A recent publication (I by Simon Brodbeck, 2022) proposes to resolve a long-standing theological conundrum of Hindu mythology on the basis of a literary-holist or “synchronic” reading of the Sanskrit Mahābhārata, seeking thereby to displace earlier scholarship treating this theme. This review essay provides a thorough analysis of the arguments of Divine Descent and the closely linked matter of the two competing methodologies in the reading of the Sanskrit epics: the “synchronic” or holist approach championed by Brodbeck and the “analytic” approach, which views the Mahābhārata as a historically layered text. Ultimately, I argue here that the latter “analytic” solutions to the conundrum, which it was Brodbeck’s purpose to challenge, account for the matter far more persuasively. In particular, I make special reference to a 1960 study by Paul Hacker as a work of persisting value for understanding the historic development of the avatāra system over time .
西蒙-布罗德贝克(Simon Brodbeck)最近出版的一本著作(I by Simon Brodbeck, 2022 年)提出以文学整体论或 "同步 "阅读梵文《大毗婆沙论》(Mahābhārata)为基础,解决印度神话中一个由来已久的神学难题,并试图以此取代此前处理这一主题的学术研究。这篇评论文章深入分析了《神传》的论点,以及在阅读梵语史诗时两种相互竞争的方法论之间的密切联系:布罗德贝克所倡导的 "同步 "或整体主义方法,以及将《大毗婆沙论》视为历史上分层文本的 "分析 "方法。最终,我在此认为,布洛德贝克旨在挑战的后一种 "分析 "方法对这一难题的解释更有说服力。我特别提到了保罗-哈克(Paul Hacker)1960 年的一项研究,该研究对理解阿瓦塔拉系统的历史发展具有持续的价值......。

This paper examines how officials of the Qin (221–207 BCE) and Former Han (202 BCE–9 CE) empires gathered information on their far-flung domains. These empires were able to maintain control over large areas of the East Asian subcontinent because they had an effective system for obtaining information on the things that mattered most to them: people, land, resources, and transport. We have various sources on these information collection systems from both excavated and received texts. These can be considered to include not only maps, surveys, and population records, but also communication infrastructures such as roads, canals, and postal systems. The information-gathering systems of this period are important both because they worked relatively well and because they were recorded in the histories and became a model for later administrators.
