Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 This new book on the very much neglected Paippalâda version of the Atharvaveda has just reached me : ------------- Abhijit Ghosh (ed.) Âtharvaná A collection of essays on the AtharvaVeda with special reference to its Paippalâda tradition Kolkata: Sanskrit Book Depot (June?) 2002 Rs. 375, $ 25 ; pp. 198 [Publ.: Abhoy Barman, 28/1 Bidhan Sarani, Kolkata 700 006] Contains papers by T.N. Adhikari, S.S. Bahulkar, D. Bhattacharya, V.A. van Bijlert, S.C. Chakrabarti, A. Ghosh, A. Griffiths, C.G. Kashikar, N. R. Kulkarni, J.A. Moleanu, K. Mylius, S.P. Narang, H.C. Patyal, G.U. Thite, K.B. Upadhyaya, M. Witzel. Several of them deal with editing the PS and the multifarious problems encountered with understanding this difficult, second oldest Indian text. Recommended as an introduction to current (Paipp.) Athavaveda studies.
