala (Mahabharata), etc. also tempt us to consider the legends on Malava coins as personal names. Incidentally, it will be of interest to the recent discovery of a few coins. with the legends Hamugama, Valaka, Mahu, Dasa and Sauma at Ujjayini and Vidisa. According to K. D. Bajpai these legends stand for personal names and since they sound un-Indian, like the legends on our coins, they are to be attributed to Saka chiefs ruling from 200 to 100 B. C. It is not necessary to suppose that there was a Saka infiltration on this ground. Indeed, there is no definite evidence of the Saka 1. CCIM, p. 175, no. 70. 11 itihAsa aura purAtatva : 81
Page #571
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ occupation of Malwa before the beginning of the second century A. D. Hence the theory of the Saka domination over Malwa in the second century B. C., as propounded by Bajpai, seems to be untenable. Against taking the legends on the Malava coins in question as personal names one may point out, as Allan has done, that they are without any normal genitive suffix. But actually there are definite instances of personal name in coinlegends having no genitive suffix. The Naga coinage, to which some of the Malava coins are closely related, is an illustration on the point. The non-use of the genitive sign is a feature shared by both the Malava and the Naga coinages generally unnoticed by scholars. Names like Hamuguma, Vataka, Mahu as found on coins recently discovered and noted above furnish another example of the non-use of genitive suffix. Hence there is no strong case against the view of the legends being regarded as personal names. Further, it will be an oversimplification of the chronological problem presented by these coins if they are assigned without any differentiation to one specific period, the third-fourth century A. D. Some of these coins, as we have mentioned before, are earlier than the rest. Thus there is no question of accommodating so many rulers in a limited period, a difficulty which some scholars have experienced in recent times. To sum up, the coins bearing enigmatical legends like Bhapamyana, Mapojaya, Magaja, Jamaka etc. should be attributed to Malava chiefs. Some of them such as the one bearing Yama may be placed in pre-Christian centuries, while others such as the one bearing Magojava may be assigned to the third-fourth century A.

________________ Tantric Cult In Eastern India Dr. Upendra Thakur Professor and Head of the Department of Ancient Indian and Asian Studies, Magadh University, Bodh-Gaya. BIHAR The Tantras may rightly be termed as "so many encyclopaedias of the knowledge of their time" as they deal with all matters of "common belief and interest from the doctrine of the origin of the world to the laws which govern kings and the societies... medicine and science generally. The Tantra is...the repo. sitory of esoteric belief and practices, particularly those relating to yoga and mantra-tattva". In them we find the description of the Supreme Being, the creation and destruction of the Universe, ihe classification of creatures, the origin and worship of the gods, the heavenly bodies different worlds and hells, man and hells, man and woman, cakra (centre of the human body), dharma, asramas and the sacraments, mantra, yantra (magic diagram on which to worship), various forms of spiritual training, Japa, Vrata, worship (internal and external), medicine, science and many other things. It has been argued that the Tantras are a recent Sastra and are largely the creation of the people of Eastern India which is supposed to be its stronghold. The antiquity of the Tantra has, however, been proved beyond doubt to be as ancient as the Sruti itself. In fact, not only in Eastern India, But throughout the whole of India the upper classes of Hindu community are governed by the Tantric religion as far as initiation (dika) is concerned. There are Saktas, Vaisnavas and Saivas all over the country. The Saktas are initiated by the Sakti-mantra, the Vaisnavas by the Vinnu-mantra and the Saivas by the Siva-mantra. All these mantras are the exclusive properties of the Tantra. Like Mithila, Madras, Bengal, Bombay, Kast (Banaras), Kashmir, Assam and other fuch notable places of India have Saktas, Vaisnavas and Saivas in a large number following the Tantric system. It is, therefore, absurd to argue that this system is the exclusive creation of the people of 1. Bhattacharya, Matykabheda Tantram, Intro. 3, Avalon, Principles of Tantras (Tantra-tattva) pref.

________________ Eastern India only. Sadhakas have appeared on the scene almost everywhere, and the Maithila Sadhakas and Panditas, like those of Bengal and other places, have "only prepared compendia and developed the practical side of it to a considerable extent" for the benefit of humanity at large.1 It is interesting to note that the sakti devata (the Mother-Goddess) is worshipped and reverenced and the Saktipithas (the seat of the Mother-Goddess) are established in almost all parts of India : Kamakhya is worshipped at Kamarupa; Vindhyavasini on the Vindhya hills; Yogamaya and Purnamasi at Vindavana; Annapurna, Sankata. Tripurabhairavi, sixtyfour Yoginis, Kalabhairavi, Durga, Sitala, Mangala and other Devis at Kasi; Guhyesvari in Nepal; Gayatri and Savitri in Rajputana; Lalita at Prayaga; Ugratara in Mithila (Tirhut; Jayakali in Calcutta; valamukhia and Chinnamasta in and near Jalandhar; Ksirabhavani near Kashmir and other Devis in almost all parts of India. Vimala, Sarasvati, Bhuvanesvari, Kali and Laksmi are worshipped and paid obeisance to in Utkala, the seat of Lord Jagannatha.3 To say that Raghunandana Bhattacarya of Bengal was the first to prescribe for the worship of Durga, as provided for in the Tantra, would be quite wrong and misleading, for we know that previous to him many other thinkers in Mithila, Bengal and elsewhere had done so. Vidyapati. Sridatta, Harinatha Upad hyaya, Vidyadhara, Ratnakara, Bhojadeva, Jimatavahana, Halayudha, Vacaspati Misra, Madhavacarya and even Sankaracarya had admitted the authority of the Tantra while explaining philosophical doctrines. Vacaspati Misra, the celebrated Maithila thinker and commentator on the six Darsanas, has in his commentary on the Patanjali-Darsana recommended Dhyana of Devatas as prescribed in the Tantras.4 Moreover, many well-known books written in Mithila and elsewhere, before the age of Raghunandana, contain provisions for Durga-Puja, such as the Durga-bhakti-tarangini, Samvatsarapradipa, Kalakaumudi, Jpotisanava, Smytisagara, Kalpa-taru, Ketya-masarnava, Kytyaratnakara, Kytyatattvarnava, Durgabhaktiprakasa, Kala-nirnaya, Puja-ratnakara and others pertaining to the worship of Durga and Kali.5 The Bengali practice of worshipping earthen images of Durga or Kali with great pomp and ceremony is followed all over eastern India. It is true that this practice does not receive the same favour, as in Mithila and Bengal, in other parts of India but it is also true that She is everywhere worshipped in ghatas (earthen 1. Bhattacharya, 7, Avalon. 5 ff, Also, C. S. B. Dasgupta, Obscure Religious .ults, 13ff. 2. Jvalamukhi, Candi. Tara, Kali, Durga etc. are also worshipped in Mithila at different places. (Vide-U.

________________ jars). Shrines containing her images are reverentially visited, nine-day Vratas performed, fasts duly observed and the sacred Candi read on the Mahastami day. Even now women folk bathe in the rivers or tanks early every morning for the first nine days of the bright fortnight of the month of Asvina and worship the small images of the Devi, made of clay, with all devotion. All these undoubtedly show that this practice of worshipping the Devi has been followed from times immemorial. The most peculiar characteristic of this religion is that women and Sudras are not at all prohibited from practising the Sadhana. The Rudrayamala says that a woman may also be a Guru who is a Kulina (practising Kulacara), of auspicious appearance, fair faced and lotus-eyed, endowed with intellect, calmness of mind, proficient in mantras and in their meanings, ever engaged in japa and devoted to the worrhip of her lstadevata." The Gautamiya Tantra declares that the people of all castes, irrespective of sex, may receive its mantras, In the Cakra there is no caste at all, even the lowest Candala being deemed, whilst therein, higher than the Brahmanas. The Mahanirvana Tantra' says : "That low Kaula who refuses to initiate a Candala or a Yavana into the Kaula dharma, considering them to be inferior, or a woman out of disrespect for her, goes the downward way. All two-footed beings in this world, from the vipra (Brahmana) to the inferior castes, are competent for Kulacara." This is no doubt the most revolutionary aspect of this religion which in the course of centuries attracted millions of follou ers to its fold. Another great factor that contributed to its tremendous growth and popularity is that in the Tantras, the duties of each of the castes as well as those of the king are not prescribed much differently from Manu, the great law-giver. The Mahanirvana Tantra speaks very highly of the family-life. It rigorusly prescribes that one should never be allowed to take to ascetic life who has children. wife or such like near relations to maintain. We have in the ninth chapter of the Mahanirvana Tantra (Samskaras) "sacraments from conception until marriage". entirely in consonance with Brahmanic texts. In the tenth chapter we have the direction for the disposal and the cult of the dead (Sraddha). "A peculiarity of the Saktas in conncetion with marriage consists in the fact that side by side with the Brahma marriage for which the Brahmanic prescriptions are valid, there is also a Saiva marriage, that is, a kind of marriage for a limited period which is only permitted to the members of the circle (cakra) of the initiates. But children out of such marriage are not legitimate and do not inherit.4" Thus, the Brahmanic raw also applied to the Saktas and as such the section concerning civil and criminal law 1. Ibid. 807-08 ff. 2. Cf. "Sarva varnadhikarasca narinan yogyameva ca". 3. Chap, XIV, Vs. 137 and 134. 4. Avalon, 117. It is, however, incorrect to call them illegitimate children. on the other hand, off-springs of a Brahma marriage are preferential inheritors. itihAsa aura purAtattva : 85

