The Vaiyākaraṇasiddhantabhuṣaṇa of Kauṇḍabhaṭṭa with the Nirañjanī commentary by Ramyatna Shukla and Prakāśa explanatory notes by K.V. Ramakrishnamacharyulu. Part I; Critically edited by K.V. Ramakrishnamacharyulu Vaiyākaraṇasiddhāntabhūṣaṇa, also known as Vaiyākaraṇabhūṣaṇa, is an authentic text in Pāṇinian semantics. It is a commentary on the Vaiyākaraṇamatonmajjana compiled by the great grammarian Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita (17th c.), and is written by KauṇḌabhaṭṭa, the nephew of Bhaṭṭoji. The main intention is to refute the objections raised by Naiyāyikas and Mīmāṃsakas on various aspects of Pāṇinian semantics and to establish the grammarians’ views on the subject. Vaiyākaraṇasiddhānta-bhūṣaṇasāra, an abridged version of the Vaiyākaraṇa-bhūṣaṇa, also written by KauṇḌabhaṭṭa, is the more famous text with more than ten commentaries written on it. Studies on Madhva’s Viṣṇutattvanirṇaya by Roque Mesquita Madhva was an enigmatic personality in the Indian intellectual world of the early thirteenth century, not least because he developed a new selfcontained Vedāntic System which had no links to any existing traditions. Viṣṇutattvanirṇaya is one of the best and greatest in length among Madhva’s ten works (daśaprakaraṇa-granthas). It enjoyed a high status among the works of Madhva and most probably belonged to his last written texts. As such it displays Madhva’s fully developed and mature teaching. This book gives an analytical outline of the text’s literary composition providing a survey of the topics discussed therein and furnishing at the same time the background of these topics. The purpose of these studies is to draw the attention of English-speaking scholars and students to the philosophical and theological system of Madhva, which in close accordance with the idea of analogia entis is intimately based on a twofold nature, namely on the concept of svatantra and paratantra.

This vol., illustrated with nearly 200 vivid images, offers a new, indepth look at the Pushtimarg and its rich aesthetic traditions. The authors deftly examine how pichvais were and still are used in the seasonal and daily veneration of Shrinathji, an aspect of Krishna as a child who is the chief deity of the temple town of Nathdwara in Rajasthan.

The principal works that have emerged from our stimulating projecton ‘Early Tantra’ are critical editions and translations of previously unpublished primary material, which have begun to appear in this new series. This volume complements those publications by gathering together some of the fruits, direct and indirect, of the wide-ranging discussions that took place during the project’s workshops. By way of introduction, the volume opens with an attempt by the editors to draw together our findings about the “shared ritual syntax” of some of the earliest known works of the tantric traditions, with a particular emphasis on the Buddhist Mañjuśriyamūlakalpa and the ›aiva Niśvāsatattvasaṃhitā.

The article in the first section, Alternate Paradigms of Knowledge, deals with evolution of categories in the Indian context. The next article on Indriyas is concerned with the question of the sense perceptions in the Indian tradition. In another major section, the focus is on Śiva, Śiva as represented in architecture and sculpture and Śiva as was manifested in a major exhibition curated by Stella Kramrisch in Philadelphia. In another section the focus shifts from Śiva to Krishna, and similarly traces the history of the representation of Krishna in the Indian arts through sculpture and paintings from sources ranging from the Bhagavatapuråƒa to the multiple traditions of miniature paintings.

The Narthang edition of the Tibetan Kanjur was initiated by Pho-lha-nas at an auspicious moment on 5 October 1730. The engraving of the xylographs was begun on the basis of the old Narthang edition which was handwritten during the years 1312- 1320. This edition was supplemented by the catalogues of Tshal-pa, Bu-ston and others. The engraving was completed on 21 February 1732. In the middle of 1733 the first xylographed set was presented to the Panchen Lama for his blessings. Its printing blocks were deposited in the Narthang monastery, where they were preserved till recently. The blocks have been destroyed in the political upheavals of the Chinese occupation. As the xylographs have perished, the set has become extremely rare. The Narthang edition was the first to be analysed into English by Alexander Csoma de Koros. His ‘Analysis’ appeared in 1836-39. In this first ever attempt to survey the vast Tibetan Buddhist Canon, he opened up vistas of the treasures of art and thought, literature and philosophy, grammar and lexicography, medicine and metallurgy, astronomy and alchemy and other branches of learning of India hidden in the Tibetan language. This ‘Analysis’ became a foundation for the interpretation of another discipline: the Chinese translations of Sanskrit texts could now be correlated to their original Sanskrit titles. Since then this edition has been a must for the understanding of Tibetan Buddhism. The Narthang Kanjur has seven major divisions: Vinaya, Prajñā-pāramitā, Ratnakūṭa. Avataṁsaka, Sūtra, Parinirvāṇa and Tantra.

S. Bahulkar, Lata Mahesh Deokar & M. A. Deokar The Vṛttamālāstuti or “Praise in the Form of a Garland of Metres Counted by Syllables” is a unique piece of literature composed by Jñānaśrīmitra, who taught Buddhist philosophy and other subjects at the university of Vikramaśīla in the first half of the 11th century. This work illustrates 150 metres in the form of a hymn, as indicated by its title. The addressee is the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī. With great ingenuity Jñānaśrīmitra manages to include the name of each metre in the respective stanza in such a manner that it becomes a natural part of the praise of Mañjuśrī. Some of the names of the metres have no independent meaning. The author therefore uses various devices so that those words can fit in the praise of Mañjuśrī. The commentary (Vivṛti) is a most welcome aid for understanding the intricacies of Jñānaśrīmitraís composition. Deshana (Pune) & Aditya Prakashan (New Delhi), 2016, 177p., bib., 23cm.

Tiwari, Devendra Nath et al.: Language, being and cognition: philosophy of language and analysis; contemporary perspective. ― Guwahati, Astha Pub., 2014, xxxii+478p., ind., 25cm. ISBN 9781634159401 ¥ 2,160 Viṣṇutattvanirṇaya is one of the best and greatest in works length among Madhva’s ten (daśaprakaraṇa-granthas). This book gives an analytical outline of the text’s literary composition providing a survey of the topics discussed therein and furnishing at the same time the background of these topics, and will draw the attention of English speaking scholars to the philosophical and theological system of Madhva. Based on infusion with thought, analysis of concepts as they flash or figure in by language are remarkable contributions of the book in the field of philosophy proper. It is of high interest of academia to find a philosophy here in this book for which philosophical reflections are not only based on but are confined to the intelligible being of language and meaning. The book works out nicely with the powers of language. 15.
