Abstract:

Abstract The story of the divine flying chariot or palace (vimāna) called Puṣpaka, “little flower”, is well-known from the Vālmīki-Rāmāyaṇa. Created by Brahmā for the god of riches Kubera, the wonderful vimāna is then taken by force by the demon Rāvaṇa. Subsequently, it becomes the property of Rāma, who has defeated Rāvaṇa in the war and who uses the chariot to fly back within a day from Laṅkā to Ayodhyā. Puṣpaka has three main functions in the text: narrative – it allows the poet to wind up his story and achieve a quick change of scene, once the war description is over; psychological – Puṣpak

Abstract:

The title of this brief essay is an echo of the title of a book once famous, nowadays almost forgotten: M. S. Purnalingam Pillai, Ravana the Great: King of Lanka (Munnirpallam, 1928). The same author, in his better-known Tamil Literature (1929) wrote: “The ten-faced and twenty-armed Ravana was apparently a very intelligent and valiant hero, a cultured and highly civilized ruler, knew the Vedas and was an expert musician. He took away Sita according to the Tamilian mode of warface, had her in the Asoka woods companioned by his own niece, and would not touch her unless she consented.” With this

Abstract:

A close reading of the Uttarakāṇḍa of Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa demonstrates that its author has composed a carefully and logically structured work, one that is haunted by themes of sexual transgression. Not only is the first half of the kāṇḍa occupied with the history and genealogy of Rāvaṇa, who is no less than the sexual predator par excellence, but its latter half tells of Rāma’s seemingly heart-wrenching decision to banish Sītā based on rumours of her own supposed infidelity. Similar themes are reflected in a number of the kāṇḍa’s sub-stories—both those that are understood to be part of the main

Abstract:

Mrs. Jacob has provided us with a translation, for the first time in English, of the most important text in classical Cambodian literature, with an introduction and critical notes and lists, which will be of great help to anyone studying the Cambodian text. The Cambodian Rāmāyaṇa was composed anonymously by at least three authors over three centuries, and is divided into two parts. The earliest writer, of the sixteenth century, accounts for about a fifth of the first part, covering the main events of the Bālakāṇḍa and Ayodhyakāṇḍa. It was continued in the seventeenth century with the story up

Abstract:

Abstract Among extant sites of stone sutras in China, Mount Gang stands out because of the visuality it creates and the experience it affords. This paper explores how the carving and subsequent placement of an interpolated prologue of the Laṅkāvatāra Sutra across many rocks on the mountain conduce to a multi-sensorial, immersive experience for visitors to contemplate the sutra doctrine of Consciousness Only. It shows that tactics applied to the stone inscriptions induce an onward and upward journey over Mount Gang. Moreover, they conjure Laṅkā while simultaneously negating its existence, as th

Abstract:

It can be said that Aṅgulīyāṅkam and Mantrāṅkam represent the essential features that distinguish Kūṭiyāṭṭam from the other traditions of performance and challenge the norms of abhinaya prescribed in Nāṭyaśāstra and allied texts. Though these plays are vastly dissimilar in theme, scope, and content, the possible correspondences of these two plays as interpretations-in-performance place them in a complementary relationship to one another. Why and how these two plays established a different path is what the author explores during the course of her article. The sixth act of Śaktibhadras Āścaryacū