________________ in the eleventh and twelfth chapters of the Mahanirvana Tantra substantially agrees with Manu. The prevalent Vedic ritualism of the day was too powerless to face the new communities springing up all over the country. From the Karmakanda we have, there, to turn to Jnanakanda in the Vedic-religion which finds elaborate representation in the Upanisads. Besides the earliest ritualism of yajnas being philosophised upon in the earlier Upanisads, we find that the foundation for a new elaborate ritualism was fully laid in many of the latr Upanisads. Keeping in view the new changes, the philosophy of panica-upasana (five-fold worship viz. the worship of Siva, Devi, Sun, Ganesa and Visnu) was developed out of the mystery of Pranava ('Om') of which some features are also to be clearly seen in the Brahmanas, As a matter of fact, such upakaranas of Tantric worship as grass, leaves, water etc. seem to have been adopted from the Vedic worship along with their appropriate incantations. This may thus be regarded as the earliest configuration which Tantricism had on the eve of "these silent but mighty social upheavals through which the Aryanisation of vast and increasing multitudes of new races proceeded in pre-Buddhistic India, and which had their culmination in the eventful centuries of the Buddhistic coup-de-grace."" The great problem to be tackled was the aryanisation of this new India that was rising and surging furiously from every side against the fast-dwindling centres of the old Vedic orthodoxy struggling hard for its existence. The religious movements of the Bhagavatas, Saktas, Sauras, Saivas. Ganapatyas. Jainas and Buddhists absorbed many of the non-Aryan races and cast their life in the mould of the Vedic spiritual ideal which largely minimised the gulf existing between them and the Vedic orthodoxy, ending in their gradual amal amalgamation in the course of a few centuries Thus, the pre-Buddhistic phase of Tantric worship is a fact to be reckoned with in the early history of India much before the appearance of the Buddha. I ts foundation wrs so widely and firmly established that, notwithstanding the ceaseless cfforts, Buddhism could not dislodge it, but was in turn itself swallowed up by this Tantric worship within a short span of a few centuries. This wonderfully transformed Buddhism soon appeared on the arena in its new attractive garb as the Mahayana. The worship of Sakti was predominant throughout eastern Indi a. Like the worship of Siva, the worship of Sakti was equally widespread. There is, however, a great difference in that there is a marked paucity of legends and stories recording attainment of Siddhis by the worshippers of lord Siva whereas the stories regarding Sakta devotees attaining miraculous powers are numerous. 1. Cf. the discourse about the conception of Siva. 2. Avalon, op. cit., p. 554. 3. For other details see Ibid. 556 ff, U. Thakur op. cit, p. 37. 86 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ This is probably because Sakti was supposed to give Siddhis only, but the god who could award mukti or salvation was Lord Siva, which was certainly a higher thing. Some of the greatest saints and upasakas of Mithila, such as Devaditya, Vardhamana, Madana, Upadhyaya, Gokulanatha Upadhyaya, Maharaja Ramesvara Simha, Gananatha Upadhyaya, Laksminatha Gosain and a host of others, were associated with Sakti. Every house-hold has a Gosauni (Sakti goddess). There are still many pithas and centres of Tantricism where Sadhakas from different parts of the country come to practise Sadhana. Moreover, the first verse taught to a child is in praise of Sakti. The popularity of Aripana or Alipana (painted Yantras on the ground); the names of Maithilis and Bengalis such as Tantradhari, Tantranatha, Saktinatha, Khadgadhari, Taracarana, Adya-carana etc, the Sabara rites of women, the vogue of fish and meat eating, Paga or Tantric head-dress, the offering of sweet cooked rice in milk and the feeding of Kumaris (Virgins) known as Patari ceremony on all auspicious occasions, the widespread public worship of the earthen images of Durga in Dasahara or Vijaya-dasami, the worship of the Lingam (a veritable Tantric symbol), the Matrka Puja, the performance of NainaYogina and the prevalence of Diksa (Istamantragrahana) -all these briefly point to the great importance of the Sakti cult in the life of the people of eastern India But, all told, the fact remains that the glory and honour that the Tantras had, and received, in the time of those great Sadhakas and Maharajas Krsnacandra and Sivacandra of Bengal and Laksmisvara Simha and Ramesvara Sinha of Mithila no longer exist. This is the reason why the Tantric Sadhakas of Bengal and Mithila are not so well-known at present. This reverence for and adoration of Sakti has immensely influenced the script and literature of the land. Not only there are a large number of Tantric works written and compiled in Sanskrit, not only there are almost all writers praising. Sakti or the Primal (Adya) Energy, but the very script of eastern India has developed in accordance with Tantric Yantras. The history of this peculiar development of the Varnas has been elaborately dealt with in the Kamadhenu and the Varnoddhara Tantra 1 The anji (F) sign in the beginning of Maithili alphabet is also due to the Tantric influence, for it represents the Kundalini (Muladhara),2 Another very important result of this Tantric predominance has been the composition of popular songs of the Goddess Durga in local literature, without which no auspicious religious ceremony can ever begin. Besides a large number of songs, there is a great number of documents relating to incantations and charms which, though not fully understood now by the experts of the Mantra-Sastra, nonetheless, serve their purpose very efficaciously. 3 1.

________________ Thus, the influence of the Tantric practices has been so great upon the life of the people of eastern India, particularly Mithila, Bengal and Assam, that all their daily activities are practically dominated and governed by the principles of the Tantric religion. The Kaula and Dasa-mahavidya, however gained wide popularity in course of time. The Kaulas became the protagonists of Vamacara or Vamamarga sect and Dasa-mahavidya. Kali, Tara and Bhuvanesvari have now prominent place in the life of the people. Agama does not necessarily mean "a sacred book appealed to by Vamacarins" as opposed to Nigama of the followers of Daksinacara. Nor is the term Vamacarin itself a synonym for Kaula, for a person may be the first without being the second. In ancient times Daksinacara was more popular and widely practised. It produced great Sadhakas. But in course of time (probably about a century ago) people came to be intensely influenced by the Vamacara practices. The mode of worship in the two margas is quite different. It is true, one who follows the Vamacara attains Siddhi soon; but it is very difficult to practise it successfully and as such there is every chance of a fall in this marga. Vasistha and other Sadhakas followed Daksinaicara and were great devotees of the goddess Tarn Great Sadhakas have from time to time appeared on the scene and inspired people to practise this religion. Daksinacara was therefore, (and is atill) looked upon with high regard innumerable Sadhakas followed this path, whose life-history, full of miraculous feats and wonderful achievements, ahs now passed into legends handed down from generation to generation and is yet an object of popular study and reverence.1 Side by side with Daksinacara, Vamacara and Kaula also gained much popularity and soon gave rise to Abhicra-Karma (black magic, mummery, witchcrafts etc.) among the low classes and women. This had no doubt a dongerously demoralising effect on the morale of the common people, and it was this Karma. that largely contributed to the unpopularity of the Tantras in general and the growing hatred for the Sadhakas in particular. Indeed, the divine qualities inherent in this sect are very difficult to practise, and, therefore, in the absence of the right interpretations and understanding people took to degrading forms of debauchery. 1.

