The Textual History of Kavikumārāvadāna : The relations between the main texts, editions and translations
- 2013
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study consists of three main parts. Part I contains introductory matter and a presentation of the manuscript material which contains stories about Kavikumāra, one of the Buddha’s earlier lives, and a rough classification of the material. Part II contains editions and translations of some of the texts containing this story and in addition one text which is the source of a part of one text. Part III contains summaries and analyses of the main texts.Part I begins with a characterization of the avadāna literature genre followed by definitions of some terms used and a characterization of the texts treated in this study. All the known texts containing a story about Kavikumāra and their manuscript sources are enumerated.In Part II editions of some of the texts mentioned in Part I are found. Different types of editions and the relations of those types with my editions are treated. The characteristics of some of the manuscripts are described. The edition of the Tibetan translation of a part of the Sanghabhedavastu of the Mūlasarvāstivādavinaya is used as a check on Gnoli’s edition of the Sanskrit text, which is translated. The central part of this study is the synoptic editions of chapter 26 of Kalpadrumāvadānamālā and a prose paraphrase of the text and their translations. Critical editions of two more Tibetan texts and a diplomatic edition of two Sanskrit texts are also given.In Part III summaries of and comparisons between three of the main texts containing stories about Kavikumāra are made. The structure of the text in Kalpadrumāvadānamālā is described and the sources for the different parts are indicated. This text has been chosen for analysis because it is the earliest text which incorporates all the parts which are found in later texts containing the story. The relations of an extremely fragmentary text with the other texts are treated. A comparison of the stories about Kavikumāra and the Hero Story is made. The conclusion summarizes the main findings.

The Town Plan of Jaipur : Its Sources and Narrations
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Jaipur’s town plan has been the subject of a multitude of suggestions regarding its origin. Jaipur was founded by Jaisingh II in 1727, and has since then been the capital of the State of Rajasthan, India. The city, which remains almost intact in respect of its foundation scheme, is laid out according to a plan with straight streets of varying breadths, residential blocks for different occupational groups, a palace complex and an astronomical observatory in the middle of the city. Such wellplanned cities are rarely found in northern India. In contrast to the absence of excavated planned cities, there are a number of treatises dealing with town planning, which provide detailed instructions for siting and arranging cities. Therefore many have sought the origin of the ground plan of Jaipur among the plans described in Hindu technical literature on architecture and town-planning. Jaisingh also had intensive contacts with Europeans, especially during the years preceeding the foundation of the city. As a result some have taken European town plans as their starting-point in their attempt to find sources of influence. In addition, Jaisingh’s deep interest in astronomy seems to have played a central role in the design of the city.The present study discusses specific features of the traditions of rulership and education in the Amber House. These traditions included elements of the religious and philosophical sphere of Hinduism, as well as more recent traditions of the Kachvåhå rulers, who had adopted a great deal from the Mughals. After a description of the process of the layout, the town plans that have been proposed as models for Jaipur are presented and discussed in the light of the circumstances under which various beliefs about the model for Jaipur have emerged.The arrangement of the urban space and the actions of Jaisingh are analysed in an interpretive chapter. Two principle objects of examination in this chapter are the concepts of religion and political power as they are connected with the kingship. Approaching the kingship from the religious perspective, the king is deified. Approaching the kingship from the perspective of political power, the king is proclaimed universal emperor. The town plan of Jaipur is analysed as an expression of these two approaches.
