Saabarabhashya and the physics of sound

[Sivasenani Nori]

विद्वद्भ्यो नमः।

Earlier in the day, I had briefly remarked about SabarasvAmin's understanding of sound and promised to post the relevant text etc.

The same is now attached as a pdf, so that the formatting is retained.

Thanks for the PDF, is this from a thesis or draft of an upcoming publication?

Dear Sri Nori,

Wonderful! Thanks for this educative piece. Please post more such material. I am personally interested in sky pictures and description of natural phenomena ( references to Year, tithi, eclipses, comets, nakshatras, rainfall, floods, earthquakes...)  in Purvamimamsa literature. 

I would be thankful for further pointers in this direction. 

best regards

RN Iyengar

​Actually, it is the edited out portion of a paper accepted for publication, authored by yours truly and Prof. Korada Subrahmanyam. The paper discusses शब्दनित्यता and this material was initially included to show that the Mimamsaka holds Sabda to be nitya, not because of a lack of understanding of its nature, but because for him Sabda is something beyond "sound" as normally understood, or Sabda as understood by a Naiyayika. In the final review, this portion was edited out due to space constraints and because the other school which was treated at length was Vyakarana, and not Nyaya.​

Yours truly

Prof. Dominik Wujastyk, the moderator of the Indology list, in one of his offline conversations with me wrote:

"I personally find that I am often seduced by the apparent modernity of ancient India. These guys 2000 years ago were having such modern discussions in some cases, using such recognizable forms of thinking and tackling questions that we still think about today, that it's easy (for me, at least) to forget that twenty centuries separate us"

Does anyone know the first instance of mention of वीचीतरंगन्याय (analogy for longitudinal waves) and कदंबमुकुलन्याय  (analogy for transverse waves) ?
