Index Verborum der Paippalādasaṃhitā und der Śaunakasaṃhitā des Atharvaveda: Teil 1 - AVP → AVŚ
Get PDFThe present indices verborum of Atharvaveda began in 2015 with the inclusion of words from Kāṇḍas 8 and 9 (Kim 2014) and in subsequent years from Kāṇḍas 1 (Zehnder 1993), 2 (Zehnder 1999), 3 (Spiers 2020 unpubl.), 5 (Lubotsky 2002), 6-7 (Griffiths 2009), 13-14 (Lopez 2010), 15 (Lelli 2020), 17.1-6 (Selva 2014 unpubl.), 17.12-15 and 17.21-43 (Selva 2019 unpubl.) and 20.1-30 (Kubisch 2012). The AVP and AVŚ words that the author encountered in private readings (Kāṇḍa 16) and in lessons (Kāṇḍas 1) were also included. During the DFG project “Eine neue Edition des zweitältesten indischen Textes, der Śaunakasaṃhitā des Atharvaveda nebst der Erstellung eines Index verborum der Paippalādasaṃhitā und Śaunakasaṃhitā” (2018-2021), all words from the AVŚ (see: https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-277038) and also the words from the AVP parallel passages were included. In the second phase of the project (01.2022-05.2023, funded by the DFG), the words from Kāṇḍa 11, 12, 19 and 20 of the Paippalādasaṃhitā were entered into the index. Bhattacharya's editions from 1997 to 2016 (as well as Bhattacharyya 1964 and 1970) were always taken into account when adding the lemmas. Most recently, the edits of Kāṇḍa 1 (revised by Zehnder 1993), Kāṇḍa 4 and Kāṇḍa 12 of the “Paippalāda Recension of the Atharvaveda. Online Edition (beta). https://www.atharvavedapaippalada.uzh.ch/” [visited, January 2024] was included in the present index, although it had already been completed.
In order to achieve as reliable an emendation as possible in the numerous difficult or corrupt passages, reference was made to my data collection of pronunciation and spelling errors in the Orissa Mss. (94 pages, unpubl.) and in the Kashmiri manuscript (109 pages, unpubl.), which enabled a statistical evaluation of the erroneous syllables according to their frequency. Unfortunately, not all cases are represented in the database, so that numerous passages are still open to discussion.
AnnouncementTwo word indexes of the Atharvaveda are being published here. They are based on the Paippalāda edition (in press, at Würzburg) by Jeong Soo Kim and the standard Atharvaveda edition (Roth-Whitney-Lindenau).The first word index lists the words of the Śaunaka Saṃhitā (AVŚ, AV) with their locations in AVŚ; the second index lists the words of the Paippalāda Saṃhitā (AVP, PS) with their locations in AVP.
This publication had been planned and agreed on for publication in the Harvard Oriental Series (Vol.101 sqq.) years ago. However, due to my retirement from Harvard in September 2022, the current chair of the Department of South Asian Studies, Parimal Patil, and his tenured colleagues have abruptedly taken away my editorship (HOS 50-100) and have stopped all publications for the foreseeable future. In this situation, S.J. Kim and I have opted for publishing his important work in EJVS. Pacta sunt servanda.We hope that this publication will further Atharvaveda Studies and Vedic studies in general, and beyond this (comparative) linguistic studies.

Waiting: Social Meanings of Immobility in Kathmandu, Nepal
No full textThis research note looks closely at transnational mobility as a lived experience in the city of Kathmandu, Nepal. It sheds light on the lives of aspirant migrants to show how uncertainties around mobility shape their everyday lives in the city, whereby immobility is not juxtaposed against mobility but is rather interwoven with it. Here, waiting for news about vacancies from the local agent, waiting to get selected for an interview, waiting to bid farewell to their families and waiting to return to them conditions the ebbs and flows of their mobile, working lives. It shows that waiting, as experienced by the migrants, can have different subjective tonalities. While it may be experienced in an emotionally neutral manner, as periods of inactivity around which their everyday routine is designed, it could also be perceived as a failure to meet gendered and familial expectations. Disturbing the productivitist association of waiting with inactivity, many migrants also view their period of employment abroad (activity) as an extended period of waiting, around which their life course is outlined. These differing perceptions of waiting provide interesting ethnographic insights into our conceptualization of mobility, immobility and perceptions of time
