Kampilya: Quest for a Mahabharata City
D.K. Printworld, New Delhi (1999).
Contents: Preface. 1. Geoarchaeological observations in Doab plain through advanced remote sensing methodology/Bruno Marcolongo. 2. Kampilya: one site on more sites?/Annamaria Dallaporta and Lucio Marcato. 3. Mahabharata reminiscences in some villages near Kampil/L. Arnoldo and G. Fuggetta.

"Kampil (Farrukhabad District, U.P.) is a typical Indian village in the fertile terrain of the Ganga Yamuna Doab. Known for its long, glorious past, the village has, since A. Cunningham's visit here in 1878, compelled increasing attention of the archaeologists seeking to explore its possible identity with Kampilya,the city, described in the Mahabharata story, as the fabulous capital of Drupad's south Pancala Kingdom."
"The question of Kampil-Kampilya identity was examined afresh by a multidisciplinary research team, on the basis of IRS Satellite multispectral images of the mid-Ganga plain, a predictive geo-archaeological model, and field surveys. Which, in turn, led researchers to the discovery of a complex of ruins: the remains of a fortified structure, locally called Drupad Kila?about five kilometers upstream of the Kampil village."
"Set out here are the preliminary findings of this multidisciplinary research, including (a) a study of the late Holocene Palaeohydographic evolution of Doab region around Drupad Kila site and the influence of geomorphology/environmental resources on the human historical settlements; (b) an archaeological report, based on the surface survey of the discovered site; and (c) a socio-ethnological study of the villages around the Kila complex. Carried out during 1996-98, these studies: each contributed by the area specialist (s) of the research team, addressed specifically the question whether the Drupad-Kila complex answers to the description of Mahabharata city of Kampilya."
"Visualizing the manifold importance of Kampilya?beyond just the archaeological event, the editors have created a holistic "Kampilya Project" to retrieve the cultural and environmental potentialities of the Drupad-Kila complex and its peripheral areas" (jacket)

The topics are: "being human" that deals with what the epic states about human birth, the gunas, the tension between destiny and human effort; "interpersonal relationships" dealing with what constitutes the 4 varnas, the 4 purusharthas, the parent-child, husband-wife, friendship relations. What is curious is her description of Kunti, Draupadi, Gandhari as helpless women--quite a male viewpoint from a woman! Nor she deal with the unique relationship between Krishna and Draupadi, of sakha and sakhi, or notice the intensity of Krishna's love for Arjuna that is voiced when he brings Parikshit back to life. The relationship between Bhishma and Dhritarashtra is not examined although here the patriarch's status is overshadowed by the relationship between ruler and ruled. The last lecture is on "the purpose of life", the 4 ashramas, the inexorable erosion of dharma from Satya to Kali, the belief in atman and paramatman, with the demons challenging the dharmic edifice where one's karma is one's destiny, and the devas upholding it through the pandavas and krishna. The introduction and the epilogue are thought provoking.

The Sanskrit Hero
Brill, 2004.

This is a study of the hero Karna as he appears in epic Mahabharata. In this view, Karna is the paradigmatic hero of the poem. The study also uses the text to generate a model of what constitutes heroism in the epic. Epic is defined at ksatriya poetry of a preliterate culture. The nature of the Sanskrit hero, as he appears in literature, is the focus of the study: Karna supplying the particular from which a general model is derived.
