Description:Excerpt from Luzac's Oriental List and Book Review, Vol. 22: January to December, 1911 Acaranga-sutra, the great scripture of Jain monastic discipline, is known to Western studies by Professor Hermann Jacobi a still unfinished edition of the Prakrit text published in 1882 in the Pali Text Series, and his translation issued as Vol. XXII. in the "Sacred Books of the East." A new and important step in the study of this work is marked by the appearance of an edition of the first "Sruta-skandha," with analysis and glossary, by Dr. Walther Schubring. The chief feature in this edition is that an endeavour is here made to analyse the text, so as to distinguish the numerous metrical quotations which the editor discerns in it from the prose into which they are interwoven. Dr. Schubring brings to his task a sound and scholarly knowledge of his difficult subject, and his analysis in general seems likely to obtain acceptance. It seems, indeed, at times a little too plausible; for it gives us a surprising number of apparent fragments of verse, which are often strung together in the loosest possible way by scrappy bits of prose, and it is hard for us to conceive the state of mind which could lead even a Jain to concoct such a farrago. Nevertheless, the analysis is often convincing and illuminating, and Dr. Schubring is to be congratulated on it. He would have rendered a still greater service to students if he had made his glossary fuller. As it is, his zeal for compression overpowers his compassion for less experienced readers, and at the same time he has given the glossary some appearance of incongruity by tabulating the verbal roots under their Sanskrit forms only, whilst the other parts of speech appear in their Prakrit guise. He would have conferred a great boon on readers if he had registered every word exactly as it occurs in the text, and given fuller exegeses. The God Varuna in the Rig-Veda, by Dr. H. D. Griswold, forming Bulletin No. 1 of the Society of Comparative Theology and Philosophy in Cornell University, falls into two parts. In the introductory section the author describes the Rig-veda and other Vedic literature, reviews the conflicting theories of their chronology, and aptly compares the cheerful temper and delight in the good things of this world which are the dominant notes of the Vedic age with the interest and pleasure in material welfare and practical studies which are increasing in modern India under the peaceful rule of the British Empire. After this, he passes to the consideration of the cult of Varuna in the Rig-veda, illustrated by metrical versions of the chief hymns bearing upon it. As is well known, the conception of Varuna in the Rig-veda - as opposed to the later cult - is almost one of monotheism.
