The Caryāpadas: its language and religious meaning
Taimr, Martin ; Hříbek, Martin (advisor) ; Marková, Dagmar (referee)
This work aims to provide an overview of topic through the summary of available secondary literature. The discussed topic is one thousand years old Bengali religious songs. About fifty of these songs were discovered one hundred years ago in a Nepalese archive. Authors of the songs were mostly Buddhist laymen and masters from the area of nowadays Bangladesh and West Bengal. These songs are considered by scholars to be the oldest specimen of literature written in Bengali language although this pre-eminent position is claimed by closely related Indo-Aryan languages like Assamese, Bihari and Oriya too. Beside the philological aspect we are concerned with a particular coded language used in these songs. Then we discuss their content and spiritual meaning and we place the ideas they express into wider religious context.

The symbolism of flowers in the Hindu ritual
Duda, Petr ; Vacek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Marková, Dagmar (referee)
Plants and flowers play a relatively important role in the Hindu ritual and the elaborated system of rules concerning the suitability and unsuitability of particular flowers for particular gods offers an interesting subject of study in the field of ritual symbolism. This thesis attempts to describe the use of plants in the Hindu pj ritual and their possible symbolic functions. After summing up the present knowledge about the origin of the worship of deities in India in the last centuries of the period of Brahmanism within the Vedic domestic ritual tradition and stating the general similarities and differences between the temple and the domestic versions of the studied ritual, the thesis focuses on the latter, simpler version. A comparison of several primary materials has shown that the structure of the individual ritual acts during the ceremony is fixed and identical for all deities. The pjs for the individual gods and goddesses primarily differ on the level of the pronounced mantras. However, some specifics can be found with the offerings as well, while the most extensive instructions concerning the suitable and unsuitable offerings are those dealing with flowers. The analysis of more than three dozens of such passages has shown that besides a group of flowers which can be used for the worship of deities...

The partition of India and its reflection in Hindi literature
Tenzin, Eva ; Marková, Dagmar (advisor) ; Bendíková, Soňa (referee)
Úkolem této práce je pojednat o hindské literatuře věnující se rozdělení Indie. Při shromažďování materiálu a přípravných pracích jsem zjistila, že z hlediska daného tématu jsou hindská a urdská literatura neodlučitelné. V obou se jeví paralelní pohledy na situaci, pro obě je problematika stejně palčivá. Proto jsem nemohla nechat urdskou literaturu stranou. V rámci bakalářské práce nemohu ovšem zahrnout vše, co bylo na obou stranách k dané problematice napsáno, a tak jsem se soustředila především na tématické okruhy, které byly pro tuto literaturu typické. Zaměřila jsem se na různost jejich zpracování v dílech několika autorů, které považuji za nejvýraznější představitele literatury té doby, ať již na straně indické, či pákistánské.

The influence of Arabic and Persian language on the development of Hindi
Gamza, Dagna ; Kostič, Svetislav (advisor) ; Marková, Dagmar (referee)
Cílem této bakálařké práce je stručně seznámit s příchodem perštiny a arabštiny do Indie, s jejím působením v Indii a s novými jazyky, které z této dlouhodobé přitomnosti perštiny a arabštiny na indickém subkontinentu vznikly. Také se pokusím podat stručný přehled perských a arabských prvků patrných v hindském jazyce, jako je především rozsáhlá slovní zásoba, užívání perských afixů, perského genitivu, vokativu a plurálu, arabského atributivnícho genitivu a adverbiálního akuzativu. Ve své práci bych chtěla uvést sémantické kategorie persko-arabských přejatých slov a hybridních kompozit v hindštině a urdštině a fonologické a morfologické změny, kterými přejatá slova musela projít. Speciální kapitola je věnovaná urdskému písmu a písmu Nastalík.

The portrait of mystic poet Mahadevi Varma
Zmeková, Barbora ; Kostič, Svetislav (advisor) ; Marková, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis presents the mystic poetess Mahadevi Varma, whose poetic work is of the Chhayavad period of Hindi poetry. The thesis introduces the reader to the dynamics of modern Hindi poetry. The main focus is on Varma's life and includes an analysis of her poetic work. The paper addresses Varma's use of traditional Indian literary elements in a modern context, which represents characteristic features of Chhayavad in general. A distinguishing factor of this thesis are translations of Mahadevi Varma's poems from Hindi into Czech. The translations are not direct translations but take poetic license to retain the spirit of the poetry in Czech.
