Title A name given to the resource Kingship and Vedic Literature: Inflections, Deflections and Reflections Description An account of the resource This chapter seeks to examine the figurations and configurations of 'kingship' reflected in different Vedic literary narratives in general and particularly aims at foregrounding how 'kingship' that happens to be one of the oldest forms of political governance, originated in Vedic times and how it became multifaceted with the passage of time. This chapter particularly seeks to employ three epistemological lenses - govern(mentality), sacral (infra)structuralism and planetarity - to lay down how the Vedic notion of 'kingship' underwent 'intensive' changes and how it stood in conformity with varied dimensions of contemporary political ecology. Besides that, this chapter aims at bringing out how Vedic notion of 'kingship' embodies the limits of 'human' by means of performing a liaison between the Almighty and ordinary human beings. Finally, at the end, royal haecceities of Vedic 'kingship' are critically taken up to facilitate readers to grasp the ontological and onticological fluidity of Vedic understanding of 'kingship'. 2024 selection and editorial matter, Nizar Zouidi; individual chapters, the contributors.