This Abhicara-karma was unfortunately the indirect result of the Arimardana Homa or Nigraha Homa i. e. "the object of punishing an enemy" fully dealt with and enumerated in the thirtyfirst chapter (Arimardana Homa) of the cele brated work Tantraraja-Tantra (The King among Tantras), edited by Sir John. Woodroffe (Arthur Avalon). verses 3-6 of this Chapter speak of certain things which should be known regarding the enemy before a Homa is begun (Ibid., pp. 94-95) 88 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana grantha

________________ under the garb of the Tantric Sadhana. The result was obvious. The divi e Tantras came to be stigmatised as a libidinous phallic necromancy. Laksmidhara, in his commentary on the thirty-first verse (loka) of Saundarya-Lahart of Sankaracarya ahs given the names of sixty-fore Tantras, i. e. Candrakala, Jyotsnavat, Kalanidhi, Kularnava, Kulesvart, Bhuvanelvart, Barhaspatya and Durvasamata, in which the Brahmanas, the Ksatriyas, the Vaisyas, the Sudras and even the mixed castes have been given equal rights to perform meditation.1 The first three are advised to attain Siddhi through Daksinacara practices and the Sudras and the mixed castes are required to undergo Sadhana through Vamacara. It is due to this liberal attitude that there has been no sect-rivalry since hoary past to the present day. One finds Saivas, Saktas and Vaisnavas living together in perfect harmony in one and the same family. Whenever fish or meat is prepared in one family the members, though belonging to the different sects, sit together in one row and take their meals ungrudgingly, the only difference being that the Vaisnavas keep away from taking fish or meat. The Brahmanas daily worship the Salagrama (Visnu) and rub Srikhandacandana and ashes (bhasma) of Siva on their forehead, arms, ears and other parts of body. Side by side with these gods, they worship Istadevi, the symbol of Sakti and also put vermillion marks on their forehead. Durga Puja is celebrated with the same zeal and vigour as Krsnastami or Janmastami and Sivaratri. All this has resulted in wonderful blending of different religious sects and perfect harmony among their followers, a feature hardly to be seen elsewhere. Even the most orthodox Brahmanas participate in Muslim religious festivals and also those of the low castes, and vice-versa. It is, therefore no exaggeration to say that in this part of the country we have the real Indian culture in all its broad aspects, still flourishing, to which the celebrated Tantric religion has made its singular contributions. 1.

________________ The Five Apabhramsa Verses Composed by Munja, the Paramara King of Malava. H. C, Bhayani Gujarat University, Ahmedabad. As an instance of the Samkirna type of the Catuspadi Dhruva used in the Apabhramsa Sandhibandha, Hemacandra has cited under Ghandonusasanal 6, 22 the following verse that illustrates an admixture of two different varieties of Catuspadi. Cudullau bahoha-jalu mayana kamcua visamathana ia Munsjim raia uuhada pamca vi kamahu parca sara 'cudullau, bahoha-jalu, nayana, kamcua and visama-thana these five Dohas, like the five arrows of the Love-god, were composed by Munja'. This verse has a unique historical importance in that it records the suthor: ship of some Doha verses composed by Vak pati Munja, the famous Paramara king of Malava, who flourished during 975-995 A. D. He enjoyed great fame in legend and history for his romance, heroism, literary talent and patronage to literature. The laudatory verse gives five Pratikas or characteristic words one from each of the five verses of Munja which had become famous among the literary circles due to their poetic excellence. It was a traditional device to record in a fool-proof manner the authorship of some isolated Muktaka-like verses. Now the problem is that of identifying the five Apabhrarnsa verses credited to Munja. Fortunately for us Hemacandra seems to have preserved them for the posterity. The cudullau-and the bahoha-jalu verse are given in the chandonusasana at the same place as the commemorative stanza noted above, i. e. under 6, 22. The cudullan verse occurs also in the Siddhahema under 8, 4, 395 with slight slight variation in the third Pada.

________________ niddaddhan sasa ndalina baha-salila-samsittan The Siddhahema has kavoli for kaoli and sasanala-jalajhalakkiau for the third Pada. The verse can be translated as follows: 'O simple girl, your bracelet, positioned as it is under your cheek will be reduced to powder, having been (first heated by fiery sighs and then sprinkled with water of your tears'. The second i. e, the bahoha-jalu verse is as follows: tain tettiu bahaha-jalu sihinaritari vi na pattu chimichimivi chimivi garidatthalili simisimivi simivi samattu Translation : Even though it was a flood of tears, it interspace her breasts it boiled up just on the cheeks sounding chimi chimi and so disappeared sounding simi-simi'. The remaining three verses are to be identified from among citations given in the Apabhranusa section of the Siddhahema. There is some uncertainty about the identification of the third i. e. the nayana-verse. Probably it is the same as the one cited under 8, 4. S14 to illustrate the use of pralva. It is as follows : amisu-jale pralva goriahe sahi uvvatta nayansara teri sampesia demti tiricchi ghatta para Translation : 'It seems that the arrows of glances of the fair damsel are deflected due to the stream of tears-hence, even though charged straight, they strike sideways'. The fourth verse, i. e. the kamcua-verse is the same as the one cited under Siddhahema 8, 4, 431. It is as follows: pahia ditthi goradi ditthi maggu niamta arususasehi kamcua timtuvvana karamta 'O wayfarer, did you meet my fair lady?' 'Oh yes, I saw her gazing at the road (of your return), and drenching and drying her blouse in turn with her tears and sighs'. Lastly, the visama-thana verse is the same as the one cited under Siddhahema 8, 4, 350 (as also under 362). It is as follows: itihAsa aura purAtattva : 91

________________ phodemti je hiadau appanau taha parai kavana ghen rakkhejjahu lovaho appana balale jaya visama thana Translation : 'Those who burst open their own heart-what compassion can they have for others ? Men, be on your guards-the breasts of the young girls have become terrific.' Apart from the evidence from the Chandonusasana, some further evidence, although indirect, is now available in support of Munja authorship of the abovequoted verses. The A pabhramsa poem Jambusamcariya was composed by Vira in V. S. 1076 ( = 1020 A. D.): Vira was connected with the places called Simdhuvarisi and Gulak heda in the Malava country, which was ruled by King Bhoja from 1010 to 1055 A, D. Bhoja was preceded by Sindhuraja (995-1010 A. D.) and the latter by Munja (975-995 A, D.) The Jamusamicariya was composed some twetyfive years after the death of Munja. Now from this work of Vira it can be seen quite clearly that not only he was familiar with important literary works of his times including the Apabhramsa works of Puspadanta (C. 930-980) and Svayambhu (end of the ninth century), but he was also intimately influenced by them. Jambusamicariya reveals numerous borrowings in ideas and words, from earlier well-known Apabhramsa, Prakrit and Sanskrit works. Thus Vira cannot but be famliar with the Apabhramsa compositions of the royal poet Manja, who was famous also for his literary patronage-so much so that later on it was extolled in such terms as gate Munje yasah-punje niralamba sarasvati',i. e. 'with the departure of the glorious Munja, the Goddesss of Learning has become a homeless wanderer. And from one passage of the Jambusamicariya we get an actual indication of the influence of Munja's Apabhramsa poems. Describing the love-lorn condition of the ladies of Rajagrha at the sight of Jambusvamin, the poet says: kahi vi virahanal sampalittu amsujalohalin kavolalkhittu pallattai hatthu karamtu sunnu damtimu cutullau cunnu eunnu kahi vl harsyanmdanarasu ramei laggamtu angle chamachamachamei (Jambusamcariya, 4, 11, 1-3). Translation : 'In the case of some lady the fire of separtion so flared up that it reduced to powder the ivory bracelet that was drenched with tears due to 1. Edited by V. P. Jain, Bharatiya Jnanapitha, Varanasi, 1968. 2. Prabandhacintamani, P. 25, line 2. 3. In this connection it is also significant that Vira has stated that he was closely associated with the state business. See Jambusamicariya, Prasasti, V. 5. 92 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

