SAN 384S.9

Buddhist and Jain Sanskrit

3 Hours

Examine selections from important texts of Buddhist and Jain traditions with a focus on the Sanskrit vocabulary and style of these traditions, as well as their conceptual, doctrinal, and narrative foundations. Focus on both systematic expositions of religious doctrine (sastra, darsana), and on narrative theologies (katha, carita, avadana) to facilitate comparison between the two religious traditions. Sanskrit 384S (Topic: Buddhist and Jain Sanskrit) and 384S (Topic 9) may not both be counted.
