Hardcover. Zustand: New. The chapters in this volume present seven essays examining the Saptarși-Atri, Bharadvāja, Gautama, Jamadagni, Kaśyapa, Vasistha, and Viśvāmitra-figures whose influence permeates India's sacred literature across millennia. Far from being static religious icons, these sages emerge as remarkably versatile contributors who inhabit multiple social and spiritual roles with equal authority: they are poets whose hymns capture divine revelation, law-givers whose pronouncements shape juridical tradition, healers who bridge empirical and transcendent knowledge, teachers who transmit wisdom across generations, householders who navigate worldly responsibilities, ascetics who pursue ultimate liberation, kings who exercise temporal power, and king-makers whose counsel determines dynastic fortunes. The textual journey of these figures-from their earliest appearances in the Rgveda through their elaborate mythological personas in the Purana-s and their subsequent scholastic interpretations-reveals a fascinating process of cultural adaptation and reinterpretation. Rather than preserving fixed biographical details, the tradition continuously reimagines these sages to address evolving social, political, and cosmological concerns. Each essay in this collection adopts a diachronic approach, with the earliest textual attestations and tracing subsequent retellings, thereby illuminating not only the mantra-s and maxims attributed to each sage but also the specific historical problems their authority was invoked to resolve. The sages function as dynamic models for negotiating these fundamental tensions, demonstrating through their varied incarnations how wisdom must be continuously reapplied to meet contemporary challenges. The Vedic designation of these figures as 'guardians of the universe' provides the interpretive key for understanding their enduring significance.…
