This study focuses on the devices implemented in Classical Indian
texts on ritual and language in order to develop a structure of
rules in an economic and systematic way. These devices presuppose a
spatial approach to ritual and language, one which deals for
instance with absences as substitutions within a pre-existing grid,
and not as temporal disappearances. In this way, the study reveals
a key feature of some among the most influential schools of Indian
thought. The sources are Kalpasutra, Vyakarana and Mimamsa, three
textual traditions which developed alongside each other, sharing -
as the volume shows - common presuppositions and methodologies. The
book will be of interest for Sanskritists, scholars of ritual
exegesis and of the history of linguistics.