________________ its contact with the cheek, thus rendering the hand bare. The sandal paste applied to the body of some other lady emitted sizzling sounds'. These lines clearly echo the ideas and the wording of the Cudullau-verse and the bahoha-jalu-verse of Munja quoted above. Especially Cudullau and Chamachamachamei in the Jambusamicarija passage are tell-tale words, and the sequence of the two poetic images here is the same as given in the commemorative verse recorded in the Chandonusasana. It means that to both of these authorities the two Munja stanzas were known from a source where they appeared in this very order. 1 The evidence from the Jambusamicariya confirms the Chandonusasana stanza abont Munja's authorship of particular Apabhramsa verses, and it also establishes the fact that the Cudullau-verse and the bahajalu-verse were closely associated and along with some other verses of Munja they formed a close group. 1. It should be noted that the Gatha-Dhavala no. 6 (kasarekkacakkaoete.) at the Jamtusani cariya very closely resembles the Doha-Dhavala under Siddhahema 4, 5, 350 (dhanain bisurai Damiaho etc.). they also must have a common source, itihAsa aura purAtattva : 93

________________ Jainism And Vegetarianism Dr. A. N. Upadhye Vegetarianism is understood with different significations in different contexts, but, viewed in the back-ground of Jainism, it rmounts to using a strictly vegetarian diet either in the procurement or in the constitution of which no harm or injury to apparently living beings is involved directly or indirectly. It is closely linked up with ihree fundamental principles of Jainism: Ahimsa or Noninjury, Samyami or Self-control and Tapas or Austerity. Ahimsa is the basic principle on which the Jaina moral code is built. In sinple words, 'Live and let live' is the creed of Jainism. As every one of us wants to live, enjoy pleasures and escape pain, so every other living being wants to live, enjoy comforts and avoid pain, If we want to exercise our right to live, we must concede the same right to others as well. It is a simple moral law of reciprocity. Naturally man has no right to slaughter animals for his food or for his pleasure, If he does so by his superiority in the cadre of biological evolution, his action is not justifiable in any way. And if he wants to lead a life of justice and equity in society, he must have the highest respect for the entire animal world, nay the sanctity of life as such. This necessitates that he musttake to a vegetarian diet. Man is endowed with the faculty of discrimination between right and wrong, just and unjust, and fair and unfair. His superiority as man depends on his ability to exercise this faculty with the utmost sincerity. As an enlightened member of society he cannot aftord to arrogate to himself privileges and prerogatives which are not available to others. An individual cannot enjoy any rights without the responsibilities accruing from them . in fact, every respectable citizen has more duties than rights. He is expected to lead a life of self-control. Such a self-control, according to Jainism, amounts to various kinds of restrictions in the matter of foodx, in acquiring possessions, and in the enjoyment of pleasures. Moderation is the first step on the path of self-control. By observation, the Jaina teachers have concluded that animal food not only involves destruction of life but it is also stimulative to the animal passions, and every one, therefore, who wants to lead a sober, sensible and religious life should live on a vegetarian diet. Austerities of various kinds are prescribed in Jainism, and a pious Jaina is expected to observe different austerities such as fasting, eating less than one's 94 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

________________ fill, putting restrictions on the use of certain items of food, and renouncing delicacies : in fact, he is to eat to live but not live to eat. Of course these austerities are intended only for those who are sufficiently advanced on the path of religious life. This doctrine of non-injury has led the Jaina Teachers to study in detail the whole range of the animal world and to classify the various living beings under different grades according to their development ane sense-faculties. This was a practical necessity. If injury to living being is to be avoided gradually, it was necessary to study what the various living beings are and how they stand graded. Living beings fall into two broad classes, Trasa or mobile and Sthavara or immobile. Trasa beings are those which possess two, three, four and five sense-organs. Sthavara beings are those which have cnly one sense-organ, namely, that of touch, and they are of five kinds : earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, air-bodied, and vegetables. Jaina Teachers had realized long back that plants had life, and they had treated them as one-sensed beings. When the Jaina Teachers studied the animate world in such detail, complete abstinence from injury to beings, in a strict sense, was practically impossible. Naturally every individual could not avoid injury to living beings in an absolute sense. The religious devotees, according to Jainism, are broadly divided into two groups, namely, monks and householders, again with various stages in themselves. A monk observes the vow of Ahimsa in a very strict sense : in fact, he is not liable to any injury to living beings, even in their potentiality, in his diet. To put it plainly, he does not use in his food seeds which are capable of growing into plants. Thus a monk avoids all kinds of harm to livings being, both Trasa and Sthavara. The case of a house-holder is slightly different. He has social obligations and practical duties. Naturally according to his religious stage, he does his best and avoids injury to Trasa beings. It is not always possible for him to avoid injury to Sthavara beings. But even there he is ever struggling to see that he minimizes harm unto Sthavara beings. Naturally in his diet he does not use such fruits, roots and Fgreen vegetables!as contain living organisms. The above details make it abundantly clear that Jainism not only insists on strict vegetarian food, but even there those items of vegetarian stuff which involve harm unto subtle organisms are also to be avoided by a pious Jaina. Apart from its religious aspect," vegetarian food has its value in various ways. It is only a strict vegetarian that can assure himself that he is a cultured citizen who is not living at the cost of any other life in this commonwealth of animate beings. Further, the vegetarian diet is conducive to a dispassionate and balanced mind and a detached itihAsa aura purAtattva : 95

________________ and equable attitude. It is thus the baser emotions and lower instincts are sublimated resulting in nobler virtues of universal kindness, equality, and brother-hood. It is admitted by all that nowhere else, as in India, has the doctrine of Ahimsa, universal non-injury or non-violence, had so great and long continued an influence on national character. It is therefore, in the natural course of our national history and heritage that outstanding men and women of our land should adhere to vegetarianism, both in public and private, so that they might create a kindlier atmosphere round about them and prove themselves standards of high thinking and plain living. 96 : agaracanda nAhaTA abhinandana-grantha

________________ Visvamitra in the Kalpasutras Dr. Umesh Chandra Sharma, M. A., Ph. D., Senior Research Fellow, Centre of Advanced Study in Sanskrit, University of Poona, Poona-7, The Sutras, as it is quite natural, generally provide important data about the gotra and pravara system among the Visvamitras. They have devoted a considerably large portion for the Visvamitras who occupy a significant place in our national and cultural history. The SSS, however, appear to be an exception in this connection. It devotes a major portion to the legend of Sunassepa's sacrifice and the important role played by Visvamitra in it. The narration runs parallel to that of the AB. The language and the style are also the same. It is certainly a repetition from the latter except minor verbal differences here and there which are of no importance. Visvamitra officiated as a Hoty priest in the said sacrifice (where Sunassepa was offered as a victim), Jamadagni, Vasistha and Ayasya being the other prominent priests. Sunassepa could not be sacrificed partly due to good offices of Visvamitra. He adopted him as his own son and accorded to him the highest place among his sons. He was called Devarata after this and became a famous Kusika. The Satras deal in detail with the gotra and the pravara systems of the family of the Visvamitras. These are as follows 1. The Kusikas2 have three rsi-pravaras-Vaisvamitra, Daivarata and Audala, a 2. Visvamitra, Devasravas nnd Devataras-these are Sraumata--Kama 1. SSS XV. 17-57. Cf. also AB VII. 13-18. 2.

It has been prescribed in the Sutra texts that a person desiring victory over enemies should perform the rite known as 'Sajaya' of Visvamitra.10, It has been stated in the TNB (XXI. 12. 1-4) that Visvamitra performed this four-day rite, defeated his rivals with its grace and got kingdom.

One authority says that Hotr should be a descendant of Visvamitra.1 A tarpana should be made to Visvamitra after daily bath according to the VaiGS and VaiDS.2 In connection with the upakarana-visarjana, Visvamitra is prayed.$ The MiDa mentions that because a Vaisvamitra should necessarily be a Hot priest, therefore, the descendants of Bhrgu, Sunaka and Vasistha do not have the right to be appointed as Hot priests. Thus, it can be said in conclusion, that the Visvamitra family is one of the most important families of ancient India. There were several gotras and pravaras among the Visvamitras. It has been prescribed in the Kalpasitras that a descendant of Visvamitra should officiate as Hotr priest in the sacrifices. Some of the gotras and pravaras of Visvamitra pravara system are followed among the Brahmana families of the present day India also.

