Studies in the Kasikavrtti. The Section on Pratyaharas

Description

Contains a critical edition, English translation and essays on the initial section of the Kasikavrtti, the oldest complete commentary on the Astadhyayi of Panini.

The volume is the first outcome of an international project aiming towards a complete critical edition of the Kasikavrtti (7th c. CE) of Jayaditya and Vamana, the oldest surviving complete commentary on the Astadhyayi of Panini (ca. 4th c. BCE). The first phase, culminating in the critical edition of the Kasika’s initial section devoted to the Pratyaharasutras, the ‘rules for abbreviations’, was jointly coordinated by the editors together with Professor Saroja Bhate (Pune), a Paninian scholar of global renown. The first part of the volume presents the critical edition of the Pratyaharasutra section by Bhate, Haag and Vergiani, along with a description of the manuscripts collated, an annotated English translation by the editors, and the editors’ contributions dealing with the history of the Kasikavrtti’s editions and the currently available textual sources, as well as the methodology and results of the first phase of the project. In the second part, various authors discuss theoretical, historical and methodological topics ranging from the historical importance of the Kasika and its relation with the seminal Mahabhasya of Patanjali, to a comparison with the corresponding section in the Candavrtti, the evidence of Bhartrhari’s influence on the Kasika, and the copyists’ invocations and the incipit attested in the Kasikavrtti manuscripts.

This volume is the outcome of a project that was frst
undertaken in the framework of a programme funded by the
French Centre national de la recherche
scientifque/Ministry of Education and Research (Action concertée incitative
“grammaire et mathématiques dans le monde indien”),
originally involving several institutions (École pratique des hautes
études, Paris; Facoltà di Studi Orientali, Università La
Sapienza, Rome; Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Pune). It
could not have been achieved without the fnancial support
of the Society for South-Asian Studies, London, the Centre
d’études de l’Inde et de l’Asie du Sud (UMR-8564 C.N.R.S/
E.H.E.S.S.), Paris, and the École française d’Extrême-Orient,
which allowed some of the European participants to travel
to India in order to collect manuscripts and work with their
Indian colleagues. Moreover, part of the funds granted by
Europaid (Co-operation Offce) of the E.U. in 2005-2006 for
the project “For an ITC Archeology of Ancient Indian Texts”
were allotted to the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute
and the Facoltà di Studi Orientali, Università La Sapienza
(Rome) for their collaboration in the project of a critical
edition of the Kāśikāvṛtti. It is our pleasant duty to thank them all
for their generous support.
We are also grateful to the many friends and colleagues
who have provided us with their precious advice, their ā
