Soft cover. Condition: New. The city of Varanasi in North India is one of the most sacred Hindu places. Its unique location on the banks of the Ganga adds to its special claims of holiness. These claims found expression in an extensive body of literature called Mahatmyas, texts composed in Sanskrit with the specific aim of promoting the greatness (mahatmya) of the town through the narration of tales of origin of individual sites. The present study presents a little-known Varanasimahatmya which has survived in a unique compendium of such Mahatmyas in a palm-leaf manuscript in Nepal. It contains a critical edition of the text with an introduction and annotated English synopsis. In making this material available, this study aims to contribute to an understanding of the location of Brahmanical Hinduism, in particular Saivism.

Hardback. Condition: New. This conference volume unites a wide range of scholars working in the fields of history, archaeology, religion, art, and philology in an effort to explore new perspectives and methods in the study of primary sources from premodern South and Southeast Asia. The contributions engage with primary sources (including texts, images, material artefacts, monuments, as well as archaeological sites and landscapes) and draw needed attention to highly adaptable, innovative, and dynamic modes of cultural production within traditional idioms. The volume works to develop categories of historical analysis that cross disciplinary boundaries and represent a wide variety of methodological concerns. By revisiting premodern sources, Asia Beyond Boundaries also addresses critical issues of temporality and periodization that attend established categories in Asian Studies, such as the "Classical Age" or the "Gupta Period". This volume represents the culmination of the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy project Asia Beyond Boundaries: Religion, Region, Language and the State, a research consortium of the British Museum, the British Library and the School of Oriental and African Studies, in partnership with Leiden University.
