This book features a salient discovery in Sanskrit narrative text: just as the MaÌrkanÌ£dÌ£eya PuraÌnÌ£a houses the DeviÌMaÌhaÌtmya glorifying the Indian Great Goddess, DurgaÌ, it also houses a SuÌrya MaÌhaÌtmya, glorifying the supremacy of the Sun, SuÌrya, in much the same manner. The author argues the maÌhaÌtmyas of the MaÌrkanÌ£dÌ£eya PuraÌnÌ£a were meaningfully and purposefully positioned there, while previous scholarship has considered this haphazard interpolation for sectarian aims. The book demonstrates that deliberate compositional strategies make up the Saura-SÌaÌkta symbiosis that can be found in these mirrored maÌhaÌtmyas. Moreover, the author explores the 'dharmic double helix' of Brahmanism, most explicitly articulated by the structural opposition between pravrÌ£tti (worldly) and nivrÌ£tti (other worldy) dharmas. The first narrative study of the SuÌrya MaÌhaÌtmya, along with the first study of the MaÌrkanÌ£dÌ£eya PuraÌnÌ£a (or any PuraÌnÌ£a), as a narrative whole, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of Religion, South Asian Studies, Goddess Studies, Narrative Theory and Comparative Mythology"-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a In English; includes some Sanskrit text and translations. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [143]-152) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : the turning tide of scholarship -- Synchronic strategy : transcending diachronic dissection -- Mirrored MaÌhaÌmtyas : Saura-SÌaÌkta symbiosis in the MaÌrkanÌ£dÌ£eya PuraÌnÌ£a -- The story of SamÌ£jnÌaÌ : mother of Manu, threshold of tradition -- Mapping MaÌrkanÌ£dÌ£eya : synchronic surveillance of The MaÌrkanÌ£dÌ£eya PuraÌnÌ£a -- Conclusion : paragons of preservation : goddess, sun, king. 600 00 $a DurgaÌ $c (Hindu deity) $x Cult. 600 00 $a SuÌrya $c (Hindu deity) $x Cult. 600 07 $a DurgaÌ $c (Hindu deity) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00899573 600 07 $a SuÌrya $c (Hindu deity) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01141527 630 00 $a Puranas. $p DeviÌmaÌhaÌtmya $p DeviÌmaÌhaÌtmya $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 630 00 $a Puranas. $p SaÌmbapuraÌnÌ£a $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 630 07 $a Puranas. $p DeviÌmaÌhaÌtmya $p DeviÌmaÌhaÌtmya $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01361522 630 07 $a Puranas. $p SaÌmbapuraÌnÌ£a $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01374535 650 0 $a Hindu mythology. 650 7 $a Cults. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00884980 650 7 $a Hindu mythology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01729920 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a RoutledgeCurzon Hindu studies series 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010712.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B6C7E7C2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
