Devśca v ásurāścāspardhanta – “Bogovi in asure so se dajali” je edinstven priročnik, ki študenta klasične in predklasične stare indijščine (sanskrta) kot ene izmed nosilnih filologij indoevropskega primerjalnega jezikoslovja sistematično uvaja v kompetentno branje srednjevedske proze. Osrednji del je zasnovan kot berilo z več kot stotimi različno dolgimi in različno zahtevnimi pripovedmi iz najpomembnejših literarnih spomenikov tega več kot petstoletnega in odločilnega obdobja v kompleksnem jezikovnem razvoju stare indijščine. Spremljata ga po sodobnih filoloških principih pripravljena vedska slovnica v zgoščenem prikazu in izčrpen slovarski del.

Devśca v ásurāścāspardhanta – “The Gods and the Asuras vied with each other” is a unique course book in the framework of contemporary Indo-European studies focused on introducing the students of Classical and pre-Classical Sanskrit to the language and style of (mostly Middle) Vedic prose.

It is primarily designed as a reader covering a wide range selection of a 100-odd engaging episodes of various length from the most important literary monuments of several Vedic schools. Equipped with an up-to-date synoptic Vedic grammar, translation suggestions on the syntactically more demanding constructions, and a comprehensive vocabulary, it hopes to steer the student towards independence in linguistic and extralinguistic interpretation of these highly fascinating texts.

Predgovor Pričujoči učbenik je namenjen študentom stare indijščine, primarno v okviru študijskega programa Indoevropsko primerjalno jezikoslovje. Postopno jih uvaja v samostojno branje najstarejših proznih besedil staroindijske književnosti v razdobju med približno desetim in petim stoletjem pred našim štetjem. Besedila so namerno izbrana tako, da sama vsebina študentu zagotovljeno ponuja tudi literarni užitek oz. pri študentu vzbuja radovednost, kar zagotavlja poglobljeno branje, s tem pa mu izostruje občutek za oblikovno (morfološko) in skladenjsko (sintaktično) raven te zahtevne jezikovne tvarine in tako krati uspešno služi kot bistvena predpriprava na branje po jezikovni in stilistični plati še zahtevnejše vedske himnike.

Učbenik je napisan v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku, to pa zato, da bi se ga lahko enako učinkovito uporabilo tudi pri poučevanju tujih študentov oz. študentov na izmenjavi, hkrati pa se je besedilo želelo tudi internacionalizirati, saj podoben učbenik doslej študentom stare indijščine še ni na voljo.

Vsem trem recenzentom, dr. Haraldu Bichlmeierju, dr. Velizarju Sadovskemu in dr. Sabine Ziegler, se zahvaljujem za pripravljenost prevzeti to nalogo in za vse nepogrešljive komentarje, ki so mi bili dobrodošli pri pripravljanju končnega besedila za tisk.

Foreword The coursebook is intended for students of Classical and pre-Classical Old Indic, primarily within the study programme in Indo-European comparative linguistics.

By working through the book, the student will gradually become acquainted with the language of the corpus of the oldest prose texts of Old Indic literature (the selection of texts spans a period between the 10th and the 5th centuries), and slowly develop the skill to read larger portions of Vedic prose independently.

The reader offers a variety of texts of varying length, carefully selected with the purpose of also offering the student an opportunity for literary enjoyment. This is done in order to achieve maximally focused and invested reading, which will ensure a deepened understanding of and increase the studentʼs sensitivity for the formal (i.e. morphological) as well as the syntactical aspect of the language of Vedic prose. As such, the coursebook will prove indispensable in the studentʼs preparation towards the study of the still more complex language of Vedic poetry.

It has been decided to produce a Slovene as well as an English version of the coursebook – primarily for the purpose of the bookʼs availability to foreign and exchange students, especially since this seems to be the first attempt to produce an extensive prose-based companion to the well-known and much used Vedic Reader for Students by A. A. Macdonell.

I wish to thank PD Dr. habil Harald Bichlmeier, Prof. Dr. Velizar Sadovski, and Prof. Dr. Sabine Ziegler wholeheartedly for their willingness to review the manuscript and for the numerous suggestions from which the final version has been able to benefit greatly.

Uvod Jezik vedske proze ni enotna tvarina ne v časovnem niti v prostorskem pogledu.