________________ The Quest for a Proper Perspective in Vedic Interpretation Prof. N. M. Kansara, Ahmedabad The general impression that the proper interpretation of the Vedas is fraught with innumerable difficulties has persisted since the time of Yaska--about the eighth century B. C. Yaska's Nirukta, Panini's Astadhyayi, and the Vedic commentaries of Skandasvami, Udgitha, Venkatamadhava and Sayana do help us to some extent in affording a hazy glimpse into various aspects of the teachings of the Rgveda. But the difficulty lies in the fact that there is a yawning gap of at least a thousand years between, on the one hand, the authors of the abovementioned Vedangas and, on the other hand, the original seers of the Mantras; and this has mooted the question as to whether the commentators who came much later in point of time could have grasped the original sense or flavour of the Vedas. Western Indologists have been constantly hurling this question, with renewed vigour, on our face since more than half a century. And a few indigenous supports too were quite handy for their purpose : Thus, Kautsa in Yaska's Nirukta is held to have branded the Mantras as "meaningless";i the Mundakopnisad relegated the Vedas to an inferior position in comparison to the Upanisadic lore, the Bhagavadgita was found to have thoroughly thrashed the Vedas as being mere "flowery speech" of the immature fools. And, finally, the ritualistic interpretation of the Rgveda at the hand of no less an indigenous scholar like Sayana confirmed and ultimately uprooted the possible hope of ever searching for, or discovering, any mystic or philosophical values, except a few stray and crude ideas in it. The dictum of multifarious interpretative tendency (sarvatomukha vai vedah) as inherent in the Vedas, and resorted to by the commentators to extract their own outlook or interpretation, has added to the already prevalent confusion. The rejection of the Vedas as unauthoritative by the Buddhists and the Jains since 1. Yaska's Nirukta, I, v, 15:47 : Hosti: 2.

________________ very early times has also added weight to the general outlook of the Western Indologists regarding the non-mystic, non-philosophical, matter-of-fact and worldlyand hence "healthy"-approach of the Vedas towards life, thus testifying to the primitive nature of it. Dr. Louis Renou has painstakingly tried to lay bare the "striking paradox" with regard to the Vedas in that, on the one hand, they are revered or recognised as the omniscient, infallible, eternal principle,...as the source itself of Dharma, as the authority from which arises the totality of Brahmanic disciplines, on the other hand, the philological traditions, relating to the Vedas, that form the very substance of the constituent texts, are from the very early date, weakened, if not altered or lost, even in the most orthodox domains, the reverence to the Vedas has come to be a simple "raising of the hat", in passing, to an idol by which one no longer intends to be encumbered later on.1 It is generally conceded without controversy that the text of the Rgveda and other Vedas as we possess to-day, as one that has come down to us in the uninterrupted oral tradition, has remained uncorrupted for over at least last two thousand years, thanks to the text-preservative device of eightfold Vikytis. Inspite of all these efforts of thousands of years on the part of Veda-reciters, aspersions are now being cast on the very authenticity of the uncorrupted nature of the text of the Rgveda by some Indologists who, of late, have been busy at going back to the so-called "rsi-kavi original form of the RV" on the ground of its presupposed rhythmical regularity, the present traditional oral text actually preserved and written down being only a "palimpsest's This is nothing short of an onslaught at the root of the authenticity of the notion of "uncorrupted text" which has so far been confidently accepted as "our basis...and which, even if we hold it in a few instances doubtful or defective, does not at any aate call for that often licentious labour of emendation to which some of the European classics lend themselves."4 Now, as regards the labours of many European and American scholars in unravelling the past of India, particularly the scholars like Sir Charles Wilkins, Sir William Jones, Sir Thomas Colebrooke, Friedrick Schlegel, James Prinsep, August Wilhelm Von Schlegel, Franz Bopp, Wilhelm Humboldt, Friedrick 1.

________________ Ruckert, Eugene Burnouf, Major General Alexander Cunningham, Franz Kielhorn, Hermann Jacobi, Major Seymour Sewell and many others will always be remembered by the students of Indian history with gratitude and admiration,1 But, as has been pointed out by Shri K. C. Varma and Pandit Bhagavaddatta, there was another band of scholars whose labours, though valuable in many respects, have been vitiated by political or religious or theological bias, and they were not objective in their studies hut were propagandists for the perpetuation of foreign domination of India and endeavoured to convert India to what they considered to be the "true faith", and it is rather strange that an appreciable number of Western authors who have written about India, during the last half a century or so, have been inspired mainly by the latter band. The very Boden Professorship of Sanskrit at the University of Oxford was founded by Colonel Boden with the special object of promoting the translation of the Scriptures into Sanskrit, so as "to enable his countrymen to proceed in the conversion of the natives of India to the Christian Religion" as has been specifically stated most explicitly in his Will (dated August 15, 1811). Professor H. H. Wilson, the first holder of the Boden Chair and the first noble English translator of the RV along with Sayana's commentary, wrote his book, 'The Leligions and Philosophical Systems of the Hindus', in order "to help candidates for a prize of 200/- given by John Muir, a well-known old Hailey man and great Sanskrit scholar, for the best refutation of the Hindu Religious system."4 Rudolf Roth, who jointly edited with Otto Boehtlingk, the famous St. Petersberg Sanskrit-German Thesaurus, gave out his considered belief that a conscientious European exegete may understand the Veda much more correctly and better than Sayana, and further gave his ruling as a "conscientious European", in his "search for the meaning which the poets themselves gave to their songs and phrases", that the "writings of Sayana and of other commentators must not be an authority to the exegete, but merely one of the means of which he has to avail himself in accomplishment of his task..." The concrete result of the labours of this scholar was the Sanskrit Worterbuch that has been held to this day as one of the most authoritative basis of modern Vedic exegesis. 1. K.

________________ Now, as has been explicitly testified by Theodor Goldstucker, with regard to this Sanskrit Worterbuch, no other work has come before the public with such unmeasured pretension of scholarship and critical ingenuity as this Worter. buch, and which has, at the same time, laid itself open to such serious reproaches of the profoundest grammatical ignorance. And further, Goldstucker considers his duty to do so when he exposes Dr. Boethlingk to have been a Sanskrit scholar "incapable of understanding even easy rules of Panini, much less those of Katyayana, and still ..capable of making use of them in the understanding of classical texts."2 And the real worth of the magnum opus of both these scholars has been brought out by Goldstucker int hese words : "It is one of my most serious reproaches against the Sanskrit Worterbuch, that it not only creates its own meanings, and by applying them to the most important documents of the literature, practically falsifies antiquity itself, but deliberately, and nearly constantly, supresses all the information we may derive from the native commentaries.... Yet while the reader may peruse their Dictionary page after page, sheet after sheet, without discovering a trace of these celebrated Vaidika commentaries, while the exceptions to this rule are so rare as to become almost equal to zero, Professor Weber dares to speculate on the credulity of the public in telling that this Dictionary ALWAYS quotes the native exegesis !"' Roth was supported by a self-opinionated American scholar, William Dwight Whitney, who stated that the "principles of the German School are the only ones which can ever guide us to a true understanding of the Veda." And this method consisted of "the road which is prescribed by philology : to elicit the sense of the texts by putting together all the passages which are kindred either in regard to their words or their sense" and guess the sense of a word by "having before them ten or twenty other passages in which the same word recurs." Goldstucker has called the bluff of Roth's claim by pointing out to the fact that there are many instances in which a Vaidika word does not occur twenty or ten, nor yet five or four, times in the Sanhitas; how does Roth, then, muster his ten or twenty passages, when, nevertheless, he rejects the interpretation of Sayana. One wonders how Madhava-Sayana. one of the profoundest scholars of India, the exegete of all the three Vedas and of the most important Brahmanas and a Kalpa work, the renowned Mimansist, the great grammarian who wrote the learned commentary on the Sanskrit radicals had not the proficiency of combining in his mind or otherwise those ten or twenty passages of his own Veda, which Professor Roth 1.

________________ has the powerful advantage of bringing together by means of his little memoranda : 1 Even the much-extolled Max Muller himself was, unfortunately, a bigoted and dogmatic Christian? as would be testified by some of his fulminations which make interesting reading as examples of a distorted judgment : (a) "History seems to teach that the whole human race required gradual education before, in fullness of time, it could be admitted to the truths of Christianity's (b) "A large number of Vedic hymns are childish in the extreme : tedious, low, commonplace."'4 (c) "The ancient religion of India is doomed and if Christianity does no, step in, whose fault will it be?"5 Sir Monier-Williams, the successor of Professor H. H. Wilson to the Boden Chair at Oxford and the author of the Sanskrit-English and English-Sanskrit Dictionaries, minces no words when, in his defence against personal criticism to which he had for many years been content to acquiesce without comment, declares by way of an explanation in the following words: "I have made it the chief aim of my professional life to provide facilities for the translation of our sacred Scriptures into Sanskrit, and for the promotion ot a better knowledge of the religions and customs of India, as the best key to a knowledge of the religious needs of our great Eastern Dependency. My very first public lecture delivered after my election in 1860 was on 'The Study of Sanskrit in relation to Missionary Work in India' (published in 1861)."'8 Not only that, he has further expressed his cherished aspirations as follows: "When the walls of the mighty fortress of Brahmanism are encircled, undermined, and finally stormed by the soldiers of the Cross, the victory of Christianity must be signal and complete."7 1.

