A Rajput from the Deccan: Shivaji’s Discursive Identities
This article explores Shivaji’s use of Braj Bhasha poetry to construct and assert his identity in the furtherance of his royal consecration and realisation of his geopolitical ambitions. Departing from the cultural environment of Deccani sultanates with their established patronage of Dakani and Persian, Shivaji employed Braj to appeal to Hindu aristocracy, most notably Rajput chiefs, linking himself genealogically to the Sisodia Rajputs. Śivrājbh…
The Transition of Nagaravarṇana in Brajbhasha Literature. Exploring Genre and Patronage in the Eighteenth Century
The paper examines two mid-18th century poems, Sujān vilās and Dīrghnagarvarṇan, composed in Brajbhasha (Braj Bhasha) by Somnāth, at the then recently established court of the Jat rulers. It focuses on the description of the city, i.e. nagaravarṇana convention rooted in Sanskrit poetics and common in Sanskrit kāvya literature, further adopted by the authors belonging to the courtly ornate poetry of the Hindi literary tradition. In Somnāth’s works…
Utwory literackie w lwowskim „Wieku Młodym” (1893–1904)
Przeprowadzono analizę ilościową i jakościową utworów literackich publikowanych w „Wieku Młodym” – lwowskim piśmie dla dzieci i młodzieży z przełomu XIX i XX w. Ustalono, że około 180 czynnych autorów pochodziło nie tylko z Galicji, ale także z innych zaborów lub przebywało na emigracji. Publikowana literatura cechowała się dużym zróżnicowaniem gatunkowym (powieści, opowiadania, wiersze, utwory dramatyczne). „Wiek Młody” miał wymowę patriotyczną.…

Indian Vernacular History-writing and Its Ideological Engagement: A Contemporary Account on Shivaji’s Visit to Agra (1666) in Brajbhāṣā Verse
Indian Vernacular History-writing and Its Ideological Engagement: A Contemporary Account on Shivaji’s Visit to Agra (1666) in Brajbhāṣā Verse The visit of Shivaji Bhosle at Aurangzeb’s court in 1666 is a famous subject of modern historical and popular accounts. A contemporary relation of this event is to be found in vernacular poetry, which according to the Western understanding of traditional history should not be considered factually reliable. …
Watch Out, Pun: Śleṣa in Brajbhasha Courtly Literature
The paper examines several instances of the use of śleṣa in a 17th-century Braj poem commissioned by Shivaji Bhosle and composed in the Deccan. The subject of analysis is viewed from two perspectives: of the text’s genre (rītigranth) and the equivalence between the objects of comparison. To this end, the study brings into focus, on one hand, the issue of striking explicitness vis-à-vis deliberate unveiling of double meaning by the poet, and on th…
Recognition through Traditional Values. A Literary Representation of dāna* as an Essential Way of Boosting Royal Worthiness
The present article is focused on the notion of dāna and its use in Śivrājbhūṣaṇ, a late 17th-century rītigranth composed by Bhūṣaṇ in the court of Śivājī Bhoṃsle, shortly before the coronation. The ruler had it composed in Braj, a vernacular that had already risen to the status of a transregional language. The poem, which used to be reduced by literary historians to a simple panegyric, belongs to South Asian early modern court literature, the au…
The Reliable Poem. A 17th-century Hindi Poet in his Words
The article is devoted to the 17th-century poet Bhushan, author of Śivarājabhūṣaṇa, a rītigranth most probably commissioned by the emerging Maratha ruler Shivaji Bhonsle. The existing histories of Hindi literature provide multiple accounts on the life of the poet, often calling them the hearsay tradition. Although many of them are drawn from a Maratha chronicle (bakhar), a proper study on the source of such accounts is still lacking. One more sou…
