Shifting Śāstric Śiva: Co-operating Epic Mythology and Philosophy in India's Classical Period.
This study accounts for disparate portrayals of divine destroyer Śiva in the normative Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata as opposed to Kālidāsa's amatory Kumārasaṃbhava and Raghuvaṃśa by contrasting the primary and secondary Sanskrit epic authors' respective reliances on the Mānavadharmaśāstra and the Kāmasū...

By arguing, per Richard Johnson's postpoststructuralism, that these mythological and philosophical differences deliberately reflect those poets' specific sociohistorical contexts, this inquiry accounts more accurately for Śiva's classical-epic depictions than do Stella Kramrisch's and Wendy Doniger [O'Flaherty]'s investigations informed by Claude Lévi-Strauss's structuralism and Don Handelman and David Shulman's researches influenced by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's poststructuralism. The present work, in revising such prevailing Indological notions as Romila Thapar's traditional construal of the "classical," Donald R. Davis Jr.'s anthropocentric definition of puruṣārtha (human aim), and Sheldon Pollock's unvarying characterization of śāstras (treatises), models a historically aware approach that appreciates the interrelationship of mythological philosophy and philosophical mythology. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: International Journal of Hindu Studies is a copyright of Springer, 2023.
