Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hi group. Could someone mention the most important scholars who have treated the question of the bardic method underlying the Bharata, in anything like the same way that the school of Parry and Lord have done for Homer?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Phillip You might take a look Mary Caroll Smith's The Warrior Code in India's Sacred Song (Garland Publishing, New York& London, 1992), a study of the trishtubh verses of the Mahabharata. She explores the formulaic contruction of the epic by examining the distinct trishtubh lines (regular vs. irregular ). She concludes that this core of trishtubh verses is the old nucleus of the Epic. ********************************************** mAtipraakSIH mA te mUrdhA vyapatat "Do not over ask or your head will shatter apart" ********************************************** Dr. Carlos Lopez Visiting Assistant Professor Religious Studies Department Willamette University Eaton 112 (503) 370-6682 clopez <clopez ********************************************* INDOLOGY, phillip.ernest@v... wrote: > > Hi group. > > Could someone mention the most important scholars who have treated the question > of the bardic method underlying the Bharata, in anything like the same way > that the school of Parry and Lord have done for Homer? > > Phillip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
