Gurukul History

Editorial method and sources

Three kinds of statement

A story can be told as tradition tells it, examined as historians examine it, or read for what it means today. We say which of the three we are doing, and we do not present one as another.

Retellings

Saga retellings follow the order and events of a named work. The wording is our own. Where well-known versions differ, we note it or follow the commonly read text.

Translations

Short renderings of verses on saga pages are plain-language versions for readers, not quotations of published translations. The holy-book atlases list their own editions, translators and licences.

Images

Saga illustrations are artist's impressions in the manner of Indian miniature painting. They do not show identified historical people or scenes. Manuscript and museum photographs in the atlases carry their own credits.