Zaobsega več hronolektov v razponu med približno desetim in petim stoletjem pred našim štetjem, prav tako pa gre za več geolektov. Ker gre vsaj na ravni sociolekta za dokaj enoten jezik, pa je o njem mogoče govoriti kot o sorazmerno kompaktni enoti, ki relativnokronološko lebdi med še nekoliko starejšim jezikom vedske himnike in mnogo mlajšim sanskrtom. Starost jezika vedskih proznih besedil je očitna ob pregledu morfoloških kategorij in skladenjskih značilnosti, ki ga tesno vežejo na jezik (zlasti mlajših delov) Rgvede in drugih vedskih manter, a vendarle se od najstarejše izpričane plasti indoarijščine loči na vseh jezikovnih ravninah: fonološki, morfološki, besedotvorni, sintaktični (tu seveda zlasti kot posledica žanra oz. razmerje ni ugotovljivo) in leksikalni. Stare morfološke kategorije se znajdejo v tranzitni fazi: ob specializaciji nekaterih in skorajšnji periferizaciji drugih se jezik vedske proze deloma povsem naravno in po pričakovanju kaže kot logični mlajši hronolekt jezika vedskih manter, a po drugi strani v njem že stare, sicer obrobne morfološke kategorije (najsi bo arhaične ali takšne, ki so bile v starejši plasti jezika šele in statu nascendi) pridobijo na produktivnosti oz. so celo na novo izoblikovane, kar jeziku daje pečat inovativnosti. V najožjem pomenu termina vedska prozna besedila zaobsegajo v manjšini zastopane v prozi sestavljene odseke (paryāya-sūkta) obeh recenzij Atharvavede (AVP Paippalāda, AVŚ - Śaunakīya), približno enako stare prozne dele, napisane v stilu poznejših brahman, ki pripadajo zbirkam Črne Jadžurvede, tj. Maitrájanisanhite (Maitrāyaṇī-sahitā), Taittirijasanhite (Taittirīya-sahitā), Kathasanhite (Kaṭha-sahitā) in Kapišthale (Kapiṣṭhala), ter celoten korpus brahman (brāhmaṇa-) sensu stricto, tj. komentarjev k obredju, ki pripadajo posameznim zbirkam vedske himnike. K tem komentarjem nadalje sodijo še po vsebini k mistiki naravnane Aranjake (āraṇyaka-) in večinoma njim pripadajoče Upanišade (upaniṣad-). Izbor besedil v učbeniku je omejen na enajst virov: prozna besedila Atharvavede (v obeh recenzijah: AVŚ, AVP), Maitrāyaṇī-sahitā (MS), Kaṭhasahitā (KS), Taittirīya-sahitā (TS), Taittirīya-brāhmaṇa (TB), Śatapathabrāhmaṇa Mādhyandina (ŚBM), Jaiminīya-brāhmaṇa (JB), Aitareya-brāhmaṇa (AB), Pañcaviśa-brāhmaṇa (PVB) ter Chāndogya-upaniṣad (ChUp.), iz tradicije Samavede, in Bhad-āraṇyaka-upaniṣad (BĀUp.) iz tradicije Bele Jadžurvede). Deloma je odločitvi za vključitev besedila botrovala sama starost vira (med zbirkami Črne Jadžurvede sta zagotovo najstarejši prav Maitrajanisanhita in takoj za njo Taittirijasanhita, Šatapathabrahmana prav tako sodi med najstarejše brahmane, enako velja tudi za posamezne dele obeh upanišad, ­Brhadaranjake in

Devśca v ásurāścāspardhanta – “Bogovi in asure so se dajali” je edinstven priročnik, ki študenta klasične in predklasične stare indijščine (sanskrta) kot ene izmed nosilnih filologij indoevropskega primerjalnega jezikoslovja sistematično uvaja v kompetentno branje srednjevedske proze. Osrednji del je zasnovan kot berilo z več kot stotimi različno dolgimi in različno zahtevnimi pripovedmi iz najpomembnejših literarnih spomenikov tega več kot petstoletnega in odločilnega obdobja v kompleksnem jezikovnem razvoju stare indijščine. Spremljata ga po sodobnih filoloških principih pripravljena vedska slovnica v zgoščenem prikazu in izčrpen slovarski del.

Devśca v ásurāścāspardhanta – “The Gods and the Asuras vied with each other” is a unique course book in the framework of contemporary Indo-European studies focused on introducing the students of Classical and pre-Classical Sanskrit to the language and style of (mostly Middle) Vedic prose.

It is primarily designed as a reader covering a wide range selection of a 100-odd engaging episodes of various length from the most important literary monuments of several Vedic schools. Equipped with an up-to-date synoptic Vedic grammar, translation suggestions on the syntactically more demanding constructions, and a comprehensive vocabulary, it hopes to steer the student towards independence in linguistic and extralinguistic interpretation of these highly fascinating texts.
