SV: [Y-Indology] Authorship of Uttara Kanda

[Guest guest]

Looking at the statistics, I would say that we are unable to draw any

conclusions regarding this. Authorship studies depend upon much more than

this kind of variation, where we are only dealing with one particular letter

(or is it the particle ha?) The variation may simply be due to chance. Even

one writer may show some variability in his/her language.

 

Best regards,

[Y-Indology] Authorship of Uttara Kanda

 

 

| There is an impression that in Valmiki Ramayana the Bala Kanda and

| Uttara Kanda are later additions.

| Or at least the Uttara Kanda.

|

| While reading the Uttara Kanda I noticed a preponderance of the letter ha.

Therefore I gathered some statistical data from the first 1000 verses of

Bala Kanda, Ayodhya Kanda, Sundara Kanda and Uttara Kanda. Though I have

some data about the usage of ch, vai, tu and hi, it is a matter opinion

whether they are superfluous or not. But regarding the usage of ha, it is

evident that it is just to make the line full and it is not a meaningful

addition. Therefore can it be attributed to a different authorship? I am

giving below what I have gathered. This is open for discussion. Probably

some others might have done a similar exercise.
