| Summary |
In Narmada¿¿parikrama¿¿. Circumambulation of the Narmada¿¿ River Ju¿rgen Neuss offers for the first time a comprehensive study of the Narmada¿¿parikrama¿¿, a singular Hindu pilgrimage, which comprises the complete circumambulation of the Central Indian river Narmada¿¿. Following a brief general introduction, the first part of the book comprises a text-historical analysis of the Sanskrit texts which are traditionally regarded as the basis for this rite. The second part represents a synoptic translation of two modern pilgrims¿́¿ handbooks in Hindi, which link the mythological place names of the Sanskrit texts with actual geographical locations. Part three consists of synopses of available Sanskrit source texts, and the concluding part summarizes the many-fold findings and results of the study in thematically arranged maps. |
