Abstract

The contributions collected in this volume deal with the complex history of the Indian deity Viṣṇu-Nārāyana. This conception of God evolved in various traditions in India, especially in South India, during the first millennium CE. The history of this development is reconstructed here by various means, including philological exegesis, the history of ideas, and iconographic evidence., Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge behandeln die komplexe Geschichte der indischen Gottheit Viṣṇu-Nārāyana. Diese Gottesidee entwickelte sich während des ersten nachchristlichen Jahrtausends in verschiedenen Traditionen Indiens, insbesondere in Südindien. Ihre Geschichte wird mithilfe philologischer Exegese, Begriffsgeschichte und ikonographischer Zeugnisse rekonstruiert.

Abstract

In many of the oldest known sites of the Pāṇḍya country located not far from the Kāverī River in Tamil Nadu, a dual Hindu obedience, Vaiṣṇava and Śaiva, was developed concomitantly.1 Alongside these Bhakti deities, others are present in these places of communication with the sacred. As stone figures attached to the site and texts evoking the place are the two means used to give form to their deities, one would expect these two mediums to interact, but it is often difficult to correlate them in the Tamil country of the first millennium. This paper aims at exploring such possible relationships at Tiruveḷḷaṟai, the earliest remains of which date to the 8th c. The site has unique archaeological features, such as a svastika-shaped well and the earliest known depictions of some of Kṛṣṇa's feats; it inspired hymns of the Tamil Vaiṣṇava devotional corpus, the Divyaprabandham, and offers numerous inscriptions. The link between Śiva, Viṣṇu and local goddesses proves to be as remarkable here as that between texts and archaeology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
