________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Glimpses of Women in the Satavahana and Vakataka Period Ajay Mitra Shastri* (I) Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir Introductory The period of Satavahana and Vakataka rule in the Deccan and South India was formative in nature which shaped the life and destinies of the people for several centuries from the end of the first century B.C. to around the beginning of the sixth century A.D. It was this time-span during which the foundations of the regional specialities now prevailing in this vast area were laid. Unfortunately we don't possess enough sources to enlighten us about contemporary socio-economic life to the extent we wish. The only sources of our information are numerous long and short donative records and the well-known Prakrit anthology Gaha-satta-sai traditionally believed to have been compiled by the Satavahana monarch Hala out of a crore of stanzas submitted by renowned poets and poetesses. Although the latter text received several later accretions and it is not possible to speak of the period of its composition as a work, we may be reasonably sure that it substantially represents the early centuries of the Christian era. And its geographical setting shows that the situations reflected in it refer to the Deccan, south of the Narmada. What is most pertinent to the present context is that by and large it deals with the life of the commonality in its varied facets. These afford interesting glimpses of some of the interesting aspects of the life of the fair sex of different strata of society which is rare in the extreme and there are just a few exceptions like it. ( II ) Royal Ladies Satavahana Phase We learn from the large though highly mutilated inscription of the Satavahana king Vedisri and some silver and base metal coins about a magnanimous lady named Nagavaradayini or Nag(y)anika3 who appears to have been the chief queen1 of the third Andhra-Satavahana king Satakarni. Though the inscription is much damaged and in the preserved portion we don't find mention of their mutual relationship, it is apparent from their placement together in the family's pratima-griha (statue-gallery) in the Naneghat pass near Junnar in the Pune district and their mention together on some of their silver, copper and potin coins.' It would follow from these that the mutual * Retd.

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir relations between the royal couple were one of the best that can be imagined and that Naganika enjoyed considerable political authority and influence. In fact, the nature of their mention in the coin-legends is enough to indicate that at the time they were issued both were rulers with equal power and rank: there is no fixed order of mentioning the two, and they are found not unoften exchanging position. We may, therefore, conclude that in his old age king Satakarni was unable to fun the government by himself, perhaps owing to disabilities resulting from old age or some serious ailment and that queen Naganika had to look after his administrative responsibilities. And she claimed or was given due credit for it by being treated as a joint ruler. Not only this, she had most probably to look after the kingdom after the passing away of her husband on behalf of her elder (perhaps eldest) son Vedisri who was then a minor and it must have been for quite a few years. And as such she exercised quite a good deal of political power and respect of the courtiers. And after Vedisri grew major and became king, she naturally commanded high spontaneous respect from officials, evidently because she had played a highly important part in preserving the throne against all odds for the minor son who was now the reigning king and certainly had the highest love and regards for his mother who must have now been quite old. And when she died, her grateful son had her statue together with that of his father installed in the family's statue-gallery at Naneghat. What is even more puzzling and interesting is that Vedisri in this case gave a good bye to the age-old Indian convention which enjoined for wife a place to her husband's left, which is enough to show the great importance attached to her during the rule of her son Vedisri. This was in first century B.C.-A.D. as, according to our chronological scheme Satakarni ruled in c. 10 B.C.-c. 45 A.D. Shortly afterwards there was another lady of equal grit and political grip. She was Balasri of the Gautama gotra and consequently styled Gautami, the full name in common parlance being a combination of both these, viz. Gautami Balasri. She was the mother of the great Satakarni, the name being preceded by the metronymic Gautamiputra ("son of Gautami'). The measure of the great importance attached to her by the composers of the dynastic sections (vamsanucharita) of the Puranas is transparent enough from the fact that in this section he is referred to only as Gautamiputra, and not as Satakarni which was his personal name. In fact, it is noteworthy that he is the first chronologically among the known bearers of a metronymic among the Satavahanas. She had a very high position and status and her son and grandson both were anxious to do everything to earn her favour and keep her pleased and happy. Her son made the grant to the Buddhist monks living in Cave III' at Nasik of a field from his own estate (rajaka kheta) in exchange for one granted earlier when it was found that the latter was uncultivable (fellow) and the (214104: Bus2142, 2000-H3, 2004 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir village where in or close to which it was located was deserted." As stated in his latest known record (year 24), the grant was made at the behest (vachana) of his mother (raja-mata) who is described as chief queen (Mahadevi) with her son living (jivasuta). This cave was in fact excavated by her and took at least twenty years for its completion as we learn from another record belonging to the year 19 of the reign of her grandson Vasishthiputra Pulumavi.! When this cave meant for the monks of the Bhadrayaniya sect of the Theravada school was completed, the reigning king Vasishthiputra Pulumavi gave away a village for its finishing and decoration with painting, (chitananimita) with the object of serving and pleasing his grandmother. She is again described as the wife of a saintly king (rajarshi-vadhu), chief queen (mahadevi) and as the mother of a maharaja (maharaja-mata) and grandmother of another maharaja (maharaja-pitamahi). Another inscription of this king speaks of this cave as the 'Queen's Cave' (devi-lena).'+ It is not unlikely that during the critical times when a major portion of the Satavahana territory in Maharashtra was under the occupation of the Saka Kshatrapa Nahapana and her husband was in a state of indifferent health during the closing years of his reign and consequently the throne insecure, she had rendered valuable help to him and materially assisted her son Gautamiputra Satakarni in securing regal power, there is no express evidence on this point though. And this might have been one of the reasons for the inestimable reverence she continued to command for as long as the nineteenth year of her grandson's reign. Added to it was her exemplary conduct involving truthfulness, charities, forbearance, nonviolence, austerities, self-control, restraint and fasting so very graphically described in an inscription of her grandson Vasishthiputra Pulumavi.is The Vakataka Phase We come across a similar case a little over three centuries later among the Vakatakas who succeeded the Andhra-Satavahanas in Vidarbha and adjoining regions. Prabhavati Gupta, the daughter of the Gupta emperor Chandra Gupta II Vikramaditya from his Naga queen Kuberanaga, was wedded to the Vakataka king Rudra Sena 11 (c. 385-95 AD) whose chief queen (agra-mahishi) she became. She gave birth to three sons named Divakara Sena, Damodara Sena and Pravara Sena (II) all of whom were minor at the time of the premature demise of their father. She was, therefore, left with no option but to look after the throne on behalf of her eldest son Divakara Sena (c. 395-410 AD) who was declared the crown prince (Yuvaraja) in which capacity he remained for not less than thirteen years as we learn from her Pune grant.16 Sometime, thereafter, how much is not known, he passed away without coming to thronel and was followed by his younger brother Damodara Sena who may be assigned a reign lasting about ten years (c. 410-20 AD), we have no record of his time though. That he had a separate identity and was not identical with Pravara sena II as held by somel Glimpses of Women in the Satavahana and Vakataka Period] [3 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir is now finally established by the miregaon grant given by Prabhavati Gupta in the twentieth year of the reign of her youngest son Pravara Sena II (c. 420-55 AD) the seal where of describes her explicitly as the 'mother of two valorous Vakataka kings'.! That she was alive at least upto year 23 of Pravara Sena II's reign is vouched for by the latter's Tirodi plates given in that year not just for his own religious merit, longevity and happiness in this and the other world but also for augmenting the religious excellence of his mother.20 Sometime after this, when exactly we can't say, she passed away at the old age of about eighty-five and her death was condoled and commemorated by her unnamed daughter and son Pravara Sena II by constructing the shrine called appropriately Prabhavatisvamin existing presently at the famous site of Ramagiri (modern Ramtek near Nagpur) under the name Kevala-Narasimha as known from a memorial slab inscription fixed in the right wall of this temple. They also got a tank excavated at the nearby village of Kadalivataka and it was christened Sudarsana' after the well-known reservoir at Girnar (Gujarat) excavated originally at the orders of the Maurya emperor Chandragupta by his vaisya provincial governor Pushyagupta and enlarged for his grandson Asoka by bis Greek vassal Tushaspha and repaired, further strengthened and beautified for the Kardamaka Mahakshatrapa Rudradaman I by his Pahlava minister for Anarta and Saurashtra named Suvisakha in the latter half of the second century A.D. as we learn from his Girnar rock inscription. It is evident that she played a dominant role for quite some time in the history of the padmapuraNandivardhana-Pravarapura branch of the dynasty: first she saved the throne from contemporary political powers including the cousins ruling from Vatsagulma (modern Washim) who were waiting for any opportunity to grab it and then continued to overse its growth during the reigns of two of her sons; they were naturally highly obliged to her for the great service she had rendered to the dynasty: added to it was the fact of her hailing from the most powerful and revered ruling family of the time which gave this branch of the Vakatakas an influential position in the then political atmosphere. Some historians have tried to look for some hidden motives in and worsening of this relationship which is not well-based and simply gratuitous. These three royal ladies in the Satavahana and Vakataka history afford shining examples of what some exceptionally gifted women could do in times of adversity as and when it occurred. The social atmosphere of the Deccan which conceded considerable freedom to women also must have aided it. The extant evidence shows that women in this region did not live in segregation from the male and were, and still are, comparatively free from social vices like the veil.

