Observations on the Use of Quotations in Sanskrit Dharmanibandhas

This article examines some of the strategies adopted by the authors of Sanskrit law digests (Dharmanibandhas) in dealing with quotations. Given the peculiar nature of the Nibandhas, which in the majority of cases are almost exclusively made of quotations from authoritative texts (chiefly Dharmasūtras, Dharmaśāstras and Purāṇas), citations are here not only a method to support a viewpoint, but constitute the very core of the text. In order to narrow the topic, the analysis has been restricted to a sub-category of the Dharmanibandha genre, i.e. the so called dānanibandhas, the digests specialized on the rules for gifting. Given their chronological distribution, these texts can be considered representative of the tendencies emerging in this branch of literature. The focus will lie both on the general rules and conventions accepted by the various Nibandha authors (nibandhakāras), and on concrete examples of the different methods applied while quoting from the same texts. Particular attention will be given to the methodological statements detected in these works, like the incipit of Lakṣmīdhara’s Kṛtyakalpataru (first half of the twelfth century) and that of Ballālasena’s Dānasāgara (second half of the twelfth century)

A recent research project, ‘Sanskrit Knowledge Systems on the Eve of Colonialism’, led by Sheldon Pollock, Christopher Minkowski and other leading Sanskrit scholars, reveals that early modern India from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries witnessed one of the most productive periods in its intellectual history. While this project explores eight disciplines (vyakarana, mimamsa, nyaya, dharmasastra, alankarasastra, ayurveda, jyotis, prayoga), it unfortunately excludes Vedanta as a scope of study. However, the cultural productivity in the area of Vedanta continued and was alive in the early modern period. A good example of this can be observed in the works of Baladeva Vidyabhusana (c. 1700–1793), a Vedantin belonging to the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition. In this article, I analyse Baladeva’s commentary on Brahmasutras 2.1.21-25, paying attention to the ways in which Baladeva quotes the writings of Sankara and Madhva. The complex engagements with the earlier Vedantins in Baladeva’s writing shows, I believe, that the Vedantic discourse was a part of the flourishing Sanskrit culture in the early modern period.
