Index Verborum der Śaunakasaṃhitā und der Paippalādasaṃhitā und des Atharvaveda
Year: 2024
Type: paratext
Abstract: Announcement Two 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.
