Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2002.

This study seeks to explore some of the complex ways in which particular historical and political contexts of eighth-eleventh century Pala India may have shaped the way in which Buddhist monks conceptualized and portrayed Manjusri, the Crown Prince of prajna. Special attention is given to the relationships between the production of monastic Buddhist discourses---both literary and artistic---and of the Pala state, and with exploring ways in which representations of Manjusri and his prajna may have promoted, mirrored or challenged the State's vitality and legitimation.

520 $a This study seeks to explore some of the complex ways in which particular historical and political contexts of eighth-eleventh century Pala India may have shaped the way in which Buddhist monks conceptualized and portrayed Manjusri, the Crown Prince of prajna. Special attention is given to the relationships between the production of monastic Buddhist discourses---both literary and artistic---and of the Pala state, and with exploring ways in which representations of Manjusri and his prajna may have promoted, mirrored or challenged the State's vitality and legitimation.
520 $a The monastically produced texts and artworks of both of these periods were characterized by a marked resurgence of attention to Prajnaparamita discourse, Manjusri-centric images and Manjusri texts. The portrayals of prajna and Man¯jusri in these two periods were, however, markedly distinct from one another. These differences are analyzed by positioning them against the backdrop of key political and economic changes in post-Hars&dotbelow;a North India, particularly the rise of the samanta state---changes which altered earlier patterns of Buddhist monastic patronage, and demanded that Pala monasteries cultivate particular relationships with the Pala State. A View proposes that monastic portrayals of Manjusri can be seen to mirror the nature and development of that relationship and of the changing fortunes of the Pala State.