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org III Women at Large Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir As against these royal ladies who were naturally very few in number there were ordinary women who should now claim our attention. Among ordinary people, as in royal households, polygamy was rampant, and in the Gaha-satta-sai we come across allusions to co-wives (sa-patni, gathas 79, 106, 173, 213, 312, 528, 597, 723)and to men with many a wife (bahu-vallabha, 72, 122). Even lesser strata of society like hunters (147) and cowherds (726), who had not much of resources, were not immune from this vice. There are references also to the second marriage and resulting neglect of the first wife (479). Some women were in state service also, and such one was Pota who acted as chamberlain (pratthart) and took down the royal order about the exchange of gift of a field to the Buddhist sangha from Gautamiputra Satakarni as stated in one of his Nasik inscriptions. In the Gaha-satta-sal we find instances of women working as gardeners (malakari, 596) and young men teasing one such gardener by pretending to inquire the price of a flower (598), cowherdesses (gopi, 128) and serving water at public water-sheds (prapa-palika, 161). Some of them helped their agriculturist spouses by carrying food for them (bhakta-harini, 692) and protecting fields with growing plants (690, 815). Prostitution was prevalent, and there are at least two references to harlots (vesya, 156) who were skilled not just in their avocation but also in arts (884). A vast majority of women was illiterate and could count the number of days of separation from their husbands on sojourn only by drawing lines (170, 206, 208) or the number of fingers of hands and feet and could not count beyond (307). However, some women are spoken of as writing letters to their beloveds24 or drawing their pictures. It is relieving to note that some of the women were not just literate but poetesses of great merit whose compositions were found worth inclusion in the Gahasatta-sai. They were Anulakshmi (177, 178, 228, 263, 274), Madhavi (91), Prithivi (76, 86). Reva (87, 90), Roha (163) and Sasiprabha (304). Many of the nuns of high academic accomplishments and enjoying the elevated status in the Buddhist Sangha find mention in the cave inscriptions of western India. Some of them had mastered some of other Buddhist scriptures acted as teachers of some of the fellow nuns. There were separate nunneries (bhikhuniupasaya) at some important Buddhistic centres where there was a good number of nuns and are found mentioned in some records. These included a nunnery called Ambalika-vihara at Kalyana (Luders List, Nos. 988 and 998), Junnar (ibid., No. 1152) and Kanheri (ibid., No. 988). There must, of course, have been nunneries at several other localities, but they Glimpses of Women in the Satavahana and Vakataka Period] [pa For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org are not documented. There are references to female navakarmikas or supervisors of the construction of the nunneries to ensure that they met their special requirements.26 Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir Nuns could also rise high in monasic hierarchy and some of them are found to have enjoyed the honorifics theri (ibid., No. 1006) and bhadanti (ibid., No. 1240). They could have the title arya as well which we find employed in not less than fifteen inscriptions from Bodhgaya referring to a respected nun named Kurangi " though we don't come across such an allusion in the Deccanese records. We find that some of the nuns specialised in some sections of Buddhist scriptures and bore the indicative titles like vinayadhara, samyutta-bhanaka, etc., like some of their male counterparts. We find several nuns who were disciples (antevasini or sishya) of some monks as well as nuns who were teachers of some other nuns, but nowhere a monk pupil under a nun. It probably smacks of male chauvinism which was undoubtedly spurred by the Buddha himself who imposed numerous inequities on nuns after hesitantly admitting them into the sangha. A very elderly nun had to salute a much junior monk, and there were several similar disabilities imposed over nuns. Thus, even the Buddha did not recognise equality of sexes in religio-spiritual matters. The statistical analysis of the references to the monks and nuns is revealing in that the latter were much lesser numerically as compared to the former. The foregoing account relates to the early centuries of the Christian era coeval with the Andhra-Satavahanas. We have hardly any evidence, either literary or epigraphic, on the position of non-regal women during the Vakataka period. Foot-Notes 1.

It is very much damaged with the result that most of the information is lost irretrievably. 3. The commonly recorded and popular name Nagyjanika is actually the popularly pronounced form of the Prakrit name Nagamnika. Its full form was most probably Nagavaradayini which is recorded in line 4 of the larger Naneghat inscription. 4. That she was the chief queen, though not stated explicitly anywhere in the preserved portion of the larger inscription, is shown by the facts that only her figure is given by the side of Satakami, her name figures jointly with that of her husband on some of the coins and that her son succeeded to the throne.

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir "The Concept of amanIbhAva" Suchita Y. Mehta* Various systems of Indian philosophy put forth their own views in respect of the Ultimate Reality. Though all these systems present different philosophical concepts, strikingly enough we find one concept commonly emphasized by Vedanta, Yoga and Subjective Idealism of Buddhism as a remedy to remain aloof from the worldly phenomena. This is the concept of 374-14TC. Before we proceed to peep into various books emphasizing the concept, it would be proper to understand the concept. What is meant by amanIbhAva ? It is our common experience that the mind has a tremendous power of projecting things. Our minds do not remain quiet even for a moment. It continuously remains busy indulging in various types of Sankalpa and Vikalpa. Whatever we perceive, feel, thing, eat, talk are stored in the form of impressions (Samskaras) in our minds. Being overpowered by these various types of impressions it projects the things. It can make heaven of hell and vice versa. On account of this continuous and endless Chain of thoughts and impressions the mind cannot become quiet. Hence while living in the phenomenal world we never get peace of mind for which we are striving. In this context it is noteworthy that in various systems of Indian philosophy our ancient seers have put forth some remedies to soothe the mind, to free it from the worldly bondage. The concept of 374 yra is a remedy to remain aloof from the tangles of the phenomenal world. 374-4T is such a state of mind, in which the mind is rendered totally quiet. Its various modifications cease to operate. The mind becomes no-mind. It is the state of thoughtless awareness - where one experiences or becomes just the Supreme Reality- i.e. Non-dual Sentiency. This state of mind is beyond time and place. It cannot be described in words. Though the body is there, it does not make difference. The one whose mind is merged into Non-duality - for him, only awareness or the state of being just witness (Saksibhava) remains. This state can be considered "Jivanmukti". Such a concept of 374-4ta is attempted to be described in some minor Upanisads, Gaudapada karika, Yoga-vasistha, restrictaariH, 3447 Um etc. Here, in this paper I have tried to present a clear picture of the concept in all its various facets - How does + This paper has been presented at 39th sestion of All India oriental conferense held at Baroda. * Lecturer, Sanskrit Dept., St. Xavier's College, Ahmedabad - 9 (2414114 : 21521042, 2000-HURT, 2009 For Private and Personal Use Only

