‘His body is human, but he has a tiracchāna heart’: An Ethnographic Study of the Epigenesis of Child Abuse in Cambodia - Maurice Eisenbruch Professor - Psychiatry Monash Health
The first mention of child abuse in South and Southeast Asia is from two millennia ago, in the Indian Jātaka. The Seggu Jātaka tells of a father who, wanting to confirm his young daughter’s virginity, takes her to the forest and threatens to rape her to gauge her reaction and thereby verify her honor. According to Jayatunge (2013), he had planned to rape her if he found she was not a virgin. In his mind, this is not incest, even though, of course, it most certainly is. The Vessantara Jātakaya, 14 meanwhile, tells of the Brahmin Juthaka, who stole the children Jaliya and Krishnajina from their parents, beat them, and dragged them off to become his servants.

Eisenbruch's first sentence on Seggu Jataka reads as “The Seggu Jātaka tells of a father who, wanting to confirm his young daughter’s virginity, takes her to the forest and threatens to rape her to gauge her reaction and thereby verify her honor." This, I believe, is a correct interpretation of the original text of the Jataka story. According to the Jataka story, the greengrocer’s intention is not to rape her daughter, but he clearly threatens to rape her and pretends as he is going to do so.
ReplyDeleteThe following, I believe, is a reasonably accurate translation of the original Pali canon.
He led her into the woods, and seized her by the hand, making as though he had conceived a passion for her. And as she cried out in woe, he addressed her in the words of the first stanza:
"All the world’s on pleasure bent;
Ah, my baby innocent!
Now I've caught you, pray don't cry;
As the town does, so do I."

Eisenbruch's second sentence refers to what you have written, not to the original Jataka, and states that “According to Jayatunge (2013), he had planned to rape her if he found she was not a virgin. ” which could be a misinterpretation of what you’ve written in your book/article. This blog post would have been more meaningful if you copied the relevant section from your book/article so that it is clear to a reader, who has not read your book, that Eisenbruch, in fact, has misinterpreted you.
Also, since this is still a working paper and the relevant sentence is expendable, Eisenbruch will most likely make a minor revision before publishing it, if you inform him.
