Paperback. Condizione: New. Language: English. About the book -: Among the most popular Books in Buddhist literature, Dhammapada (Skt. Dharmapada) stands prominently. This work is critically edited and translated with copious notes by Beni Madhav Barua and Sailendranath Mitra with a long introduction which discusses many problems of editions and translations of the Dhammapada. The present work began by the editors as a disgression from working on a monography on Asoka�s Dhamma with encouragement and support by Ashutosh Mukherjee, the great Buddhist savant. The present work is mainly based on E. Senart�s publicationo the Kharosthi manuscript of the text on the basis of the fragments discovered by Petroffsky, and Dutreuil de Rhins, Russian and French, scholars. This is the only text found in Khroshthi script in Prakrit dialect. All other texts are generally found in Pali, Sanskrit or Mixed Sanskrit. Barua and Mitra have published it with improved readings, adding copious notes and cross references. The present book is published under the series Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica, with a foreword by Dr. N.H. Samtani. About The Author -: Benimadhab Barua (1888 �1948) was an Indian scholar of ancient Indian languages, Buddhism and law. He was a prominent educationist and writer. Barua joined the Mah?muni Anglo-P?li Institution as headmaster in 1912. From 1913 to 1914 he worked as a lecturer in the P?li department of the University of Calcutta. He went to England on a government scholarship in 1914. He earned an MA in Greek and Modern European Philosophy from the University of London. In 1917 he was awarded a D.Litt. by the University of London. He was the first Asian to do so. After returning to India in 1918, Barua rejoined Calcutta University and was promoted to a professorship. He developed the syllabus of the MA course in Pali along with his work in the departments of Ancient Indian History and Culture (1919�48) and Sanskrit (1927�48) in the same university. Barua's 1921 work on The Ajivikas served as the background for "History and Doctrines of the Ajivikas" (1950) the PhD dissertation of A. L. Basham, who cites Barua's work frequently.