What is gained by this state ? etc. It is also noteworthy that it is rather a difficult task to cover this subject in a few pages ; as it is a unique concept and one found not just in one specific system of philosophy, but common to many spiritual pursuits. Some Minor Upanisads : It would not be an exaggeration to state that the Upanisads are the store houses of various philosophical concepts. So far as the concept of 374-1419 is concerned, it is not found in the major upanisads. Of course! in Mundaka Upanisad we find the term 3747' = but that is put forth in the context of Brahman* Some minor Upanisads which are replete with the tenets of Yoga philosophy and subjectivistic Idealism, clearly emphasize the concept of 37H-1972. Efs, ofere, riferatyf1971, puit, rent, mahopaniSat, annapUrNopaniSat clearly affirm the mind as a projecting factor of the worldly phenomena. It is the mind only which is responsible for bondage and liberation.' It means that it is the mind only which binds the individual self and it is the mind only which can lead one to the path of liberation ! Thus mind is a responsible facto for bondage and liberation. So one who wishes to achieve liberation, should acquire that state of mind where there is no bondage ! The ularg Upanisad points out two aspects of mind - pure and impure. Pure mind is free from desire while impure mind produces a series of desires. When the mind becomes devoid of any face when is emptied then it is the state of liberation. The same concept has been put forth in the ruyf147*. Making the concept more clear it states that the state of "No mind' can not be expressed by speech. Further the yuftus while explaining the state of "No mind' states that as the fire extinguishes automatically not getting wood, similarly with the destruction of the modifications, the mind is merged and becomes 'no mind'. The rifarufu considers this state of mind nothing else but liberation itself. Apart from these Upanisads there are Eleft and annapUrNopaniSat which complete the picture of amanIbhAva with some added points of presentation. The fourth chapter of HETYSTYC is replete with Vedantic thought. With various illustrations it emphasizes that when the mind becomes frugt, one experiences the state of liberation. Bondage can be cut off with the help of 374-1979.? One can attain 37-479 with the destruction of mind. This can be done with the help of the mind * 340 214: CHA: RI - Mundakopanisad 2-1-2, $onfefavirerereref19c:, 5th edition by T40 T4 37137 - FAUTETTE - HEUTH - 1948 * Sce #artu4144, ue: 40:, PO "The Concept of amanIbhAva""] For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir only. The destruction of mind is nothing else but the destruction of Avidya. This Upanisad clearly uses the term 'amanaskasvarUpa'.!" The annapUrNopaniSat should also be examined so far as the concept of '37-itra' is concerned. In its second chapter it is stated that the state of thithra is a peaceful state which is just a Susupti state (deep sleep) in Jagrat state (waking condition)." There are two types of fatas namely renta and arUpa. Jivanmukti takes place on account of sarUpa cittanAza, while videhamukti takes place on account of 37299 FECHT.2 In order to attain 374-1979 two ways are prescribed - breath control and destruction of root inclination (Vasana). Metaphorically it is stated that there are two seeds of the mind tree Eylurefqe (vibration of the vital airs) and G410A (strong impressions). Yogis control their breath and perform meditation to get peace. The other means to attain 374-4G is destruction of root-inclination. When the mind becomes free from root-inclination then it becomes 'No-mind'. In the fifth chapter the result of acquiring 374-14Ta has been stated. That the one whose mind is merged, is neither pleased by happiness nor becomes sad by unhappiness. Either he receives praise or abusement he remains unaffected."" Though being in waking state he performs actions remaining in susupti. Internally he is houfrerit while externally he seems to behave the normal worldly manner. In short, the state of 374-tyta is just the state of pure awareness (Saksibhava)! From the study of these above mentioned Upanisads, we may say that knowledge and yoga - both are the means to attain the state of 374-tera. When Avidya is annihilated and nothing remains but the Non-dual awareness, then this state is acquired. On the other hand practising Hatha Yoga controlling the vital airs one can merge the mind and attain the state of 3775GHHet where nothing is left but just the awareness of Supreme Sentiency. Gaudapadakarika : Gaudapada, a staunch propounder of Acosmism has negated everything except Non-dual sentiency. He has put the waking state on a par with the dreaming state. 18 In the third chapter of Gaudapadakarika we find the concept of 374-149 - that "This duality in whatever form, comprising the movable and the immovable is perceived by the mind, but when the mind becomes non-mind (.e. when it loses its own function* of thinking, manana) duality is not experienced.''19 Defining the term ' tuta:' he has stated "When by the knowledge of the truth of atman it (the mind) ceases from imagining; it goes to the state of non-mind being non-cognizant in the absence of the things to be cognized."20 The concept is made much clear by the explanation that in the absence of duality the mind becomes Firaq (thoughtless) and FUBIT (suppressed). * Translation of the Karikas is taken from the same mentioned on the previous page. 90] [zu1414 : BHS2142, 2000-412, 2004 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org It has nothing to grasp. There is a vast difference between the sleeping state and 374state. In sleep, the root-inclinations - Avidya is still there. While in the state of 347mind itself is merged into Non-duality. As the Ultimate Reality is realized, nothing is left to grasp. So both the states cannot be compared. Gaudapada has stated "Where there is not thought, there is neither apprehension of abandonment (of any object). At that time the mind rests in itself, is unborn and attains to the state of Sameness.22 He has considered this state as 'Asparsayoga' also," which state is acquired very rarely. Gaudapada has not only mentioned the concept but also has pointed out the means to acquire the same.2 24 Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir It is clearly seen that according to Gaudapada the state of 3 is nothing else but sheer awareness of Supreme consciousness.25 On account of the realization of the Ultimate Reality nothing is left to know or grasp. What is there is only Sentiency. His subjective Idealism has pointed out the projecting power of the mind. Whatever duality appears is nothing but the projection or appearance of the mind. When Avidya is destroyed, the mind also is lost, so what remains is just Non-dual Reality. In shorth, it can be stated that the concept of 3: put forth by Gaudapada leads to the culmination of Vedantic thought and that is Acosmism (Ajativada) ! Yoga-Vasistha : Though the Yoga-Vasistha is a purana, it is replete with Vedantic thought. Not only Vedanta but subjective Idealism and Yoga philosophy are also found in it. Now, so far as the concept of 34: is concerned, we cannot side-tract the Yoga-Vasistha, but must surely take a dip in it. Vasistha while preaching to Rama, who is perturbed, emphasizes the great projecting power of the mind. The world of appearance is projected by the mind only." The only remedy to remain aloof from the phenomenal world is the state of '34' which takes place when the mind ceases to operate. This state is nothing else but liberation itself !28 Though remaining in the midst of worldly phenomena, one remains aloof experiencing the Ultimate Reality.29 While discussing the concept more subtly, some facets are also put forth - such as - How can one acquire this state? What happens during this state ?30 It has been stated that knowledge and Yoga - both are means to acquire it." In the sixth chapter, the episode of zikhidhvaja and kumbha gives a clear picture of the concept. zikhidhvaja inquires about this state of mind. The explanation given by is that 'I' ness is the root of the mind-tree. Root inclinations are its various branches by the abandonment of attachment one can cut off the mind tree. f is gained by the power of consciousness.32 As long as the modifications persist, Ajnana is there. But when the mind becomes no-mind, then the liberation is gained." Eventhough remaining in the waking "The Concept of amanIbhAva" ] [11 For Private and Personal Use Only -

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir state internally one is in Susupti. Though such a one seems to behave in the normal worldly manner, externally, he is your internally. 34 FETIMET is sorrow while falta is happiness.35 Here we may say that Gaudapadakarika and Yoga-Vasistha - both works consider the state of 3777' as the Highest State, in which one experiences the Supreme Bliss. Whether body is there or not it does not make any difference; as mind itself is merged in Non-duality. This state has been considered 'Jivanmukti'. Vijnaptimatratasiddhi : Yogacara school of Buddhism put forth Subjective Idealism so far as the construction of the phenomenal world is concerned. According to Yogacara (Vijnanavada) school of Buddhism, it is nothing else but projection of the mind. The only reality is a continuous flow of consciousness (Vijnaptimatrata). When the mind becomes free from root-inclinations, it is called 3tfan. This state is nothing else but Vijnaptimatrata. In Vijnaptimatratasiddhi composed by Vasubandhu, the concept of vijnaptimatrata has been put forth; which points out the state of FHET. Similar to the concept of amanIbhAva. Not only Vijnaptimatratasiddhi, but saddharmalaMkAvatArasUtram also emphasizes the same. According to Vijnanavada though consciousness is one, it appears in a threefold manner - vipAka, manana and viSayavijJapti. vipAka is called Alayavijnana. The flow of consciousness which flows without any disturbance like the inner surface of the ocean is Alayavijnana. Whereas the consciousness which is disturbed through various root inclinations is yrafast. The very same concept we find in Hasichaaram36. Btufasira is like a storehouse; in which various impressions (Samskaras) are stored. But when these impressions perish, then tragis is also merged. When the true knowledge is gained, then 311614fa37 becomes fausia51117. This is called Vyavrtti. It is the state of Fathat, in which external objects are not grasped. When the mind turns into fazla ESIT then it becomes acitta. This is known as lokottarajJAna. In saddharmalaMkAvatArasUtram the state of acitta is considered vihAra and buddhabhUmi". When one surpasses even mind then he visualizes Mahayana.44 While talking about Buddhistic thought, one must take into account Zen Buddhism - Which though originated in China, has acquired its fullfledged form in Japan. Zen is a way of liberation - in this respect is similar to Taoism, Vedanta and Yoga. 41 Zen is the art of letting the mind alone. It is interesting to know that Zen - (Wu-hsin) means 'No-mind'. Un-self consciousness. Zen is such a art of living, in which through meditation one has to become aware of the self. While meditating upon the mind one acquires the state of No-mind. In modern times Zen Buddhism has become very popular to acquire the state of amana. 42] (2114144 : Bus21642, 2000-HC, 2001 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir Yoga Philosophy : 3799: is acquired either by knowledge (jnana) or by breath control (Yoga). Thus Vedanta and Yoga philosophy equally emphasize the state of 374-14ra: as the Highest State. The definition of the term Yoga is 'm: ferngfer FRE: 142 Control of the modifications of the mind is Yoga. Thus the basic foundation of Yoga Philosophy is the control of the modifications of the mind. But there is a slight difference. In Yoga one has to control his mind whereas 374-14ra: is a state in which there is no mind. Of course! Yoga is one of the means to achieve the state of 'No-mind'. Through constant practice mind is merged and no modification takes place. That is the highest state acquired by practising Yoga. It is noteworthy that the state of nivikalpasamAdhi - nirbIjasamAdhiasamprajJAtasamAdhi can be considered the state of amanIbhAva:43 In the nivikalpasamAdhi modifications cease to operate. In short, the culmination of Yoga practise is the achievement of 374-1979. Here, it would not be cut of place to mention 37474m: composed by TRETTY so far as the concept of 374-1979 is concerned. This concept is discussed very subtly. Not only that but the nature of mind and the method of getting it merged have been psychologically put forth. It has been stated - "When (a yogi) faces the Supreme Reality, the state of nomindedness is produced, and moreover when 'no mindedness' is produced, there would be the complete absorption of mind etc."45 When the mind etc. get dissolved, the wind vanishes and when both the mind and the wind vanish, (the aspirant) abandons the objects of senses." The author while explaining the behaviour of the one who has acquired 37HI41a: states that happiness, sorrow, cold-heat and objects of senses no longer affect him.+? The author has cited a series of illustrations in this context while comparing the Yogi who has acquired that state with a log of wood, ocean free from the wind, the salt merged in water, a lamp placed in a windless place, ghee absorbed in ghee etc.4% Furtheron the author has mentioned various types of fares which one acquires as a result of this state.But it is noteworthy that at this stage, when the mind itself is merged, there arises no question of achieving various frases. If the mind itself is merged, then what is the use of getting frases namely 310TH afah etc.? A Yogin, who has acquired the state of No-mind' is far above that stage. Apart from this one point is noteworthy that the author has very subtly revealed the method through which one may get the mind merged - "Wherever the mind traverses it should not be warded off from moving there." The power of mind enhances when it is warded off. On the contrary it is weakened when it is not warded off.50 With an illustration it is stated that as an elephant uncontrolled by a goad, returns having "The Concept of amanIbhAva"] (13 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir secured its, desired objects. Similarly the uncontrolled mind is also merged. 5' It is very difficult to control the mind, until the realization of the Ultimate Reality. As a merchant makes an unsteady balance steady by constant practice. Similarly the Yogin should make his mind steady with continuous practice. 52 Very poetically it is stated that when the bird in the form of mind attains steadiness, it perishes when the two wings in the form of inhaling and exhaling, and two feet in the form of senses and grasping the objects have completely grown weak. <3 Just as the multitude of rays are absorbed when the sun sets, similarly the whole universe disappears for one whose mind is merged. Thus, 37457 CM' presents a complete picture of the concept of 37Hit 469. Just like the path of knowledge, the path of Yoga also leads the aspirant towards the state of 'No-mindedness'; achieving which one remains as a gut being merged in the ocean of Non-duality.55 Conclusion : While summing up we may state that '314-1919:' is such a state of experiencing the Ultimate Reality, which is propounded by various schools of Indian philosophy namely Vedanta, Yoga and Vijnanavada Buddhism. It is also noteworthy that we find this concept not only narrated in various books, but we have glorious examples of great spiritual personalities who had acquired '37HuTa' during their life span. They are Sri Raman Maharsi, Sri Ma Anandamayi, 56 Sri Aurobindo, Sri Ramakrsnaparamahamsa, Sri Mota, J. Krsnaniurthy etc. Those who seriously wish to remain aloof from the worldly phenomena though living in the midst of it like a lotus remained in the midst of water, who wish to quench their thirst of spirituality, for them the concept of '37 ' is a wonderful remedy ! 2.

