at www.luminosoa.org. During the height of Muslim power in Mughal
South Asia, Hindu and Muslim scholars worked collaboratively to
translate a large body of Hindu Sanskrit texts into the Persian
language. Translating Wisdom reconstructs the intellectual
processes and exchanges that underlay these translations. Using as
a case study the 1597 Persian rendition of the Yoga-Vasistha-an
influential Sanskrit philosophical tale whose popularity stretched
across the subcontinent-Shankar Nair illustrates how these early
modern Muslim and Hindu scholars drew upon their respective
religious, philosophical, and literary traditions to forge a common
vocabulary through which to understand one another. These scholars
thus achieved, Nair argues, a nuanced cultural exchange and
interreligious and cross-philosophical dialogue significant not
only to South Asia's past but also its present.
