SUMMARY:“Argaḍa” and “Nirargaḍa”
DESCRIPTION:\n	Liu Zhen (National Institute for Advanced Humanistic Studies
 \, Fudan University\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair/Discussant: Michael Wi
 tzel (Wales Professor of Sanskrit\, Department of South Asian Studies\, Ha
 rvard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the South Asia Institute\n\n\n	Thi
 s talk will offer a short introduction to the Sanskrit word “argaḍa”
  and its antonym “nirargaḍa”. The word “argaḍa” first appears 
 in Brāhmaṇa literature to refer to a bolt that locks a cowshed. The wor
 d continued to be used in post-Vedic literature\, including Hindu\, Buddhi
 st\, and Jainist texts in which it refers to a bolt used on the door of a 
 house or city gate. A more detailed description of an argaḍa is\, howeve
 r\, found in the technical texts and its image is found in works of art. 
 “Argaḍa” and its antonym “nirargaḍa” later became a paired met
 aphor used in a religious context. In addition to this pair of words\, thi
 s presentation will discuss the related compound “nirargaḍamedha\,” 
 which means a kind of sacrifice.
