Devotion divine

The Great Road from Surat to Agra through Malwa
Jean Deloche in a series of valuable publications has given an overall view of the Indian road network in the period up to about 1820 when the general pacification that followed the collapse of the Maratha kingdom gave British engineers the chance to transform the communications of India, first with military roads and later with railways. This transformation was nowhere more complete than in Central India and particularly in Malwa, the Mughal sub…

Dattātreya
The object of this brief account is primarily to make available the Mahānubhāva evidence on Dattātreya-most of which, where it is published at all, is published in Marathi. The little written on the subject in the West is either out-dated or extremely sketch, and fails to distinguish between what is said of Dattātreya in the early Mahānubhāva texts and the tales of the later material. At the same time it is necessary to provide some kind of conte…
Two eighteenth-century Marathi manuscripts
The following two Mahānubhāva manuscripts in Marathi were recently presented to the author in Aurangabad and have been deposited in the library of the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. Since they are written mainly in sakaḷa script (see my 'The Mahānubhāva sakaḷa lipī', BSOAS, xxxiii, 2, 1970, 328-34) and between them contain several Mahānubhāva works, they are worth describing in some detail
A Note on the ‘Twelve Mavals’ of Poona District
A maval is the generic name for one of the fertile river valleys which run east from the watershed of the Western Ghats in the Poona District of Maharashtra. They are called mavals only so long as they are fairly narrow and enclosed between the many spurs which run east from the summit crest of the Ghats and they end roughly at a line drawn north-south just short of Poona city itself, so that the whole belt of country west of Poona, about 25 mile…
The Mahānubhāvas
The Mahānubhāvas are a Hindu sect whose members are largely concentrated in northern and eastern Maharashtra, between the old districts of Khandesh and Nagpur, while they are strongest of all in Berar. In many respects they have a rather marginal place in the culture of Maharashtra today. Unlike the Vārkarīpantha, the much more celebrated and popular Vaiṣṇava sect, they are centred on a backwoods area. They tend to gather inmaṭhas(monasteries) in…
The Mahānubhāva Sakaḷa Lipī
It has been known for many years that the Mahānubhāvas used ciphers for the transmission of much of their religious literature in Marathi. They devised a number of such ciphers which are known in the sect by names such as sakaḷa, sundarī, anka lipī, etc., but of all these sakala lipī is by far the commonest-no doubt because its extreme simplicity commended it to the scribes. Its invention is traditionally ascribed to Ravalovyāsa, the author of Sa…
Early Prose Fiction in Marathi, 1828-1885
Literary prose is a late developer in the history of any language and in Marathi, as for most other Indian languages, it does not appear in any significant quantity until the middle of the nineteenth century when the influence of English was beginning to transform a hitherto almost exclusively verse tradition. Before this the use of prose is limited to commentaries, to a few hagiographical works of the Mahānubhāv sect written in the late thirteen…
The Pāṇuranga-māhātmya of Śrīdhar
Between 1690 and 1720 Śridhar narrated in simple Marathi verse nearly all the basic, perennial stories of the Indian tradition: the epics in Rāmavijaya and Pāṇḍava-pratāpa, the essential puranic tales in Harivijaya and Śivalīlāmṛta. As a consequence he is still read very widely by the devout
Marathi kinship terms, a lexicographical study
A Bibliographical Index of Mahānubhāva Works in Marathi
The two principal obstacles to the study of the older forms of Marathi language and literature are the shortage of definitive texts of early works and the dearth of critical bibliographies from which one might discover what texts are available and in what form they exist. Date's Marāṭhī-grantha-sūc ̄ is of course invaluable for anything published before 1937, but even this work is not exhaustive and the idiosyncrasies of its arrangement according…
