Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Dear list members, I happened to open at random the translation of Abhinavagupta's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita by Boris Marjanovic at chapter 6 verse 18, and I"m wondering if Abhinvagupta's commentary to that verse is the oldest record we have of textual criticism :-) . jagarataH - ityAdi muneH pramaNatvAdredavat | evamanyAtrapi | which is translated as: Although the word jAgarataH is grammatically incorrect (the correct form is jAgrata ), it should be taken as correct because this is written by the sage vyAsa whose writing like vedic texts is the highest authority . The same should be understood in other such cases. Best, Harry Harry Spier 371 Brickman Rd. Hurleyville, New York USA 12747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
