Synopsis
Contributing Authors

The Jaiminiyasamhita, which is partly unpublished, is a puranic and encyclopaedic work. In its section called Janakas question (Janakaprasna), King Kartaviryarjuna questions Dattatreya about the non-duality (advaita). The latter gives the answer that the wise Asita gave once to the mythical King Janaka. Janakas question, exactly as the Upanisads, is composed as a dialogue between a master and his disciple. Its central theme is the nature of Brahman and the relationship of the former to the body. Therefrom, the author shows the extent of his knowledge in many and various fields: embryonic development and physiological theories, cosmogonical conceptions, paradoxes of non-duality, paths to salvation, especially yoga, influenced by Tantric patterns. This editio princeps is accompanied by a translation and a commentary that goes deeper into the different topics and focuses its attention on the sources and parallel texts.

English summary: The Jaiminiyasamhita, which is partly unpublished, is a puranic and encyclopaedic work.

The latter gives the answer that the wise Asita gave once to the mythical King Janaka. Janakas question, exactly as the Upanisads, is composed as a dialogue between a master and his disciple. Its central theme is the nature of Brahman and the relationship of the former to the body. Therefrom, the author shows the extent of his knowledge in many and various fields: embryonic development and physiological theories, cosmogonical conceptions, paradoxes of non-duality, paths to salvation, especially yoga, influenced by Tantric patterns.

French description: La Jaiminiyasamhita, en partie inedite, est une oeuvre puranique de nature encyclopedique. Dans une section de six chapitres intitulee La question de Janaka (Janakaprasna), le roi Kartaviryarjuna rend visite a Dattatreya, afin de recevoir un enseignement sur l’advaita, la non-dualite. Ce dernier lui rapporte l’enseignement que le sage Asita transmit autrefois au roi mythique Janaka. Cette question de Janaka, a l’instar des Upanisad, se presente sous la forme d’un dialogue entre un maitre et un disciple. La thematique au coeur de ce dialogue concerne la nature du brahman et son rapport au corps. Elle permet a l’auteur de faire montre de l’etendue de son savoir dans des domaines aussi riches que varies: le developpement embryonnaire et les theories physiologiques, les conceptions cosmogoniques, les paradoxes de la non-dualite et les disciplines de salut, en particulier le yoga, influence par des conceptions tantriques. Cette editio princeps du Janakaprasna est accompagnee d’une traduction et d’un commentaire qui approfondit les thematiques abordees, avec une attention particuliere pour l’identification des sources et des textes paralleles.