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsun Gyanmandir The Critical Edition of the Bhagavata H. G. Shastri* The Great Epics and the Puranas have an outstanding impact on the socioreligious life of the people of ancient India. But their early printed editions contain numerous passages which were incorporated therein in course of time. Sometimes they cover not only numerous verses but even sereval adhyayas. Moreover, the early editions printed in different regions diverge considerably from one another in their contents. This fact necessiated a collation of the divergent versions discerned in the MSS of the different regions and discrimination between common verses and interpolated verses. The collation formed a solid basis for the critical edition of the texts, but it required a well-organised planning, the aequisition of select MSS representing the different versions and a team of trained collators familiar with the scripts of the different regions. The critical edition could be reliably prepared by outstanding scholars of Sanskrit and published by the provision of enormous funds. The initiative was taken by the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona, which undertook the enormous task of preparing and publishing a critical edition of the Mahabharata. The bulky text contained about 1,00,000 verses and involved several recensions and versions. The labourous task of constituting the text based on select original readings and the relegation of the variant readings and interpolated passages in corresponding foot-notes containing references to the different sources of the divergent readings took a pretty long period of about three decades for preparing and publishing the critical edition of the Mahabharata. But it paved an ideal system for preparing a critical edition scientifically. Subsequently the institute also prepared a critical edition of Harivamsa which represents a Khila (supplement) of the Mahabharata. It recognised only five adhyayas out of 135 adhyayas of its third section given in the early editions. The Oriental Institute of M. S. University of Baroda undertook a similar project for preparing and publishing the critical edition of the Ramayana. Like the Great Epics the Puranas also necessiated similar projects for critical editions. The Kashi Raj Trust of Varanasi prepared and published critical editions of a few select Puranas, but they were based on the collation of only a few MSS comparatively. The B. J. Institute of Learning and Research, Ahmedabad was aspiring for VULLIONS. * Retd. Director, B.J. Institute, Ahmedabad. The Critical Edition of the Bhagavata] For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir preparing a critical edition of the Bhagavata, which is the most popular Purana for the Vaisnavas. Prof. R. C. Parikh, the Director of the Institute, planned the entire project in 1951. In 1953 Brahmachri Wadi Trust undertook the project on behalf of the B. J. Institute and appointed Shri Vishnudev S. Pandit in 1955 to locate the various versions of the Bhagavata. The institute started to collect select MSS of the Purana. It also requested the Union Government to sanction adequate financial grant for preparing and publishing the critical edition of the Bhagavata. Index cards were prepared for collecting data from the known MSS of the Bhagavata in India and abroad. Prof. N. K. Bambhania undertook to note variant readings from the outstanding commentaries. In 1961 Prof. R. C. Parikh and Prof. D. R. Mankad were appointed General Editors of the project. Shri V. S. Pandit recorded successive lines of verses given in the Kumbhakonam edition selected as the vulgate in sets of ruled sheets. Meanwhile, the institute also collected MSS of the Bhagavata from Chhani, Porbandar, Jamnagar, Ahmedabad, Baroda and other places in Gujarat. Microfilm of one MS was acquired from Paris through Priyabala Shah. The Institute also pursued to request the Union Government for grant-in-aid, but it yielded no concrete result even after the lapse of a pretty long period. Meanwhile Dr. D. R. Mankad expired in 1970 and the institute appointed Dr. H. G. Shastri in his place as the joint General Editor with Prof. R. C. Parikh. Prof. R. C. Patikh retired as Director in 1968, but continued to take an active part in this project till his demise in 1982. Meanwhile Dr. H. G. Shastri officiated as Director till his retirement in 1979. He was succeeded by Dr. P. C. Parikh as Director, but he continued to function as Chief Editor of this project. The Institute continued to appeal the State Government for the grant-in-aid throughout, and the State Government of Gujarat sanctioned the necessary grant-in-aid in 1985. The Institute appointed a fresh Editorial Board with Dr. K. K. Shastri, Dr. H, G. Shastri and Dr. Bharati K. Shelat as General Editors in 1985. The approval of the grant by the State Government gave an impetus to execute the project through the appointment of an administrative officer in 1988. Dr. S. K. Dave, who officiated as the administrative officer, expedited the work of acquiring MSS on loan or procuring zerox copies and microfilm copies of MSS from other states of India. The collators were trained by Dr. Bharati Shelat in noting readings from different regional scripts. She also undertook to officiate as the Executive Editor with fulltime supervision of the work. Dr. K. K. Shastri and Dr. P. C. Parikh also took keen interest in procuring some additional MSS and funds. When the latter retired in March, 1997 Dr. Bharati Shelat was appointed Director. Meanwhile Dr. S. K. Dave expired in 1990 and the Institute appointed Dr. Balaji Ganorkar in his place. He procured a microfilm copy of the earliest extant MS (DI) of the Bhagavata 20] (2113114 : Buissiez, 2000-421, 2009 For Private and Personal Use Only

MSS were also procured from Nepal. When Dr. Ganorkar left the institute in 1995, the charge of supplying necessary data for the critical apparatus was assigned to Smt. Nayana Adhvaryu. It was planned to publish the critical edition in four volumes comprising three skandhas each. The Editors have generally adopted and followed the principles laid down for the critical editions of the Great Epics. Generally the stanzas found common in almost all MSS consulted are adopted for the constituted text, while stanzas contained only in some MS or MSS are relegated as interpolated and recorded in the critical apparatus. The variant readings of letters or words or padas are noted in the critical apparatus given below the constituted text in the respective pages, with specific reference to the MSS and commentaries containing them. When some variant is found in a printed edition but does not occur in any MSS or commentaries consulted, it is inserted in the critical apparatus with reference to the particular printed edition. Special emphasis is laid on the readings in the oldest MS consulted, but they are not adopted necessarily in all cases. Generally the readings that seem to be most appropriate in the context from various viewpoints are adopted for the constituted text. The letters or words of the variant readings which are found to be less than certain are underlined with wavy lines. The interpolated lines are given in the critical apparatus with separate serial numbers in each skandha. Obscure words or concepts are expounded in critical notes at the end of the volume along with some observations of comparative references. The editor of each volume has also contributed a scholarly introduction, giving a short list and a detailed account of the MSS scriptwise, which is followed by the testimonia classified into commentaries, printed editions, epitomes, renderings and translations. This is followed by a general survey of the MSS and the insertions and omissions in the different versions. The editor then dwells upon the subjectmatter of the skandhas concerned, with observations on their salient features including contents, metres, figures of speech, grammatical peculiarities etc. The introduction is followed by a table of concordance of the critical edition with select printed editions. The introduction is preceded by a few illustrations adopted from old MSS, and a few facsimiles of folios of MSS in different scripts. Vol. I of the critical edition, comprising Skandhas I-III, is edited by Dr. H. G. Shastri. He has constituted the text by selecting appropriate readings from select MSS copied in Sarada, Newari, Maithili, Bengali, Devanagari, Nandinagari.

