Jayakhya Samhita.

[Guest guest]

dear friend,

 

Nice that you came out with the chapter and verse of the reference sought by

the scholar Sri Martin Gansten.

 

Can either of you please let me know as to where I can procure a copy of the

jayAkhya-samhitA (Sanskrit original) ?

 

I have been looking for it ever since my discovery of the iconography of the

'vaikuNTha-chatur-mUrti' (which was popular in the Gupta period). The most

beautiful iconic rendition (in metal, a rarity in northern India) of this

vaikuNTha is worshipped in the Hari-rAj mandir at the Chamba valley, State

of Himachal Pradesh, India. This had been stolen and spirited away from

the temple some time in 1971 and was about to be smuggled out of the (then)

Bombay airport, when it was discovered and confiscated by the Indian

officials. It was put up on display for a while in the office of the

Archaeological Survey of India, next to the Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, before

being returned to the Chamba valley temple.

 

Best wishes from

Dear Martin, dear Thirumanjanam Sundaram,

sorry for my late reply:

The reference is based on

Jayakhyasamhita, crit. ed. with an introduction in sanskrit, indices,

etc. by Embar Krishnamacharya (Gaekwad Oriental Series 54), Baroda 1931.

Best Ute
