Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 The SahyAdrikhaNDa, as found in J. Gerson da Cunha's 1877 edition, is most obviously a very late addition to the SkandapurANa. It is not found in the older mss of the SP. Since the SahyAdrikhaNDa contains chapters extolling certain Brahmin groups (like the SArasvata Brahmins of Konkan) and demeaning other Brahmin groups (particularly the Chitpavans and the Karhade Brahmins), there is enough evidence in Marathi sources indicating various groups adding or removing different chapters from the text, and the Peshwas of Maharashtra (who were Chitpavan Brahmins) destroying the copies of this text and punishing those Brahmins who possessed copies of the text. The abusive narratives in SahyAdrikhaNDa against Chitpavan and KarhADe Brahmins are so violent, the Marathi translator of the SKh, Mr. Gajanan Gayatonde, omits these passages from his translation in his 1971 edition. I have discussed this text and its politics in a forthcoming article (in German) "Panca-GauDa und Panca-DrAviDa. Umstrittene Grenzen einer traditionellen Klassifikation", appearing in a volume being published from Halle in Germany.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Here is a reference to a text-critical study of the SahyAdrikhaNDa: Levitt, Stephan Hillyer, 1977, "The SahyAdrikhaNDa: Some Problems Concerning a Text-Critical Edition of a Puranic Text." In the journal PuraaNa, vol. 19, no. 1, pp. 8-40. Best, Madhav Deshpande INDOLOGY, Manuel "Magalhães" <omoplata2> wrote: > Where can I find some information on the > sahyAdrikhaNDa?
