My rant on Buddhist nuns. Please bear in mind this is merely introductory and not exhaustive, and due to this I provide further readings. Hopefully the read is enjoyable. https://t.co/OWjqZID39Q

A piece of elephant-adjacent vocabulary: in the Mbh, there is a Sanskrit term “abhipadma”, referring to loss of pigmentation elephants develop as they age and conceptualised as ‘lotus-coloured spots’. In other texts one may also encounter “padmakam” which means the same thing.

Still about elephants, one of my favourite verses from the Kumārasambhava is:

“Where [at Mount Himalaya] the odour emanated by the sap of the Sarala trees, rubbed by elephants to remove the itching of their cheeks, makes the peaks fragrant.” 1.9

What is my profile picture? It is an illustration from the Gajaśāstra (the science of elephants, or elephantology). It firstly tells a story of origin, that elephants used to be celestial beings created with wings and tusks, who were banished to earth.

You can just imagine an elephant scratching its cheek against a tree because it’s itchy, it’s such a down-to-earth and nice image.

I also redirect you to —> Theology of Aristotle and the Book of Causes, it does not function in the same way, because it seems to attempt more of a post-hoc rather than organic synthesis, but again puts to question what qualifies as a “translation”.

Recently attended a lecture on the Nabivamsha written by Syed Sultan. It is a Hindu-Islamic text, where Abrahamic prophets are identified with the avatars of Vishnu (for example Joseph is said to be Krishna), and prophet Muhammad becomes the final and perfect divine avatāra.

own, and translations where the translator at least partially identifies with the source culture and embraces its fruits to integrate with his own culture.

I once made a map for one of my students to put into perspective where the scholars of the pre- and Islamic Golden Age originally came from and I myself was in awe of the sheer geographical breadth.

Fun fact I forgot about: in a single 15th century Old Church Slavonic manuscript, there exists a symbol used in ‘many-eyed seraphim’ / серафими мн̑оꙮ҆читїи̑ that looks like, well, many eyes.

There are many fun things about this text, it categorises elephants according to their character or explores the way they walk. It also talks about their appearance, saying that a skin of a healthy elephant is that of the sun or ghee.
