New Open Access Publication by HASP - Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies - Vol. 31 No. 1 (2026): Śaunakīya and Paippalāda New Perspectives on the Two Recensions

Avatar of Katrin Bender Katrin Bender - 31. March 2026 - Aktuelles

This volume is based on the results of different research activities promoted by or in dialogue with two projects on the ancient textual tradition of the Atharvaveda, currently underway at the University of Zurich and the University of Cagliari. A large part of the contributions collected here was first presented within the context of a panel with the same title as the present collection, which took place from 26 to 30 June 2025, held by the Nepal Sanskrit University in Kathmandu, in collaboration with the International Association of Sanskrit Studies, within the programme of the 19th World Sanskrit Conference. This joint initiative aims to highlight the advantages of having two available recensions, namely the Śaunakīya-Saṃhitā and the Paippalāda-Saṃhitā.