________________ Even Winternitz is not free from the theological bias, when he upholds the sublimity of the poetry of the Old Testament and fails to allude to the sublimity of the Bhagavadgita or the Nasa diya-sukta, 1 the latter being, in contrast, adjudged by no less a historian than Will Durant as the loftiest poem, and which Zenaide A. Ragozin finds "reaching the uttermost bounds of philosophical abstractions .... never obscure, unless to the absolutely uninitiated." As a net result of this combined and organized conspiracy of the past few generations of European Indologists in the direction of undermining the supreme sanctity of fundamental Scriptures of ancient Indian religion, the hymns of the Rgveda are nowadays almost readily accepted by educated Indians and most of the modern Sanskrit scholars to be nothing more than the sacrificial composition of a primitive and still barbarous race, written around a system of ceremonial and propitiatory rites, addressed to personified Powers of Nature and replete with a confused mass of half-formed myths and crude astronomical allegories yet in making; and that it is in the later hymns that the first appearance of deeper psychological and moral ideas are perceived, which, some think, are borrowed from the hostile Dravidians, identified with "robbers" and "Veda-haters" freely cursed in the hymns themselves. 4 As has been very succinctly put by Shri T. V. Kapali Sastry, Europe, inspite of the scrupulous care associated with all scholarly labours that it brought to bear upon its Vedic studies, could not escape the limitations of its temperamental mould which is in fact diametrically opposed to the Indian spirit; it surmounted the difficulties in understanding the texts by partly drawing upon conjectures and; partly on certain inexact sciences, very often conjectural-comparative philology comparative mythology or comparative religion.5 Indian students and seekers of knowledge of the Vedas especially in the last century followed the lines of European scholarship and swallowed as gospel-truth European opinion because it had gained in prestige by its association in their minds with European science and culture which is a different matter altogether, estimable indeed, based as they are on different firmer grounds. Now, there is no reason why we should continue to repeat the same song of the nineteenth century Europe, be it the theory of imaginary migration of imaginary Indo-European race, the fancifully "reconstructed" IndoEuropean language, the imaginary chronology and consequent relative contemporaneity of the Rgveda in relation to Avesta and Ancient Greek of Homer, the pre 1.

________________ Vedic chronological position of the Indus Valley civilization and also the Hittite one, and above all the unquestionable air of authority of St. Petersberg SanskritGermam Worterbuch, the compilers of which last have been called the "Saturnalia of Sanskrit Philology" by Goldstucker.1 The religious prejudices of these scholars have been passed down to the last few generations of Indian Indology as "scientific and hence "impartial" to such an extent that a modern critical Indologist like J. Gonda observes with astonishment : "It is indeed somewhat strange that scholars should have acquiesced for nearly a century in translation and interpretative method of Rudolf Roth and Hermann Grassman".2 It is for these reasons that a penetrating fresh inquiry into, and thorough revision of the opinions among scholars about the Vedic culture and Vedic worship is a desideratum, especially when times and conditions have changed; new facts and evidences have accumulated, modern sociologists have revised their oldworld opinions of past generations of scholars in regard to human origins, the history, polity, psychology, religion and life in general of at least some of the early races and peoples whom we call primitive.3 What, then, is the way out? Are we to continue to take the tradition about this most ancient sacred Scripture of India, the aegveda, as the repository of the mystic wisdom of ancient seers of remote age, to be a big hoax carefully perpetuated for thousands of years ? Are we to rely upon the "impartiality" and "authoritative" scholarship of the generations of European scholars of last one century in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary recorded by themselves in their own works and memoirs ? The choice is too clear to be elaborated further. As has been aptly put by Shri G. K. Pillai, slightly in a different context, prejudi. ces and preconceived notions should be given up, and one should approach the shrine of truth with the object of finding out the truth. What, then, are going to be our tools? The question is not so baffling as might have been a century ago. Hundreds of scholars both Indian and non-Indian have contributed their mite to the study of the Vedas and have fashioned fresh tools in the forms of publication of a highly correct edition of the Rgveda, of the commentaries of Sayana, Venkatama dhava, Udgitha, Skandasvamin and Dayananda Sarasvati, of the completely revised and fully exhaustive indices and concordance of the whole range of Vedic literature right from the Samhitas to the Vedangas, of the studies of various Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanisads, of the critical studies of various aspects of Vedic thought by scholars like Anand Coomaraswamy, Shri Aurobindo, Shri V.

C. Varadachari, Dr. T. G. Mainkar and a host of others. All the help that can be requisitioned from the text-critical, exegetical, literary, linguistic, grammatical. lexicographical, historical, sociological, psychological and parapsychological studies of the ancient world should be most welcome, without, of course, losing the sight of the essentially mystic nature of the language and thought-content of the text, which should no longer be regarded as being a mere oldest linguistic record of primitive Indo-Aryans. At the same time the ancient interpretative traditions of the Brahmanas. Aranyakas and Upanisads, of the Nighantus, the Pratisakhyas, the Niruktas, the Paoinian and other contemporary ancient schools of Sanskrit Grammar, should also be given due weight in view of their comparative chronological vicinity to the Vedas. The Brahmanas need no longer be mere "twaddles", since, on the contrary, they are now known to have preserved for us the proofs of living mystic tradition in continuity of the Vedas and afford a glimpse into the mystic background of the eternal sacrifice in Nature and its relation to the sacrificial ritual, and held a key to the Adhidaivika and the Adhyatmika aspects of Vedic mysticism. And Yaska's Nirvacanas need no longer be the damned "fantastic, arbitrary and almost lawless" etymologies2 in view of the fact that Yaska never intended to attempt at "deriving" the same obscure Vedic words from alternative strange roots and thus exhibit his uncertainty and ignorance; he rather tried to indicate the different shades of the meaning of the word in question by giving the corresponding equivalent sense-roots prevalent in his own day and thus supplement the vedic exegesis at a point where the contemporary Vyakarana had exhausted its efforts.And Panini, with all his minute details about the Vedic idiom, grammar and accent, can help the Vedic interpreter of the RV to a great extent, as has been duly demonstrated by scholars like Dayananda Sarasvati, Goldstticker, Paul Theime, Dr. Vishvobandhu, Dr. S. S. Bhave and others. After all the path is now no longer so obscure if we settle to the task with proper perspective and always keep in mind the fact that we have in the hymns of the RV not merely prayers for worldly benefits, but rather "the riches of occult and spiritual truths, treasured hidden by the coverings of symbolic imagery deviced for the double values by the ancient mystics of the Rgveda,"4 SIVAH SANTU SATAM PANTHANAH : 1.

________________ 8th Century Documents on Means of Earning Money Prof. Prem Suman Jain Shree Jain Post Graduate College, Bikaner In ancient India though the chief source of Earning money was the buying and selling of goods, yet many other ways, right or wrong, were employed to earn it. Some of these means, which yielded good and quick returns, were ignoble, others, which were considered noble, yielded limited returns. Udyotana suri has mentioned both these types of means in his work Kuvalaya malakaha (779 A. D.). Ignoble Means When Mayaditya and Sthanu thought of earning money, the question was how to earn it. Without money, Dharma and Kama can not be achieved'i them Mayaditya suggested 'Friend, if it is so, let us move on to Varanasi. There we shall gamble, break into the houses, snatch the ear-rings, loot the passengers, pick the pockets, indulge in jugglery and cheat the people. In other words we would do every thing by which we can earn money.2 Sthanu was sorry to hear all this and he dubbed these means as ignoble as they were against gentlemanliness. --( Hoe Mahanto doso 57.23). Besides these means, earning money by selling creatures and animals was also regarded as ignoble in this work 8 The above means of earning money were prohibited by Jain writers on account of non-violent principles. In Dharmabindu and Upamitibhava-prapancakatha, the use of these means is prohibited. 4 Respectable Vocations On being asked by Mayaditya, Sthanu described following noble means 1.

