view article | [Indo-Iranian Journal] Meditating on the king’s feet? Some remarks on the expression pādānudhyātaAbstract The Sanskrit expression -pādānudhyāta, often met with in inscriptions, is commonly translated as ‘meditating on the feet of.’ Adducing copious evidence from inscriptions
as well as from classical Sanskrit literature, this article argues that the traditional translation is wrong, at least in
the case of inscriptions dated before the tenth century AD. From the available sources it appears that meditation on the feet—whether
on a god’s or on a king’s—came to be common practice only from around the tenth century in India. Moreover, several parallels
show that the original understanding of the phrase was ‘favoured / blessed by the respected,’ pāda being an honorific term here. In addition to this argument, the study also attempts to define the nature of the hierarchical
relationship that the above expression probably implied and to show that the wrong understanding of the term was probably
due to misconceptions about the divine nature of kingship in ancient India.

view article | [Indo-Iranian Journal] Pāṇinian accounts of the Vedic subjunctive:Abstract To determine which Vedic texts Pāṇini knew requires a comprehensive approach that establishes a high correlation between the
complete set of linguistic traits his treatise describes and the complete set of linguistic traits exhibited in each text
in question. The examination of individual linguistic traits is inadequate to determine which texts he knew because neither
the Vedic nor the grammatical tradition is uniform and static. Bronkhorst (Pāṇinian Studies: Professor S. D. Joshi Felicitation
Volume, p. 75, 1991) calls into question the assumption that Vedic texts were known to Pāṇini in the form we have received them, while Cardona
(Pāṇinian Studies: Professor S. D. Joshi Felicitation Volume, p. 130, 1991) shows that Pāṇini’s silence concerning certain Vedic forms may be due to deference to certain received exegetical traditions.
The current paper considers a case where the Pāṇinian grammatical tradition entertains disagreement over the derivation of
obscure forms. Doubt concerning the recurrence of the term pit (3.4.92) into 3.4.94 brings into question whether Pāṇini systematically accounts for stem strengthening in the present subjunctive.
Kātyāyana, Patañjali, Jayāditya, and Jinendrabuddhi remain silent on the point. Rāmacandra, Śrīkriṣṇa, and Bhaṭṭojidīkṣita
assert that pit recurs, thereby allowing stem strengthening. Haradatta, on the other hand, maintains that a rule of indeterminate variation,
3.4.117 chandasy ubhayathā, accounts for it. Nāgeśa points out that the latter procedure is more comprehensive in that it accounts for the lack of stem
strengthening in exceptional forms, such as kr̥ṇvaíte in the R̥gveda. The implication is that the former procedure fails to account for the form, which, if Pāṇini’s knowledge of texts were to
be established based upon the consideration of individual traits, would imply the absurdity that Pāṇini, as interpreted by
Rāmacandra et al. did not know the R̥gveda. On the contrary, however, the procedure of Rāmacandra et al. can employ another rule of indeterminate variation: 3.1.85
vyatyayo bahulam. This procedure, which provides a systematic explanation of the present subjunctive generally and requires a rule of indeterminate
variation only to account for exceptional forms, is preferable to leaving the account of stem strengthening in the present
subjunctive generally to a rule of indeterminate variation. Since both procedures rely on rules of indeterminate variation
to account for the R̥gvedic form, however, it is impossible to establish either Pāṇini’s knowledge or ignorance of the text on the basis of his account
of the subjunctive. The controversy demonstrates that the depth and variety of the Indian grammatical tradition must be taken
into account in determining which rules describe which linguistic facts and that it is inadequate to consider individual traits.
A comprehensive approach is required.