Most of these MSS are copied in the 15th to the 18th cent. A. D. Exceptionally the MS (D) in Sarasavati Bhavan, Varanasi, dates back in the 12th cent. A. D. The text of Skandhas I, II and III is constituted on the basis of select 27, 30 and 31 MSS respectively. The immediate interlocators of the Bhagavata are Sage Saunaka and Sata Pauranika but the original author of the Purana is believed to be Vyasa, who felt unsatisfied even after compiling the Vedic hymns into four Vedas and composing the Mahabharata, composed the Bhagavata at the instance of Narada and taught it to his worthy son Suka, who narrated it to King Pariksit (I, 3-7). Hence the principal interlocators of the Bhagavata are King Pariksit and Suka. The author, therefore, devotes the major portion (adhy. 8-18) of Skandha I to the narration of the various incidents of the life of King Pariksit. Sata Pauranika is said to have learnt the Bhagavata from Suka, while the latter narrated it to Pariksit. Pariksit presents a number of questions to Suka, who expounded an epitome of the Bhagavata with its ten characteristics in Skandha II. Skandha III is regarded to be dealing with the first characteristic, viz sarga (creation). Skandha I consists of 18 adhayayas. Some MSS split 1-10 into two adhayayas, depicting Krnsas travel to Dvaraka in 1.10 and his entry into the city in 1.11. Skandha II, consisting of only 10 adhayayas, is the briefest skandha of the Bhagavata, Skandha Ill consists of 33 adhayayas. It contains the episode of the digvijaya of Hiranyaksa and his terrific encounter with the Varaha incarnation of Visnu. The concluding adhayayas 21-33 give a detailed akhyana of Kapila, the expounder of the Samkhya system of philosophy. Vol. I was published in 1996 and its price is Rs. 500. Vol. II is contributed by Dr. Bharati Shelat. It deals with the next three skandhas IV, V and VI. She has constituted the text on the basis of select MSS in Sarada, Nevari, Maithili, Bengali, Devanagari, Nandinagari, Telugu, Kannada, Grantha and Malayalam scripts. The total number of the select MSS is 31 in Skandha IV, 29 in Skandha V and 26 in Skandha VI. From the collation of the 36 MSS, the Editor has discerned five versions, viz. Northern, Western, North-Eastern, North-Western and Southern. She has also given scriptwise numbers of omissions and insertions. Skandha IV narrates the account of the families of Manu's three daughters. It contains the akhanas of Daksa and Sati, Dhruva, Anga, Vena, Psthu, Puranjana and Pracetas. Skandha V contains the akhyanas of Priyavrata, Agridhra, Nabhi, Rsabhadeva and Bharata. It also narrates the global geography, the astrological circle and the Hell.

The skandha concludes with the description of the Pursavana Vrata. In the critical study of the skandhas concerned, the editor has also given a comparative table of the avataras of Visnu enumerated at five places in the Bhagavata including adhyaya 8 of Skandha VI. The tables of the dynasty of Priyavrata and the seven dvipas compare the account in the Bhagavata with some other Puranas. The Editor has also given analytic tables of the different metres used in these three skandhas along with the number of verses composed in the different metres. Vol. II was published in 1999. Its price is Rs. 800. The three Skandhas in Vol. III are distributed among the three Editors. Skandha VII is critically edited by Dr. H. G. Shastri. The text constituted by him is based on MSS in Sarada, Nevari, Maithili, Bengali, Devanagari, Nandinagari, Telugu, Kannada, Grantha and Malayalam scripts, their total number being 26. A comparative study of the readings in these MSS indicates that they can be classified into five versions, viz. North-West, North-East, Northern, Western and Southern. The difference of the regional versions is confirmed and corroborated by a comparative study of the insertions and omissions found in the select MSS copied in the difficult regional scripts. They are analytically mentioned in the two tables. Skandha VII consists of 15 adhyayas comprising 750 verses in all. The first 10 adhyayas are devoted to the narration of the story of Hiranyakasipu, his son Prahrada and the incarnation of Nosimha. The editor has aptly drawn attention to the long gap between the narration of the assassination of Hiranyaksa in III.19 and the narration of the assassination of his brother Hiranyakasipu in VII. 8. The carita of Prahrada is followed by a short account of the rescue of Siva by God Visnu, when the former was entangled by the harassment of Maya Danava. From the Puranic point of view Skandha VII is intended to deal with the fifth laksana of the Mahapurana, viz. Uti (material lust for karma). The last five adhyayas of this skandha are devoted to a Smrti type of topic, depicting the duties of the four varnas and the four asramas. The editor has also dealt with the use of different metres and some grammatical peculiarities discerned in this skandha.

The smaller interpolations number 326, while the bigger ones number 31. The Editor gives the bigger interpolations in Appendix I-XXIX which include adhyayas 12, 13 and 14 of the Vulgate (narrating Aghasura-vadha, Vatsaharana and Brahma-stuti) given in Appendix VII. They do not occur in the old MSS are D, and Nn, and considered interpolated in the commentaries given by Vijayadhvaja and Vallabhacarya. The Editor has contributed a critical study of this skandha, discussing the historicity of Krsna and supplying a comparative table of the different episodes of Krsna's life as given in Harivamsa, Visnu Purana and Bhagavata Purana. He has also dwelt upon the earliest narration of the episodes of Krsnas boyhood as given by Bhasa in his Balacarita. It is to be noted that among the early Puranas the Bhagavata gives a more elaborate and systematic narration of the successive episodes of Krsna's life. It depicts the long glorious career of Krsna Vasudeva at Gokula, Vrndavana, Mathura and Dvaraka, commencing with his birth at Mathura and terminating with the conclusion of his lilas. The main subject of Skandha X is obviously Nirodha, a peculiar kind of salvation. In critical notes Dr. Shastree has also included the smaller and bigger interpolations, choosing smaller interpolations according to their importance. As Skandha X is bulky, it is confined to Part I, which was published in 1997 soon after Vol. I. It gives more illustrations including some coloured ones. The price of Part 1 is Rs. 1,000. The last two Skandhas XI and XII are given in Part II of Vol. IV. The text of Skandha XI is based on the collation of 28 MSS.

It then expounds the Bhagavata faith, describes maya, the incarnations of the Lord and gives a long dialogue between Krsna and Uddhava (Adhy. 7 to 29). Now Krsna advises Uddhava to go Badarikasrama. The last two adhyayas (30 and 31) narrate the destruction of the Yadavas and the dehotsarga of Krsna. The Editor, an ardent follower of Vaisnavism, dwells upon the evolution of the Pancaratra or Satvata sect, and the concepts of Narayana and Vasudeva, tracing their origin in the Upanisads and their use by Panini.

I am extremely grateful to the chair-person and the members of the executive committee of the Indian History and Culture Society for their magnanimity in bestowing on me the honour of presiding this annual gathering which I very humbly feel I do not deserve. Nevertheless, I feel it deemed indeed to be grately honoured in having an opportunity to address this august assembly of eminent historians and archaeologists; but I do seek your indulgence to admit that I have no special claim to preside over this gathering. I have, nevertheless, accepted this singular honour just because I am associated with this august body since its inception and was vice-chairperson for sometime. My most sincere thanks to all distinguished members of this Society. The IHCS is now running in its 21st year. Its membership continues to grow every year. It has been making persistent endeavours for promoting the cause of developing methods of history writing in our own settings thereby making our understanding and concept of history indigenously more clear and transparent by helping us to use our own sources and resources on the basis of our own thinking and notion which we have inherited since Vedas. It has made pioneering contributions for the promotion of exchanges of ideas and experiences we have had in our field of research for understanding our cultures through such annual sessions and by publishing annual proceedings for adorning our own library. It is indeed very heartening that a very healthy tradition is being set up in holding three annual conferences together of three academic societies, though different in their outlook but surely interdisciplined, which would certainly integrate knowledge while interacting with one another as all of them are interdependent. We are meeting in Shreenagar - Garhwal, a land endowed with some of the richest natural beauty and located in the very foots of our celebrated Himalayas, under the pleasant auspices of H.N.B. Garhwal University. This is one of the most important historical towns and cultural centres enroute to the famous shrines of Badrinath and Kedarnath.

We all are very very thankful to this august educational institution for hosting these annual gatherings. I am originally trained as a student in the field of epigraphy and numismatics. After joining the Gujarat Vidyapith in 1963 I got myself initiated in modern Indian history especially in the history of India's independence movement, for the birth of the Gujarat Vidyapith had taken place in the wake of non-cooperation movement under the guiding spirit of Mahatma Gandhiji in 1920. Thus this institute of higher academic learnings then and deemed university since 1965 offered me an opportunity to train students in their persue of the study of the freedom history of our mother land, for this was one of the three main thrust areas of the department of History and Culture headed by this speaker. The perusal of the contributions of the freedom fighters of Gujarat during independence struggle helped to further my knowledge of verbal tradition, as one of the sources of writing history, for the study of our freedom movement is far and wide based on Mukha-Shabda i.e. word-of-mouth of our freeodm fighters. With this little insight in the subject this speaker was enabled to build an Archival cell under the aegis of his department in 1983 and developed different level courses in Archival science leading to Ph.D. degree since 1984 for the first time at the university level. Very humbly I should say that for nearly three decades of unstinted work in the department with the help and cooperation of my colleagues, not only in the thrust areas but in historical conceptual research too, has helped in fetching for this department in the Gujarat Vidyapith a coveted upgraded special assistance programme (DSA) from the U.G.C. for five years in 1991. With this little insight in the subject I would prefer a few words on the impact of oral sources at a juncture when we celebrate the 50th year of our independence. Though our very precious struggle mostly took place during this very century and when there is no paucity of both material evidences and written documents, the sources of writing histories of our freedom movement both at national and regional levels, are mostly verbal ones or preserved in words-of-mouth. While venturing to present some of my results of investigation on the subject I seek your forbearance for recounting some of the points on the issue of this speech made earlier by my distinguished learned predecessors. Before I proceed with, let us join the bereaved families in paying our utmost homage to our departed distinguished fellow historians and archaeologists whose absence today has been felt by us all. Let those souls rest in peace for ever. * * * 26] (2114144 : MS21042, 2000-HIRT, 2009 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir Human society functions by expressing the mental perceptions of individuals. This expression takes several forms of which word-of-mouth i.e. verbal one is the most common and widely spread through the ages since the remote past and is at hand and at home both for literate and illiterate people irrespective of their age and gender. This function of language as an expression of human mind and its limitations are clearly visualised in the Rugvedic Mantra : catvAri vAk parimitA padAni, tAni vidurbrAhmaNA ye manISiNaH / guhA trINi nihitA neGgayanti, turIyaM vAco manuSyA vadanti / / (1.164.45) Speech has four stages : Para, Pashyanti, Madhyama and Vaikhari. Scholars know this. Of the four the first three are hidden in the cave of intellects. Hence they do not appear or known. Therefore, people do apply the fourth one i.e. Vaikhari, With this limitation of the verbal expression we would try to understand and analyse the importance of oral sources. In actual life situation, Pratyaksha and its associates Anumana and Upamana are used as the basis of knowledge that is expressed as Shabda. But in academic sphere often emphasis is placed on Shabda, Abhava, Arthapatti and Aitihya as primary sources of knowledge. Memories of individuals are one of the functions of mind i.e. Chittavrutti. It is either retained by him or is lost in oblivion. This depends on the intensity of concentration at the time of experience or repititive experience. So it is a common knowledge that at individual level only the most impressive experiences are retained by him with conscious effort i.e. Swadhyaya. In the absence of such an effort the retention of experience is very weak or even non-existent. If the intensity of the experience be strong and efforts to retain it are also equally continuous, then it could be recalled and it needs to be retraced either in mind or could be narrated verbally or in writing. We cannot ignore the verbal tradition as support while using other sources for writing history, especially to a country of India's size and population, variety and complexity, no dearth of languages and cultures, religions and literatures, for understanding the minds of our forefathers whose vision carried the imagination of poetry and philosophy and whose deeds certainly fixed the imprint of sublimity. The political front was not in good state and test in Gujarat. Gujarat was under great political control of Marathas on one side and innumerable dominating Princely States on the other. Princely states were fighting almost constantly with one another thereby wasting both their resources and strength. Not satisfied with this and also to strengthen one's own control and political prestige, they used to invite outsiders. This made their own position more and more dependent.