________________ which have also been sanctioned by the rishis. 1. Going from one place to another (Disi gamanam) There are many references to this means in the work. Mayaditya, Dhanadev, Sagardatta etc. The sons of merchants, have earned money by going to other countries. The reference to the assemblage of merchants of eighteen countries at one place points to first fact (152.24). In contemporary literature one comes across many references of this kinds. 1 To go to other countries for business purposes was profitable from many points of view. A man could carry on business whole-heartedly and fearlessly living away from the cares and worries of the home. One could attract the people there by his way of living and the main thing was that a man could earn a lot by selling the home-made goods at other places at fancy prices and buying the goods of those places at cheap prices and selling them in his own country at high prices. Apart from this a man gathered a lot of experience of inter-state trade guilds. Young merchants got an opportunity to earn money by their own efforts for which they always remained eager. -(apnam apuvvam attham Khar Kmi bahu-balenam 65.10). -(Risihim eyam pura bhaniyam-57-23). 2. Partnership (Hoe mittakaranam ca) To do business in partnership has many advantages. First, one does not feel any danger in the journey. Secondly, if there was loss. it was shared. Thirdly, one could get advantage out of mutual common sense and business-skill. In Kuvalayamalakaha Mayaditya and Sthanu went out together as partners and they earned a lot of money (57-28). Dhandeva and, Bhadrasreshthi were also partners (66.33). Sagardatta had carried on business in a foreign country by entering into partnership with a merchant there (105-23). In the business field partnership was one of the common practices.2 Whereas, on the one hand, partnership had its advantages, sometimes it was also disadvantageous. If the partner was not honest, one had to bear loss. Out of greed, Mayaditya had thrown his partner Sthanu into the well (61.15.19). Dhandev had also pushed Bhadrashreshthi into the deep sea (57.20). They did it so that they may not have to give their share and get the whole of it themselves. 1. jAtaka (1,404, 2:30, 3126) samarAiccakahA, tilakamaMjarI, pp. and see for detail S. K.

________________ There are many references to such dishonest partners in contemporary literature. 1 3. Pleasing the king (Naravar seva) Pleasing the king is absolutely essential every-where for earning money. Whenever any merchant reached the state of the king with his caravan, he waited on the king with valuable presents and sought permission to do business in his territory. As soon as Dhandeva landed in Ratnadeep, he took the presents, met the king and pleased him by his offerings. It is clear that the permission of a king was essential for carrying on business in his state. 4. Skill in weights and measures (kusalattanam ca manappamane su) The two terms-kusalattanam ca manappamanesu' mean that it is very necessary to have skill in judging the goods, Only a skilful merchant can judge the worth or worthlessness of various goods. Profits can be earned only when a merchant purchases pure goods. Dhandeva's father hinted that it is very difficult to judge the quality of goods unless one has sufficient proficiency in it. --Duppariyallam bhandam 65.15). 5. Alchemy (Dhauvvao) The art of making artificial gold from metals by various chemicals was also a source of earning money. In the eighth century 'Dhatuvada' was current and had been developed as an art. Udyotanasuri has given a detailed description of Dhatuvada in his work, being practised in a secluded part of the Vindhya forest-(p. 195). It is said that the assembled Dhatuvadins or alchemists (Kemiyagara) were failing in their attempt. Prince Kuvalayachandra tried his own knowledge and succeeded in the making of gold. It appears that one of the epithets of the Dhatavadins was Narendra, meaning a master of charms or antidotes. The word is also used in this sense in classical Sanskrit literature. Dhatuvada is also called Narendra-Kala 197.16).4 6. Worship of the deity (Devayagahan) While going on a journey to earn money, many ceremonials were performed. The favourable deities were worshipped. Worship of different means of deities was considered auespicious for different means of earning money. While going on their round thieves worshipped Kharpat, Mahakala. Katyayani etc.5 1. This had become a literary motif as appears from Jayasi describing a similar situation of a storm and ship-wreck brought about by a Raksasa (Partner) 'A cultara note'-in Introduction to Kuv. by Dr. N.

________________ While going to a foreign country, merchants worshipped the sea-god (Poiana samudda devam 105.32) and remembered other favourable deities (Sumarijjanti itha devae, 67.2). Sagaradatta had worshipped Indra, Dharnendra, Dhanak and Dhanpal for earning money by means of mining.1 7. Sea Voyage (Sayar-Taranam) In ancient India there were two chief trades-local trade and foreign trade. For foreign trade one had to go beyond the seas. So sea-faring was considered essential for earning money. Sea voyage was particularly profitable because goods of one's own country could be sold in other countries at high rates and gold could be brought from beyond the seas into one's country, a In Kuvalayamala. kaha there are many references to sea-voyage (67.30, 89.8, 105.31 etc.), which have been detailed by Dr. Buddha Prakash in his article recently Though one could earn handsome profits by going across the seas one also faced many difficulties such as risking one's life. 8. Digging of the Rohanparvata (Rohanammi khananam) It was believed that Rohanparvata is situated in the a boys of inferno and was made of gold. People go there and bring gold by digging and thus become rich. There are two references in Kuvalayamala where a description has been given. about the Rohan Khanan, Sagardatta, on leaving home because of insults, thinks over the means of earning money sitting in a garden of Jaishrinagari. Whether he should go beyond the sea infested by crocodiles or should dig up the Rohanparvata situated in the inferno, The other reference is that when the poor young merchant of Champanagari were not able to earn money by other means they reached somehow other, the Rohan deep. Hearing its name their joy knows no bounds and they think that in this deep, when even the unlucky (impious) get wealth, why should not we get gems by digging the Rohandeep. 6 From the above it is clear that Rohankhanana was the last means af earning money. Only a man who was not able to earn money by any other means thought of Rohankhanana and get money from there. It appears that this particular means. of earning money was the symbolic of labour. It meant that just as it is very 1. Namo iMdassa, Namo dharINaMdassa, Namo ghaNayAlassa, Kuv 104.31. 2. samarAiccakahA VI Bhava. 3.

________________ difficult to bring gold from the inferno, so an unsuccessful merchant can get success by working hard again and again. 9. Other means . Besides the above means of earning money, many others have been detailed in Kuvalayamala. The two young merchants of Champa have been shown to be using the following means which have not come earlier 9. Agriculture (kisi karisanammi) 10. Loading of animals (Aroviya goni bhariyalla) 11. Slavery (Para gehe acchhik Samadhatta) 12. Begging (Bhikkam bhamanti) 13. Service (Dejjasu Amham Vitti) 14. Soldiery (lagga olaggium) 15, Using of Occult Powers (Anjana-jogesu) 15. Bilapravesh (Vilammi Pavisanti) 17. Mantra siddhi (Mantam gahiuna) 18. Exchange (Thora-Kammam) 19. Wrestling (Mallattanam) 20. Mining (Khannavae ; 104.20-31) Often, even inspite of adopting these means, one could not earn money as he desired and faced disappointment. Hence he had no alternative but to seek solace in religion. For this purpose he construed the various means of earning money in a religious and moral sense. For example Trade--Control the shop of body by the shop keeper of heart and buy and sell the goods of virtue. In this way one will earn the profit of happiness. 2 Begging --If you have to beg then have the bowl of trust, put on the loin cloth of control and hang the sling of wisdom deed go about the houses of teachers, you will get the alms of knowledge.2 etc. In the opinion of Udyotanasuri all the above means are connected with violence in some form or another. Therefore, a man can not get release from this world by using them. Even then there are many worldly people who earn money by these means in order to support their families.3 Udyotana does not 1.

________________ approve of these means because of the violent overtones found in them. He wanted that the people should do religious deeds by which they could achieve permanent bliss (192.24). From the above description of the means of earning money as described by Udyotana it is clear that various means were used in ancient I ndia to earn money, chief among which were trade, agriculture, sea-voyage, arts and crafts. Mining was also in vogue. In this connection an important point to note is that in the society of the period the division of labour was not rigid on the basis of caste. A merchant could adopt any type of profession. 1 Local and foreign all sorts of trades were current. Even at that time Varanasi was a centre of attraction for pilgrims, tourists and merchants. Because of the jostling crowds frauds such as looting and cheating were practised. 1.

