Select Contents of Oriental Journals

This section provides an annotated list of articles appearing in various oriental journals, serving as a bibliographic resource for scholars. It begins with contents from the ‘Half‑Yearly Journal of the Mysore University,’ mentioning an article by H. N. Raghavendracharya on Chaitanya in Advaita, and then lists papers from the ‘Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society,’ such as H. Hiraś’s study of the royal patrons of the University of Nalanda and A. Banerji‑Sastri’s examination of weights in ancient India. Summaries from the ‘Journal of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society’ include V. S. Bakhle’s exploration of Satavahana coinage and S. Krishnaswami Aiyangar’s research on the early history of the Chālukya dynasties. Items from the ‘Quarterly Journal of the Andhra Historical Research Society’ cite S. V. Vira Raghavachariar’s note on the date of the Niśśaṅkuḍa Dharmaśāstra and Jagabandhu Singh’s work on Kalinga. The section also references articles from German periodicals like ‘Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft’ on Vedic astronomy by Julius von Negelein, and from French journals such as ‘Journal Asiatique’ on Upaniṣadic concepts. Brief annotations highlight each article’s main theme—for example, the discovery of new Gupta inscriptions, translations of Persian plays into Sanskrit and studies of Buddhist commanders‑in‑chief. Collectively, the section offers researchers a concise overview of significant research across a range of disciplines—philology, history, numismatics, epigraphy and religious studies—and across numerous languages and regions.
