Ram Gopal、National Publishing House、1959、504pp、22-･･･

This is a rare 1959 first edition of India of Vedic Kalpasūtras by the noted Sanskrit scholar Dr. Ram Gopal, published by National Publishing House, Delhi. Considered one of the major works of 20th-century Indology, it reconstructs early Indian society using evidence from the Śrauta, Gṛhya, and Dharma Sūtras. This edition is the original form of Dr. Gopal’s doctoral thesis and is much scarcer than the 1983 Motilal Banarsidass reprint. It is an important source for understanding the transition from the Vedic to the Classical period (c. 800–500 BCE). Gopal also challenges the usual dating of Pāṇini, arguing for an earlier date around 600–550 BCE. The book analyzes the formation of the Varṇa system, the role of women, and details of daily life, agriculture, and environment, treating Kalpa texts as historical evidence. Details: Hardcover in publisher’s cloth, xvi + 504 pages, English with Sanskrit citations.