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir The East India Company took the advantage of this political situation and forced Peshwas for the treaty of Vasai in 1802 thereby leading Gujarat towards political suicidal and bringing the Peshwa power to an end in 1818. The British thus became supreme power in Gujarat keeping Princely States under its heel. With the establishment of new political power in Gujarat there emerged a whirlpool of renaissance. The British contact made an impact on the society, religion, politics, literature and history of Gujarat. Nevertheless, these in turn helped in making the people of Gujarat politically conscious. The forces which helped in arousing the self-consciousness were literature, education and news papers. Through these media new openings were experienced in the field of social reforms and political development. As noted, British power got established in 1818 in Gujarat and before we got used to the administrative setup and came under their political submission, the people of Gujarat started showing their uneasiness, which forced company government to depute Captain James Outram to study the origin and discontent that prevailed among the people of Gujarat. The report, submitted by Captain Outram to the government on 14-11-1835, noted that the control of the Company Government over Gujarat in general and especially over the Baroda State is decreasing and respect towards Europe is also shrinking. Thus the decision of the company government of deputing Captain Outram for submitting his report on factfinding clearly proved that Gujarat politically was undergoing tremendous change. The dynamics of which have reflected in the emergence of public awareness for freedom-oriented conscionsness in Gujarat before the birth of the Indian National Congress in 1885. They were : (1) Revolt against Salt-Tax in 1844 by the people of Surat, (2) Resistance to new-weight-system in 1848 again by the people of Surat, (3) Event of 1857 during which some communities such as Koli, Bhil, Thakarda & Nayakada got some inspiration of revolting against establishment, (4) Disturbances against Income Tax in 1860 at Surat, (5) Beginning and spread of the message of Swadeshi movement in Ahmadabad in 1876, (6) Revolt against Licence-Tax in 1878 both at Ahmadabad and Surat, (7) Foundation of Gujarat Sabha' as the precusor of the Mahasabha in 1884 at Ahmadabad. All these were at political front. But there were events of social regeneration too. They were : (1) Uprooted the forced-labour-system in 1856, (2) First widow-remarriage took place in 1860, (3) Mahipatram the social activist, undertook prohibitive action of going on sea-voyage in the same year, (4) Bhats of Nadiad in Kheda district revolted in 1861, (5) In 1867 poet Narmad presented the idea of Rashtradhwaj having notion of 'Premashaurya' i.e. Chivarly, (6) Narmad, the poet and social reformer, put forth his idea of making 30] 44: BUS21642, 2000-7421, 2009 For Private and Personal Use Only

But rest assure I am not going to deal with all these political and social regeneration in detail at this moment. I will just prefer to focus mainly on two scores i.e. One is the awareness amongst downtrodden communities of Gujarat and second is the role of media in regenerating the conscionsness in the cultural environment of Gujarat. As the first Independence movement of 1857 had no strong leadership to name, Gujarat did not show much enthusiasum. Baroda state remained inactive towards this struggle. Princely states of Gujarat especially in its Saurashtra region were also not interested to support this movement, and they were internally detached. Secret symbolic words failed in their mission. But because of the advent of Rajputs and Rohilas from north and central India, some communities such as Bhil, Koli, Thakarda and Nayakada got some inspiration. The result of this scattered upsurge had little effect over Gujarat. Nevertheless, they are worth to name as political awareness, Nadod (in Bharuch District), Dahod, Pala, Godhara and Jambughoda (all in Panchmahal District), Santh in Rewakantha Agency), Chandap, Pratapapur and Anagad (in Mahikantha Agency) and Khanpur (in Lunawada Taluka) were centres of event during 1857. As the atmosphere of all these places was dangerous for the government, it took stern steps to stop any further development of discontent, which included hanging the reballions, burning the troubled villages, arresting the leaders etc. It is said that with the active help of the Maharaja Khanderao of Vadodara, the government was able to establish socalled peace in Gujarat and arrest the rebellious leaders. But this is contrary to the fact. In fact the Khanderao had cooperated the rebellions instead the government. The British might have found hard time in Gujarat. The confession of Shakespeare, the then Resident of Vadodara, is itself illuminating. According to him it was not possible for them to have overhand either on Gujarat or on Baroda State without the positive cooperation of Gaekwad and by giving him leadership. Secondly the government tried to implement the plan of disarming people in Gujarat, but the government found it difficult to disarm the peaceful region of Gujarat for the people of Gujarat did not remain passive.

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir Without going into any details of the Gaekwadi politics during 1857, it is necessary to analyse an incident of dethronning Khanderao Gaekwad by his younger brother Govindram alias Bapu Gaekwad. with the help of Kolis, Bhils & Nayakala. The coup did not materialise and Govindram was arrested by Gaekwadi army. But the Kolis of Kheralu, Vadnagar and Vijapur of North Gujarat, Kheda and Mahikantha of central Gujarat got armed themselves despite the arrest of Govindram and planned to march towards Vadodara. The Resident of Vadodara, Mr. Shakespeare informed the government the support of Kolis to the coup. The Bhils from the Gaekwadi villages of Vijapur Taluka gathered in greater number and attacked the nearby Lodra village but in futile. The Acting Megistrate of Bharuch also reported to the Political Secretary of the Bombay goevernment that some people (of course Nayakada) from Bharuch also were marching towards Vadodara. Surprisingly, Maganlal, the Bania of Vadodara did help the Bhils in their mission and collected an army in the hills of Taranga and marched towards Ahmadabad for reaching their destination at Vadodara. But Maganlal alongwith his 11 trusted colleagues were arrested and were sentenced by general Roberts and Mr. Hadau. Another Bania Sheth Nihalchand Fatehchand Zaveri of Vadodara also instigated the Bhils of Mahikantha, but he was arrested. Certainly though these incidences have no direct bearings on the first independence movement of 1857; they showed their national awareness, protested peacefully and also proved their armed strength. Here it is worth mentioning that during the 1857 movement the information were spread by using symbolic words like Roti and Kamal in India; but in the North Gujarat and Kheda district the symbolic words those were used were 'small (Nani Dalakhi) branch of a tree.' Having knowledge about these symbolic secret information in April 1858, the British government became restless and instituted investigation for this in Kheda, Ahmadabad and Palanpur districts alongwith Rewakantha and Mahikantha Agencies. Citing a word from both Ashoka's edicts and Kautilya's Arthashastra may be worth, for it has a bearing on our analysis. This word is Atavika. Why Ashoka, while not taking cognition of other communities in the then India, had made a special mention of Atavika community ? The reason seems obvious. This community was militant in action, peaceful in nature and nationalist in thought. Hence even Ashoka recruited them in his army. Since then we have been seeing this people as nationalist in outlook and militant when need arose. Chandap was a Koli village situated at a distance of 20 kms. from Idar, a capital of Idar State. Both Gaekwad and state of Idar were collecting Rs. 70/- plus and Rs. 216/- plus respectively from this village as 'Ghasadana' and 'Khichadi'. One vigilant-station (Take'darithanu) comprising of ten horsemen was instituted by Gaekwad at this village. Gametibandhus - the headmen of the village, felt this act 32] (4414: 2452142, 2000-443, 2009 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir as an insult. The entire village was up in anger mood. Shree Jayashankar Mehta, the Gaekwad's officer, was insulted when he paid visit to this village on 16-9-1857. Not only this but this village had revolted against the state. Nearly 900 Kolis of this village took arrows and bows as well as swords and turned the village into the battle field. State took position too, but Kolis were still holding upper hand. State bought succour of army from the state of Sadara, while nearby Dabhoda village spontaneously supplied weapons to Kolis. Kadi also extended militant help. Hence the state took stern action and proclaimed to punish those who help Chandap. Under the leadership of Kumavisdar (revenue officer) of Kheralu the Gaekwad sent an army division of 782 and deserted the village. But nearly for 4 months this tiny village of Kolis bravely resisted the government. Nevertheless, these kolis showed their Kshatriyahood proving thereby that backward communities had also did their best to absorb the ideals of nationalism. The second point I want to analyse here is the role of Newspapers and periodicals for enhancing the cause of nationalism. The News-papers were : Khedavartaman (1851), Dandiyo (1864), 'Deshimitra' (1873), 'Swatantrata' (1878), 'Gujarati' (1880), 'Kaisarehind' (1882), 'Suratmitra' (1883) and 'Gujaratmitra' (1884). All these did their best to arouse the conscience of people for the importance of nationalism and abreast them about what is going on in the then British India. Both Panachand Sheth and Kahandas Sheth started this weekly from Kheda town with the sole aim of informing the people of the district about the happenings around, for these people were just engrossed only in religious literature. Thus it had importantly done the yeoman's work of instigating the habit of reading. This Newspaper is still getting published.* Poet Narmadashanker lounched a fortnight titled Dandiyo from Surat for educating the masses against the bad habits, immorality and unhealthy social customs which were deeprooted into the society. Before the birth of INC this fortnightly magazine awakened the people regarding political issues and earnestly desired to give military training to Hindus as well as requested the educated to learn Hindi.* The 'Sharda Pujak Mandali' was responsible to start everfirst monthy 'Swatantrata' from Surat. Right from the first issue this monthly targeted its guns towards British government publishing articles against injustice and atrocities the people were coming across. Not lasted long this periodical accomplished its very name and had its name engraved in the history of Gujarati Journalism proudly.* Getting himself trained in journalism in 'Swatantrata'. Ichcharam Suryaram Desai started a periodical from Bombay namely 'Gujarati'. Then three Gujarati periodicals were published by Parasi community. This was the only Gujarati periodical from Bombay who had fearlessly and unfailingly discussed issues pertaining to politics, against British government and Princely States too.

