贾纳卡国王和圣潘查西哈之间关于个人死后命运的对话的记述是《摩诃婆罗多》的 Mokṣadharmaparvan 中包含的哲学文本之一。对于文本的历史和构成以及潘查希哈所传播的哲学教义,学术界有不同的看法。与之前的研究不同,本文不仅分析全文,还关注嵌入哲学话语的叙事框架。在文本中,彼士玛扮演着外部叙述者的角色,他关联和解释对话,并塑造主角的性格,从而影响观众接受文本的方式。有人认为,在分析文本中被反驳或接受的哲学立场时,处理叙述与所叙述的哲学话语之间的相互作用非常重要。 12.211-12 不仅是一本哲学文本,也是一个关于一般哲学话语的故事,以及关于如何向非专业观众教授数论哲学的故事。从这个角度来看,该文本对于史诗和相邻的非专家文本(例如往世书)中处理哲学术语和问题的方式具有重要意义。
The account of the conversation between King Janaka and the Ṛṣi Pañcaśikha on the fate of the individual after death is one of the philosophical texts that are included in theMokṣadharmaparvanof theMahābhārata. There are different scholarly views on the history and composition of the text as well as the philosophical teachings propagated by Pañcaśikha. In contrast to earlier studies this paper not only analyzes the whole text, but also pays attention to the narrative framework in which the philosophical discourse is embedded. In the text Bhīṣma functions as an external narrator, who relates and interprets the conversation as well as characterizes the protagonists and thereby influences the ways in which text is received by the audience. It is argued that it is important to deal with the interplay between the narrative and the philosophical discourse that is narrated, when analysing the philosophical positions that are either refuted or accepted in the text. 12.211–12 is not only a philosophical text, but also a tale about philosophical discourse in general and about how Sāṃkhya philosophy is taught to a non-expert audience. Seen from this perspective the text is significant for the way in which philosophical terms and issues are dealt with in the epic and adjacent non-expert texts, such as the Purāṇas.
