Balabharata of Rajasekhara

Author(s):  Dr. Madhavi Kolhatkar
English

Principal Apte on Rajaśekhara:

"Räjaśekhara must have lived not later than the end of the 8th or the beginning of the 9th century A.D. He appears, however, to be a native pf Maharashtra. Räjaśekhara is nothing, if not original. He thought that he was not bound to slavishly follow the practice of his predecessors in the field, and has, therefore, invented not only ideas, but a peculiar method of arranging incidents, so as to impart novelty to his works. He is undoubtedly a poct of great learning and much information. His chief merit, however, appears to be the powerful command he has over language the varied vocabulary he can call to his aid. The Virarasa or heroic sentiment is undoubtedly his forte, he has shown a remarkable skill-only second to Bhavabhūti's-in adpting his words to the sentiment, and in not a few places he shows how well he recognized the importance of Pope's well-known canon, "The sound should seem an echo to the sense."

About the author

Dr. Madhavi Kolhatkar, retired Professor in Sanskrit Dictionary Department, Deccan College, Pune, has Ph.D. in Sanskrit from Pune University and has working knowledge of German, Russian, Tibetan, and Japanese.

She has ten books and more than hundred published articles in English, Sanskrit and Marathi to her credit. Her research field is mainly the Brahmaņa texts, śrauta ritual and mythology. She has put forth the hypothesis after the careful study of the myths that 1. The Sutrămanī sacrifice has its origin basically in the rivalry between the brahmanas and the kşatriyas; 2. Lakşmī is primarily an animal having the mark (lakşman) of possession on it; 3. The etymology of Vämana is from the causative form of the root vam which is 'one, (ie.an animal) evacuated', 4. The word 'anasthi' does not mean 'without bones' but a phenomenon of pseudocysis or false pregnancy; 5. The close study of the word Avakşayaņa in the Satapathabrahmana denotes that it is the precursor of the pan-Indian rite 'Neeräjanavidhi', etc.

She was invited for seminars and conferences in USA, Japan, Romania, China and Croatia and was awarded Mombusho scholarship for the year 1986-87. Again from July 2010 to June 2011 she was invited to participate in a joint project on Nişpannayogavali undertaken by Forbidden City Museum, China and the Ethnological Museum, Osaka, Japan.

She has given talks related to Sanskrit language and literature on All India Radio, Pune and also delivered public lectures.
