Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the Imperial Maukhari of Kanauj and Harshavardhana is an innovative history of the Maukharis, which, for the first time, brings to light a glory that was overshadowed by Harsha of Thanesar, whose ancestors were their feudatories. Harsha usurped the Maukhari Empire on the pretext of avenging the murder of his brother-in-law Grahavarma Maukhari and his own older brother Rajyavardhana. But obviously, he did nothing to defeat them, especially the murderer of his brother Sasanka, who ruled for more than nineteen years after the incident. It is also interesting to note that Yuan Chwang, the most important source of the history of Harsha’s time visited his capital Thanesar, but did not notice anything related to Harsha there. This reflects the authenticity of the Chinese pilgrim. A treatise of facts dovetailed with inscriptive narratives from historic accounts, this book tries to uncover the times and glory of an empire that history books mostly left out of its narrative.

Book excerpt: The World of the Skandapurāṇa explores the historical, religious and literary environment that gave rise to the composition and spread of this early Purana text devoted to Siva. It is argued that the text originated in circles of Pasupata ascetics and laymen, probably in Benares, in the second half of the 6th and first half of he 7th centuries. The book describes the political developments in Northern India after the fall of the Gupta Empire until the successor states which arose after the death of king Harsavardhana of Kanauj in the second half of the 7th century. The work consists of two parts. In the first part the historical environment in which this Purāṇa was composed is described. The second part explores six localities in Northern India that play a prominent role in the text. It is richly illustrated and contains a detailed bibliography and index.

Download or read book Holy Ground Where Art and Text Meet written by Hans T. Bakker and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 31 selected and revised articles in the volume Holy Ground: Where Art and Text Meet, written by Hans Bakker between 1986 and 2016, vary from theoretical subjects to historical essays on the classical culture of India. They combine two mainstreams: the Sanskrit textual tradition, including epigraphy, and the material culture as expressed in works of religious art and iconography. The study of text and art in close combination in the actual field where they meet provides a great potential for understanding. The history of holy places is therefore one of the leitmotivs that binds these studies together. One article, "The Ramtek Inscriptions II", was co-authored by Harunaga Isaacson, two articles, on "Moksadharma 187 and 239–241" and "The Quest for the Pasupata Weapon," by Peter C. Bisschop.

Download or read book Mapping the P upata Landscape written by Elizabeth A. Cecil and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mapping the Pāśupata Landscape: Narrative, Place, and the Śaiva Imaginary in Early Medieval North India, Elizabeth A. Cecil explores the sacred geography of the earliest community of Śiva devotees called the Pāśupatas. This book brings the narrative cartography of the Skandapurāṇa into conversation with physical landscapes, inscriptions, monuments, and icons in order to examine the ways in which Pāśupatas were emplaced in regional landscapes and to emphasize the use of material culture as media through which notions of belonging and identity were expressed. By exploring the ties between the formation of early Pāśupata communities and the locales in which they were embedded, this study reflects critically upon the ways in which community building was coincident with place-making in Early Medieval India.
