What reading level is Buddhist India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is ample evidence in the Buddhist and Jain records, and in Asoka inscriptions, of the existence of these samajjaSy as they were called, as a regular institution. ' That they are not mentioned in the priestly books need inspire no doubt upon the point. This is only another instance of the priestly habit of persistently ignoring what they did not like. We see from the Sigalovada Suttanta ^ that recitations, or the telling of stories, in mixed prose and verse {akkhdnd), also took place at th...ese meetings. But this seems, from the evidence at present attainable, to have been distinct ; and the interpretation of the word I have rendered '* scenery'* is open to doubt. We cannot talk, therefore, as yet, of drama. When we see, however, that these meetings took place at sacred places, on the hilltops, and that high officials were in- vited and had special seats provided for them, we find ourselves in presence, not of private undertakings, but of such religious and communal ceremonies as those to which the beginnings of drama have else- where also been traced back.
