The East Mebon Stele Inscription from Angkor (K. 528). A Sanskrit Eulogy of the tenth-century Khmer Sovereign Rājendravarman , by Dominic Goodall

Māgha, Mahābhārata, and Bhāgavata
In a recent article in JAOS, Y. Bronner and L. McCrea presented cogent argu ments for the authenticity of the "nonbitextual" version of Śiśupāla's speech in the fifteenth canto of Māgha's Śiśupālavadha and concluded that the "bitextual" version of the passage, in which each verse could be read with a double meaning, was a later alteration. Whereas they discussed the issue on the basis of internal criteria, the present article approaches it by mea…
Presenting a Series of Royal Portraits in Fifth-Century Malwa
The Chhoti Sadri inscription of the Mānavāyaṇi king Gauri (490-91 CE) of Malwa is a most unusual specimen of a Sanskrit verse praśasti. Its remarkably poor Sanskrit has attracted the most attention, but its rhetorical structure is also quite abnormal. It is proposed here that such unusual features as the first person presentation and the fronting of subjects with demonstrative pronouns suggest a setting involving an actual, or perhaps only an ima…
The Copper Plates of Helagupta
The article presents a new edition, translation, and interpretation of the inscription, which was previously published by H. Falk in 2014, of the otherwise unknown Buddhist patron Helagupta ( helaüta ). The inscription, datable to the latter half of the first century CE , is recorded on five copper plates and is the second longest one known in Kharoṣṭhī script/Gāndhārī language. This edition proposes several new readings and interpretations as we…

Concatenation in Kālidāsa and Other Sanskrit Poets
Concatenation, that is, the linking of successive verses of a poem by the repetition of the same or similar words, has been discussed by several scholars in relation to Vedic and Prakrit poetry, but other than a ground-breaking article published by W. Schubring in 1955, it has been insufficiently studied in classical Sanskrit kāvya . This article argues that a particular form of concatenation, involving long-distance word repetition across as man…

Aṣṭabhujasvāmin
The Nagarjunakonda stone inscription dated in the reign of the Ābhīra king Vasuṣeṇa presents many problems of interpretation, solutions for some of which are proposed in this article. For example, it has been understood by previous editors as referring to the joint establishment of an image of Aṣṭabhujasvāmin by a group of kings, but in reality it refers to the establishment by a single person, apparently an official of Vasuṣeṇa. The mention of t…
The Men who would be King
A critical examination of dynastic genealogies for pre-Islamic India derived from literary, epigraphic and numismatic sources reveals that they regularly suppress fraternal conflicts and other irregularities in the lineages. Although normative texts such as the Arthasastra and various Dharmasastra treatises present succession by the king’s eldest son as the norm, reading between the lines shows that this principle was often overruled or ignored. …

Buddhist Inscriptions from Termez (Uzbekistan)
Like Father, Like Son
The one-act Sanskrit drama Madhyama-vyāyoga or "The Middle Brother" attributed to Bhāsa describes an oedipal encounter between the Pāndava hero Bhīmasena and his half-demon son Ghatotkaca. The author utilizes subtle techniques of word choice and strategic repetition of key words, particularly sadrśa 'like, similar,' to hint at the underlying similarity of the superficially unlike pair. This keyword technique, which is found only sporadically in S…

Early Tamil Epigraphy
This text presents the earliest South Indian inscriptions (ca. second century bc to sixth century ad), written in Tamil in local derivations of the Ashokan Brahmi script. They are the earliest known Dravidian documents available and show some overlap with the early Cera and Pandya dynasties. Their language is Archaic Tamil, with a few borrowings from Prakrit and influences of old Kannada, both resulting from the early presence of northern Jainism…

The Senior Manuscripts
In 1994 the British Library acquired a collection of twenty-nine fragments of birch bark scrolls containing various Buddhist texts written in Kharosthi script and (Prakrit) language (Salomon 1997). At the time, these were virtually the only known specimens of what must have been a very extensive Gandharan Buddhist literature, with the exception of one other manuscript, namely the famous Gandhari Dharmapada, which had been discovered in 1892 near …

The "Avaca" Inscription and the Origin of the Vikrama Era

The re-interpretation of this inscription enables us to more fully reconstruct the previously obscure dynasty of kings who ruled Apraca or Avaca (modern Bajaur in north-western Pakistan) in the Ist centuries B.C. and A.D. Moreover, the date of the inscription samvatsarae tresathimae 20 20 20 3 maharayasa ayasa atidasa …

An Inscribed Silver Buddhist Reliquary of the Time of King Kharaosta and Prince Indravarman
An unusual silver vessel datable to the late first century B.C. bears six Kharosthi inscriptions which record its successive ownership by the Indo-Scythian rulers Kharaosta and Indravarman and its dedication by the latter as a Buddhist reliquary. The vessel is in two parts, a base and a cover, the latter topped by the figure of a long-horned ibex. In form it is wholly untypical of Buddhist reliquaries and evidently was originally a wine goblet, s…
Epigraphic Remains of Indian Traders in Egypt
A handful of little known fragments of inscriptions in Indian languages and scripts found in Egypt provide epigraphical corroboration for the copious testimony of classical sources about the flourishing trade between India and the Roman Empire. These include three records from the Red Sea port of Quseir, one in Prakrit and two in Old Tamil, whose linguistic and paleographic features point toward South India as the place of origin of the Indian me…
