Sažetak
In the Preface the General Editor gives the survey and evaluation of the contributions to the volume. Out of nineteen articles, four are concerned with the growth of the Sanskrit epic literature (A. Hiltebeitel, O. Hellwig, M. Ježić, H. Brinkhaus), the first deals with the both Sanskrit epics, the next two with the Rāmāyaṇa, and the last one with the transition from the epic to Purāṇic cosmogony ; six papers explore some aspects of the social and economic context of the epics, especially the Mahābhārata (J. Bronkhorst, G. Bailey, Y. Vassilkov, T. Pontillo, P. Szczurek, D. Feller) ; three papers are concerned with the composition and narrative strategies in the Purāṇas (R. Söhnen-Thieme, M. Taylor, K. Valpey) ; four are dedicated to the relationship between the Sanskrit epics and kāvya (P. Olivelle, K. Gönc Moačanin, L. Sudyka, A. Bonisoli) ; and two articles are philological studies of the meaning of particular words in epic contexts (S. Sellmer, L. Kulikov). The Preface offers some basic insights into the topics, and evaluates different perspectives of authors, their contributions and their possible interconnections.