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir popular in the then Kathiawad region. The reports for the first time was published in Gujarati by this periodical regarding the ever first gathering of INC in 1885. This was the only reputable periodical in Gujarati language who sided openly the cause of INC.* Though launched by a Parasi gentleman Kyasare Hind' was very popular amongst non-Parasi communities. The policy and ethics of this periodical was very clear. It was : Haradam Sachchu Bolavun. Loknu Bhalu Haide Rakhavun. Sachchane Madad Karavi. Swatantratani Himayate Javun.** Both 'Suratmitra' and 'Gujaratmitra' were not different, but were incarnations one after another. 'Suratmitra' was a weekly published every sunday by Dinashaw Ardeshar Taliyarkhan. Viewing the popularity of this next year he launched 'Gujaratmitra'. Injustice, autocratism, English Governors and Kings were its target. Mainly this periodical launched memorable fights against traditional Princely States. Thus this public media become a powerful medium for spreading the message of nationalist awareness and cultural consciousness and arousing spirit of justice and nationalism in the remote rural areas alongwith urban ones. In the end, I would like to bring to your kind knowledge two most important events to show the environment of mass upsurge before 1885. They are the beginning of Swadeshi agitation and the establishment of Gujarat sabha'as precursors of both 'Swadeshi Movement' and 'Mahasabha', briefly. To maintain the price line of the household goods and commodities as well as to support cotton and other industries to grow at local level 'Swadeshi Udyogvarrdhak Mandal' was established in Ahmadabad in 1876. It seems that the whole nation had yet to witness the country wide programme of 'Swadeshi' as constructive means for national struggle for more than two decades Shree Arvind Ghosh advocated the use of Swadeshi goods in Bengal in relation to Bangbhang agitation in 1905. That is to say that the very thought of Swadeshi was put into action by Ahmadabad two and half decades ago. Thus the people of Ahmadabad - Gujarat were the pioneers of the movement of Swadeshi which later on successfully activised and implemented on a mass scale through the width and breadth of our country by Mahatma Gandhiji. Let me tell you that this movement was militant in nature, peaceful in action and nationalist in thought. Sarvashree Ambalal Sakarlal, Ranchhodlal Chhotalal, Hargovindas Kantawala, Premabhai Himabhai and others were in the limelight and torchbearers of this movement. The foundation of the 'Gujarat Sabha' at Ahmadabad in 1884 was an example of nationalist perspective and political awareness of the people of Gujarat. It was the land-mark in the history of freedom movement not only in Gujarat but in the whole nation from various reasons such as these : (1) Through this forum a kind of viable 38] Rutlu4 : BHS21642, 2000-HIRI, 2009 For Private and Personal Use Only

(2) This association named as 'Gujarat Sabha' was founded an year earlier than the establishment of the INC in 1885. (3) This miniature of the Mahasabha, this Gujarat based association got the status of pioneering institution in the history of the National Freedom Movement. (4) The object of this association was to bring to the knowledge of the government people's difficulties and injustice through memoranda, representations et cetera, which were also the aims of the INC in the beginning. (5) Thus the origin of the Gujarat Sabha became, so to say, the precursor of the Mahasabha. (6) Desire for freedom was a genuine aspiration that took several forms of which Gujarat Sabha was one. (7) Both Gandhiji and Sardar Patel were the Presidents of this Sabha. (8) As per the Nagpur Congress resolution in 1920. Provincial Committees of the Congress were constituted. Hence Gujarat Sabha then became 'Gujarat Pradesh Congress Samiti'. Thus before the establishment of the all India body in the wake of nation's freedom movenient, Gujarat thus was enlightened politically showing its policised awareness in the national perspective and contributed basically by resisting steps taken by British Government by establishing political body viz. Gujarat Sabha and taking constructive measures of Swadeshi. In an overview such as this, space and time do not permit a detailed account and its analysis of the various efforts made by our historians to enlarge the scope of using the verbal sources for writing our history; for our country has witnessed a drama since millions of years with actors of different races, different faiths, different languages and cultures in different regions at different times through the ages. One could imagine the enormity of verbal traditions we have had during all these years. Take an event and just try to register information after information and one would need a volume to do full justice to it. If these were to be the case of one incident at one time what about the whole of India since the beginning of man's culture ? This shows that the area of verbal sources too is quite large in width and breadth. The larger the vision of knowledge the larger the horizon of information. I am sure that we would certainly realise the fact that this discipline is a rich heritage from the past down to this day. I do hope we would exert our utmost strength to nourish and cherish this blooming lotus from mud and mire so that its beauty and fragrance may spread far and wide for illuminating the love and labour that our elder generations showed for fighting for the cause of nation's freedom of which we now celebrate its 50th year. Fellow historians and archaeologists, once again I thank you all for having chosen me for this high office and crave your indulgence by giving me patient hearing for these rambling and scattered remarks. I wish the deliberations all success. Abhar. Astu. Dynamics of National Awareness in Gujarat Before 1885) [35 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir A Study of the Swaminarayan sect in Gujarat During the 19th Century* Vikesh Pandya' Although a large number of Hindu-Religious sects emerged in Gujarat in 19th Century, the Swaminarayan sect was the most popular sect among the low cast people It was popular even among some of the muslims. The objective of this paper is to study the factors responsible for the rise and growth and the popularity of the sect. Even the British Officials lent their support to it. This paper is based on Gujarati and English sources. The Hindu-religion which its rituals, temples, and caste hierachy continuous tc be a part of Indian morals and behaviour. As this phenomenon is growing at a faster rate historians have been taking increasing interest to study the sectarian process. Recently Makrand Mahta published a major artical showing that the heads of the religious sects operate like business entrepreneurs. He has pointed out how the founders of this sec created personal property in the temples. My objective in this paper is to study the mediums employed by Sahajananc Swami (1781-1830) the founder of this sect, populazised it. He was a contemporary of Raja Ram Mohan Ray. Sahajanand Swami was born in Chhapaiya, a few K.M. from Ayodhya. He lefi his home and wondered throughout India in search of a Guru. He visited Log, a village in Saurashtra, in 1800 and thereafter he made Gujarat the home of his Life and religious mission. He started preaching vaishnavism laying lot of emphasis on austerity, nor violence and selfless service. in view of the fact that the Vallabh sect had lot of sexual curruptions, Sahjanand Swami introduced many rigid elements in his own sect. His sect, thus, came as a protest movement. He gave honourable place to female sadhus. They were known by the name of Sankhya Yoginis and they enjoyed the status equivalent to a Sadhu. The Sankhya Yoginies preached the female gatherings.? Sahajanand Swami learnt Gujarati language in a short time and he started preaching in very simple language. He wrote and spoke in a language that could be understood by the common people. A book known as Vachanamruta containing his preachings in the various towns and villages of Gujarat. Shows beyond doubt that his style was both simple and entertaining.3 Another strong point of the Swaminarayana sect was the high moral character of its sadhus' and sadhvis'. Persons like Brahmanand, Muktanand, Devananand, prernanand and Nishkulanand were the most talented sadhus' in this sect. Some of them were musicians and poets who attracted people in large number. They roamed about in the + The paper presented in the 52nd session, Indian History Congress, Vikram University, Ujjain * Lecturer.

