Opis

Excerpt from Historical Gleanings Vijaya, with Guierat by some writers cannot be at all correct. In several places in the Pali Jatakas,1 there are references to highly renowned teachers living at Taxila and to the various subjects taught there. In one of the Jatakas, a very beautiful picture of the student life of those days has been drawn (jataka, p. A son of the King of Benares went to arts axila from a renowned teacher. He carrie gold coins as teacher's fee. 1 In those days, there were two classes of pupils - (i) those who used to pay for their education; (ii) those who served their teacher during the day-time in lieu of payment and received lessons during the night. The paying pupils used to live in the house of their teacher like his eldest son. Corporal punishment for offences was not unknown in those days: there is a reference to a prince being beaten by his preceptor for an offence. For the Cittasambhuta Jataka} it appears that lessons were given to the upper classes only, namely, to the Brahmins and Ksatriyas, for it has been said there' that two Candala youths disguised as Brahmins were learning sciences from a teacher, but were expelled when found out. Of the subjects taught, the three Vedas and eighteen Vijjas are frequently mentioned. The three Vedas are the Rigveda, Samaveda, and Yajurveda. The Atharvaveda as the fourth Veda has been men tioned nowhere in the Pali Jatakas. In many places3 pupils have been described as learning sippas (silpas) only, but the word sippa appears to have been used in the comprehensive sense of learning.
