Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast ocean of stories that influenced storytelling the world over 'The Kathasaritasagara' is said to have been compiled by a Kashmiri Saivite Brahmin called Somadeva in AD 1070, although the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that Somadeva composed the Kathasaritasagara for Queen Suryavati, wife of King Anantadeva who ruled Kashmir in the eleventh century. The stories in this book are retold from ten of the eighteen books of the original Kathasaritasagara. The most remarkable feature of the Kathasaritasagara is that unlike other texts of the time, it offers no moral conclusions, no principles to live by and is throughout a celebration of earthly life. The tale of Naravahanadatta, the prince of the vidyadharas, the sky-dwellers with magical powers, comprises the main narrative and is used as an outer frame to introduce the stories in the text. Promiscuous married women and clever courtesans, imbecile Brahmins, incompetent kings and wise ministers, wicked mendicants and holy ascetics, cursed men and men who are granted boons, evil non-human creatures and friendly magical beings, all jostle for attention in Arshia Sattar’s masterful translation of this timeless collection of tales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies About the Kathasaritsagara In days of yore, when Civa, the Lord of the Universe, was alone with his beloved wife, the daughter of Himavant, and caressed her, she asked him to tell her some charming new tale. For Indian gods and goddesses are as fond of tales as Indian men and women. The Supreme God, however reluctantly and after an unsuccessful expedient to acquit himself with little, entered upon a story of immense length and of an extraordinary charm. Parvati wishing to keep the whole of the pleasure to be procured by that wonderful catena of tales to herself, shut the door and ordered Nandin, Civa's bull, to withhold any person whatsoever from coming in. In the meanwhile one of Civa's most beloved Ganas, Puspadanta his name, went on to see his master. Being forbidden the entrance, he succeeded by dint of magic power to penetrate unseen within the presence of Civa and Parvati and to overhear that new and delightful story about the seven sovereigns of the Air-spirits (Vidyadharas). Full as he was of the great tale he had heard, he afterwards narrated it to his own wife Java; for who can hide wealth or a secret from women? She again told it over to her mistress, the wife of Civa, for how can women be expected to restrain their speech? So it happened that Parvati knew the disclosure of the Great Narration notwithstanding the precautions taken to keep it secret, and in her wrath she cursed the indiscreet Gana to be born as a man. Malyavant, another Gana, who interceded for his guilty friend, was in a similar manner damned to a human existence. She fixed, however, a limit to the punishment.

Book Synopsis Riddles of Belonging by : Christi A. Merrill
Download or read book Riddles of Belonging written by Christi A. Merrill and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the subaltern joke? Christi A. Merrill answers by invoking riddling, oral-based fictions from Hindi, Rajasthani, Sanskrit, and Urdu that dare to laugh at what traditions often keep hidden-whether spouse abuse, ethnic violence, or the uncertain legacies of a divinely wrought sex change. Herself a skilled translator, Merrill uses these examples to investigate the expectation that translated work should allow the non-English-speaking subaltern to speak directly to the English-speaking reader. She plays with the trope of speaking to argue against treating a translated text as property, as a singular material object to be "carried across" (as trans-latus implies.) She refigures translation as a performative "telling in turn," from the Hindi word anuvad, to explain how a text might be multiply possessed. She thereby challenges the distinction between "original" and "derivative," fundamental to nationalist and literary discourse, humoring our melancholic fixation on what is lost. Instead, she offers strategies for playing along with the subversive wit found in translated texts. Sly jokes and spirited double entendres, she suggests, require equally spirited double hearings. The playful lessons offered by these narratives provide insight into the networks of transnational relations connecting us across a sea of differences. Generations of multilingual audiences in India have been navigating this "Ocean of the Stream of Stories" since before the 11th century, arriving at a fluid sense of commonality across languages. Salman Rushdie is not the first to pose crucial questions of belonging by telling a version of this narrative: the work of non-English-language writers like Vijay Dan Detha, whose tales are at the core of this book, asks what responsibilities we have to make the rights and wrongs of these fictions come alive "age after age."