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir cities and villages in order to sproad the message of sahajananda swami. The swami on his part encourage them in acquiring the musical art and in preaching in a simple style. Naturally, therefore, the sect rapidly grew popular. In the initial stage, Sahajananda's following, comprised mostly the castes below the Brahamanical level. The members of the trading castes seem to have remained a loof. The movement of the sect was generally restricted to Saurashtra which was then divided into nine districts, viz. Jhalawad, Kathiawad, Gohelwad, machu kantha, Halar, Sorath, Babriawad, Jetwad, and Okhamandal. Novertheless more persons belonging to the artisan and the warrior castes started following the sect, which was now known by the name of Swaminarayana, Sahajanand's other name. The artisans (tailors, goldsmiths, carpenters, cobblers, etc.) were among the early followers of the Swaminarayana sect. One Lalji, a carpenter by profession who joined the sect in 1804, was elevated to the status of a sadhu with a new name 'Nishkulanand'. Nishkulanand was also a poet and made contibution to sectarian literature and also to the construction of temples. Various types of Rajputs, such as the Jadejas, Jethwas, Garasias, Ahirs and Khachars, joined the sect during the first decade of the nineteenth century. Some of them were feudal chiefs. One Dada khachar of Gadhada (in the present Bhavnagar district) a feudal chief, was the most faithful followers of Sahjanand. In the 1820, Sahajanand shifted with his followers to Gadhada, now a prominent religious centre. The Bhils and the Kolis and the other caste-less tribals also joined the sect. Some Muslims, especially the Khojas, joined the sect. The Khojas were originallyHindus but since their conversion they have been following both the Hindu and the muslim traditions. In the 1930 thirty Khoja families in the Bhavnagar state were the followers of the Swaminarayana sect." What made all these persons to join the sect and what happened to them in the course of a century ? The first part of the question could be answered in terms of sectarian activities, which we shall trace subsequently but it is difficult to answer. Whether this led to any mobility aspirations or not for want of adequate sources. Is this question reluctant for a historian and if so, could any field work have any meaning in studying the problens of the nineteenth century? How can a historian and a social scientist cooperate? The peasant communities joined the Swaminarayana sect, the prominent among whom were the kanbis. At present the term kanbi is derogatory and many kanbis, in the course of a century and a half, have been absorbed into the prestigious Patidar status.? Could this be attributed to their Sectarian affiliation ? The kanbis had various sub-castes, some of whom followed. Hindu as well as Muslim rituals and customs. The kanbis were flesh eaters. Their customs allowed widowmarriage. Sahajanand and his followers were most enthusiastic crusaders against widowmarriage, flesh eating and the A Study of the Swaminarayan sect in Gujarat During the 19th Century] [39 For Private and Personal Use Only

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir use of intoxicating substances, and in fact, emphasized these aspects when they codified the sectarian norms in a book called Shikshapatri in 1826. Though the acquisition of wealth may have been an important factor in their shifting into an upper positional status (as district from structural change which the sects do not allow), their adaptation to the Brahmanic rituals and moral norms may also have been an important factor. But this problem needs a further probe. Similarly we do not know much about the influence of the sect on the various groups of Rajputs, tribals, etc. Bishop Reginald. Heber who met sahajanand in 1825 and later on H.G. Briggs were struck by the "Civilizing" and "Moralizing" influences of the sect on the marauding and predactory" tribes. But beyond this, the information is scanty. How does a "date-bound" historian approach issues ? One of the meaningful lines of investigation is to apply the Noberian construct and examine whether the Swaminarayana sect created any ethic for the expansion of business activities. A study of the social composition of the sect over a fairly long period would be useful in this respect. Sahajanand built up a viable organization for the spread of his sect. He had about 500 sadhus' from different castes. He expected a very high sense of loyalty from them and raised some of them to the status of Paramhamsas, a new cadre created by him. The paramhamsas observed no caste restrictions, ate food from all and kept no sectarian mark on their forhead. The sadhus observed the caste norms. The sadhus and the paramhamsas moved in groups, singing devotional songs accompanied by musical instruments. The sect organisational structure in the 1820s was as follows: At the head of the sect was an Acharya. Only a Brahman could be an Acharya. That Acharya Ramanand had nominated Sahajanand as his successer in the midst of the claims by several contenders shows what traits were expected of an Acharya. Below the Acharya, were the Brahmacharis, sadhus and the palas in that hierarchical order. The function of the first two was to spread the sect. Only a Brahman had the privilege to be a Brahmchari. The sadhus were drawn from various castes, but generally no one below the caste of a Kanbi status could expect to be a sadhu. We do not know about how the caste status was evaluated for the appointment of a sadhu. The palas were recruited from the Koli, Rabari and the artisan groups, and were eligible for promotion as sudhus'. The palas were the servants and attendants of the temples, no untouchable could serve the temples as a pala. In fact the untouchable followers of the sect were not allowed to enter the inner part of the temple. There were two seperate temples for them. Sahajanand was the earliest reformers against the practice of female infanticide and sati in Gujarat. He was a contemporary of Ram Mohan Ray, having a different background and aspirations. The activities of Ram Mohan Ray and Sahajanand and in fact the pattern of socio-cultural movement in Bengal and Gujarat should be viewed in the light of different experiences of the two regions-the regions experienced the western impact at different periods of time and also responded in a different way. While the western intellectual traditions and ideas enabled Ram Mohan Ray to work on a broader [244lu4 : Puli$21642, 2000-7421, 2004 3C] For Private and Personal Use Only

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org compass of social activities, Sahajanand's field of social 'reform' was very narror as he drew his inspiration exclusively from the Hindu religion, Sahajanand preached that a Chaste woman should bear the insults of her husband, should give up ornaments in his absence and should worship him as per good. A window must not marry and should not participate in any auspicious occassion. Apparently these views seem to be inconsistent with his preachings against sati and female infanticide. But in view of the fact that all through his life Sahajanand preached the doctrines of ahmisa with great zeal, his reform movement was a part of the Hindu theological system. The question whether was or was not influenced by a christian sense of piety could be left to a theologion. What is more significant is that both Sahajanand and the English were operating in the same region and on the same social issues, namely, female infanticide and sati. As early as 1809 colonel Alexander walker, while touring through the Saurashtra region (in connection with the land- revenue settlement) had secured an agreement from the various groups of Rajputs not to kill their female infants. The English and Sahajanand had known each other almost since the beginning of the nineteenth Century. The English, spreading the network of their rule, were naturally interested in having the peaceloving natives" who would co-operate in their endeavour to establish new administrative and land revenue systems, and if possible to support them against their formidable rivals. In a way Sahajanand's social activities supported the political ambitions of the English and there did exist emotional bonds between them." Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir In conclusion, we can say that the Swaminarayana sect was of recent original in terms of historical time Sahajanand Swami, the founder of the sect possessed a great charisma and that he spread his sect as much by maintaining rigid religious norms as by creating new social awareness among his followers, He and his sadhus preached him simple language. The sect also developed devotional songs and they were sung alongwith musical instruments. The style of communication, was direct as well as entertaining. That is why the Swaminarayana sect rapidly grew in popularity among the masses. 3. 4. Footnotes 1.

Shah The Present book by Dr. R. P. Shah is a presentation of a subject not much discussed in the field of the theory of literature/Poctics down the ages, namely, the concept and development of a variety of nataka called Mahanataka. At the outset, Dr. Mehta mentions that this subject is treated only by Visvanatha in his Sahityadarpana. Therefore, the presentation by the author in five chapters holds great significance. The first chapter has three sub-sections which discuss the Indian concept of the subject on hand, the corresponding western concept and then contains its comparative treatment. Dr. Mchta introduces the reader to Visvanatha's discussion of the Mahanataka. He notes the characteristics of nataka and the four varieties of Patakasthanas and then mentions that the Mahanataka contains all these. However, it is called so due to its expanse into ten acts and having each and every Patakasthana in it, the conditions that are not fulfilled by the nataka. With this in mind, it is casy for the reader to follow the quotations of the critics of subsequent dates on the subject on hand. He briefly but graMtha-samIkSA] [77

________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir aptly gives the discussions of both Saradatanya and Subandhu on nataka. The next sub-section begins with Oscar Brockett's definition of play. Then are explained the plot, characters, dialogue and other elements of the play in the west lucidly with apt illustrations wherever necessary. The final section presenting the comparative study of both is enlightening. Visvanatha's illustration of Mahanataka, namely, Rajasekhara's Balaramayana, is taken up as the study in the sccond chapter. The Balabharatam of Rajasckhara is critically analysed thereafter. This is followed by the critical study of the play Adbhutadarpana of Mahadeva. The third chapter discusses the Problem of the Hanumannnataka by introducing the reader to both the recensions of the play, namely, that of Damodara Misra with fourteen acts with the same title and that of Madhusudana Misra entitled 'Mahanatakam' with nine acts. After showing the differences between the two, the recension with fourteen acts is critically analysed by applying the conditions required for the play being a Mahanataka. The author reaches the conclusion that this is neither a nataka nor a mahanataka in a very systematic and convincing way. The fourth chapter, namely, the conclusion is the summary of the discussion presented so far. At the end, Dr. Mehta upholds the view of Visvanatha. In the Appendix, he gives a very brief sketch of the six Mahanatakas from 14th century A.D. onwards. Dr. Mehta has donc an excellent work in bringing before the readers a subject untouched by most of the scholars on the field, especially in Hindi. In just 57 pages, he has given a complete picture of the concept of the Mahanataka with illustrations by providing all the available views on the subject with absolute clarity.