________________ The Problem of 'Apadha in the Rgveda Dr. Smt. Y. S. Shah Ahmedabad Interpretation of Vedic hymns in general and of individual words in particular, has been a knotty problem right from the day of Yaska and not all the ingenuities of the commentators of the Rgveda and scholarly labours of the Western and Eastern Orientalists have been able to unveil the mystery about a number of obscure Vedic words. One of them is the Vedic word 'Apadha' in the RV. II, 12, 3. The word occurs in the second quarter of the above Rk which is as follows: yo gA udAjadapadhA valasya / Yo'ga' Udajad apadha valasya. The Pada text traditionally handed down to this day runs thus : 4: TI: I Bars&TITI 3TT SETT | COEU Sayana interprets this quarter in the following manner :yazca valasya valanAmakasyAsurasyApadhA tatkartRkAnniruddhA gA udAjat niragamayat / Here in his rendering of 29EUR faal:, he unwittingly reveals that the ultimate sense is 'imprisoned' and the word is an adjective of Te:. But while grammatically analysing, he seems to derive it from the root 3+ to which the termination 375 is applied in the impersonal sense. The word thus becomes 2719 3 is added. Thus it is supposed to be the ablative singular. Venkata Madhava too renders the word as fast atfefeat: and takes it as an adjective of gAH, which he renders as pazUn. Western scholars have created more confusion in trying to identify the exact grammatical form. Thus Roth takes it to be the instrumental of 379 + ET Ludmiga suggests that this word is instrumental in sense and we must take it to mean wedge or key (quasi reserator). Hillebrandt3 thinks that fe is a locative from 37f8. Grassman4 translates it 1. Sanskrit-Wor, St Pt, 1855, p. 282 2. Peterson, Hymns from the Rigveda, Second Selection, Notes, p. 116 3.

________________ as 'a hiding place'. Griffithi translates it as 'from the cave'. Peterson remarks that this word is a Vedic locative of the same kind as 'guha' in the next verse and translates it as 'cave': Zimmerman translates it as 'from the enclosure'. He compares it with II, 14, 3 ; UT TI SITT E qua: Macdonell4 also translates it as 'by the unclosing', 'On the basis of feminine forms, he remarks that it can only be the instrumental singular of Apadha'. He takes 'Valasya' as objective genitive i.e. by opening (the cave of ) Vala. Velankar seems to follow Roth when he takes 'Apadha' as instrumental singular of Apadha on the analogy of ekayA pratidhA-pratidhAnena in Vill; 77, 1, Sayana took it as irregularity for the ablative, by goi agt 441 34: Durga,? the commentator on Nirukta explains the form by 3194199 as meaning 369a by the enclosing. As has been seen above, Venkata Madhavas too while explaining it as fargefafgar: has indicated indirectly to the feminine base with 'a' ending. It seems that 379er is really 3T99T: accusative plural of 31491, feminine form from apa + dha by applying the affix 'an' in accordance with the Paninian rule III, 3, 106. An analogous case it that of the word fags occurring in the form of fagur in R V, X, 73, 11 : vayaH suparNA upa sedurinduM priyamedhA RSayo nAdhamAnAH / apa dhvAntabhRNu hi pUdhi cakSu'-mumugdhya_ 'smAn nidhayeva baddhAna / / The word far is found in the Naigamakanda of the fourth chapter of Nirukta. Mukund Jha Bakshi in his notes on Nirukta explains nidhA as "Atazcopasarga" sfa ( 91. 309.87EUR) # TETA 3 ( 41. 3.3.808) ar Erfa fafa yafai This supports our thesis about the nature of the form of 299.

________________ Now the Padapathakara has noticed the form as ar without the final 'Visarga'. Can it not be possible that in the Samhita-Patha, there was elision of of original visarga of aqu:, the originally intended form and anyhow the author of Padapatha missed it? There are many instances in which the older authors of Padapathas differed from one another in splitting Samhita text into its component padas. This has been adduced to by Yaska himself. Thus Yaska takes note of difference of opinion. of various authors of Padapatha with regard to the word afterzAkalyAtreyaprabhUtivagRhItam pUrvanirvacanAbhiprAyeNa gArgyaprabhRtibhiravagRhItamiti tadeva kAraNam, vicitrA: padakArANAmabhiprAyAH kvacidupasargaviSaye'pi nAvagRha, ganti yathA zAkalyena "adhIvAsam" iti nAvagRhItam, AtreyeNa tu "avizvAsam ityvgRhiitm| tasmAdavagraho'navagrahaH / / ' Similarly with regard to the word way in R V I, 105, 18, Yaska takes it as an Upapada compound and hence as one word, thus: mAsakRt mAsAnAM cArdhabhAsAnAM ca kartA bhavati candramAH / / But Sakalya splits the word into two padas, as at FT 15 Thus this possibility of the presence of originally existent but morpho phonemically elided Visarga sets at rest all the unnecessary efforts of the traditional commentators and modern orientalists. 1.

________________ SIBIKA-VAKRAVAMSA-LAKSANAM : A Method to Grow Crooked Bamboos for Palanquin Beams K. V. Sarma Curator, Vishveshvaranand Institute, Hoshiarpur. The Sibika (palanquin) has been popular in India from early times as a mode of conveyance for the royalty and the upper strata of the society. Its use in temple festivals as a vahana (carrier) to take the image of the deity in procession along the outer corridors of shrines and through the city for public worship is also popularly known, especially in South India. The Mayamata, is, perhaps, the earliest text on Indian architecture to give a detailed description of the Sibika in its three types, viz., Pithi, Sikhari and Maundi, and also enunciate the measurements for their construction. Ther is a parallel description also in the Paddhti Isanasivagurudeva. 3 The basic structure of the Sibika is succinctly indicated thus in the Visvakarma-vastusastra, in the context of the description of Vahanas to be used in temple festivals (ch. 8+: Kalpavyksadivahanalaksanakramakathanam) : zibikAM mAnavairdhAryA peTikAkArasaMyutAm // 18 // atha pAzrvAvaraNakInAM veNbAdidaNDakAm / bhUtezo vA vRSo nAnAlakriyAmaNDito mtH||19 The commentary on this passage by Anantakrsna Bhattaraka is elucidative and might be extracted here : atha zibikAlakSaNamAha-zibikAmiti, vividharUpaM zibikAlakSaNaM tu purobhAge pazcAdbhAge dRr3ha saMyojitamAdhAradaNDaM mAnavabhaTaskandhairdhAyaM prakalpayet, tAdRzAdhAradaNDastu veNukRto vA vaTakRto vA sokaryadAyIti samayaH / evaM mAnavaskandhabAhyAdhAradaNDasahitasya zibikAkhyasya vAhanasya nirmANaM tu peTikArUpaM 1.

The seat is placed inside the box and the whole structure is carried on the shoulders of one or more persons at each end. Now, the palanquin with the arched beam rising majestically in a steep curve over the box and with the two extending ends too slightly inclined upwards is artistically superior to one with just a horizontal beam. It is dfficult to prepare curved beams of wood or procure naturally curved beams of wood of sufficient length. In practice, the bamboo is used exclusively for the purpose. The required bends are often made in the bamboo by the application, at the appropriate places, of strong hear when the bamboo is yet green and has not become dry and stiff. Naturally, the bamboo gets charred and injured, to some extent, in the process. An ingenious method has been developed to solve the problem, viz., to grow bamboos with the necessary curves, of appropriate measures, at the required places, The short text, Sibika-vakravamia-laksanam, edited here enunciates a method to grow crooked bamboos. The method primarily consists of driving in appropriately curved iron structures on the sides of the bamboo plantling and making the bamboo through the said structure. Directions are given towards controlling its growth, so that, ultimately, a bamboo with bends and curves at the right places and in the right measures is produced. The work is preserved in a single manuscript, being No. 1133 belonging to the collection of Sanskrit manuscripts of the Palace Library, Trivandrum, now deposited in the Kerala University Oriental Research Institute and Manuscripts Library, Trivandrum. It is in palm leaf, in four folios, written in Malayalam script. The manuscript is well preserved and the writing is generally free from errors, 1.

Thus in the present content Narayana and Siri stand for Laksmana and Rama. It is quite clear that he has entirely misunderstood the whole point. Here Vimala Suri points only to the trustworthiness of the source of his Paumacariya. His statement that Svayambhu pays? homage first to vimalasUri (as an ancient poet) and then to raviSeNa is open to doubt. The name fasafe is nowhere mentioned in the passage concerned.
