Vijayawada: The antiquity of Telugu language goes back to 3rd century BCE and is considered the most ancient of the Dravidian languages, said Dr E Sivanagireddy, archaeologist and CEO, Pleach India Foundation. While presenting a paper at the 14th America Telugu Literary Meet jointly organised by Vanguri Foundation and Houston Telugu Association at the India House, Houston, the USA on Sunday, he cited a few proper names in Telugu from the Bhattiprolu Buddhist Relic casket inscription of a local Chieftain Raja Kubiraka in 3rd century BCE. Dr Reddy also gave early Telugu words from Kothuru and Kotilingala (coins) inscriptions datable to 2nd century BCE, and from the inscriptions of Dhulikatta and Amaravati Prakrit inscriptions followed by the 3rd century inscriptions of Nagarjunakonda, 4th century inscription of the Sakankayana from Pedavegi, 5th century inscriptions of the Vishnukundins from Keesaragutta and Patagandigudem which stand as testimonials to establish the evolution of Telugu language.

Indra: A divine tester of virtue
We are used to thinking of Indra, king of the celestials, as a complex personality. In story after story, he comes across as libidinous, crafty, and jealously guarding his turf. But over time, I began to realise that he is often a catalyst, just like Narada Muni and Rishi Durvasa. Indra's interventions can bring out stark truths. This is also noticeable in Buddhist tradition, wherein he is usually called by one of his other names, Sakra. Sakra, also pronounced Shakra, means 'mighty' and 'powerful' in Sanskrit, a name found in verses from way back in the Rig Veda. In Buddhism, which came much later and drew heavily on Hinduism, Sakra, spelt Sakka in Pali, is a prominent figure, considered the ruler of the Trayastrimsa heaven. That is the name of the heaven at the top of Mount Meru – the celestial realm. Mount Meru is the name assigned in Hinduism to the polar centre of the physical world. Indra has many versions of his name across the Indic world, in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese. In Buddhism, he is often held to consult with the Buddha on matters of morality, and along with Brahma, he is cast as a Dharmapala, meaning a guardian of the Buddha's dharma or dhamma, that is, a protector of Buddhism. I discovered several stories of Sakra's interventions while going through the stories in the Aryasurya Jatakamala. But first, a word about the book itself. It was originally in Sanskrit and contains thirty-four jatakas. Scholars say it is written in sophisticated language, using Sanskrit literary devices, and a mixture of prose and verse. I could not discover a definite date for the original. But scholars agree it was a very influential work, translated by several later writers. The collection travelled across the Eastern Sea and overland into China. Borobodur, the massive 9th-century Buddhist site in Java, contains depictions of all thirty-four stories from the Aryasurya Jatakamala. I had the good fortune to visit Borobudur and count it as a stunning experience.
