Rām carit mānas or The Lake of Rama's Deeds is a Rama Story sung by Tulsīdās of the 16th century in Hindi language. This Rama story is still sung and dramatized in North India on various occasions including the commemoration of Rama's birth day.Rama was born as an incarnation of God Vishnu[I-201]. But responding to the wish of his mother, he also showed himself as a normal human baby[I-202].In this paper, the portions including curses and prophecies/dreams are shown first, and then the roles they play in the work are examined.Curses are often removed by the mercy of Rama: Ahalya was cursed by her learned husband and changed into a stone, but when she touched the feet of merciful Rama, she regained the human form [I-210]. Prophecies will bring the story ahead as expected: Trijata serving the demon Ravana told Sita in prison about the dream she saw, and Rama came to rescue her soon[V-11-1, V-12-1]. We observe here the dreams come true as the prophecies.

Among many festivals celebrated by the Hindus in North India, this paper describes only five of them mainly dedicated to the Goddesses in this manner: the days and the ways they are celebrated, the stories on their origin and the songs sung on the day. The five are as follows: ・Gangaur, in which the wives pray to Gan and his wife Gaur for the long lives of their husbands.・Śītalāstomī, in which the ladies pray to the goddess of smallpox Śītalā not to attack their family members.・Vat Sāvitrī, in which the wives pray to the Goddess and pious wife Sāvitrī for the healthy life of their husbands.・Dīwālī, in which men and women invite the Goddess of wealth Laksmī to their homes.・Holī, in which men and women invite Holikā, the Goddess of spring/new year.On the occasions of these festivals goddesses living in the heaven come down to the earth and meet human beings. Thus, Hindu Festivals dedicated to the Goddesses provide excellent occasions for human beings to come closer to the heavenly Goddesses.

インドの多言語状況は、時代を通して地域的な多様性だけではなく社会的にも幾つかの層をなしていた。言語の差異を超えて愛好・伝承され続けてきた文学・文芸を対象に、古代から現代まで、多くの言語の各々を扱うことのできる総勢30名以上のインド研究者が共同して研究を進めた。その結果、民衆が自らの日常語による創作から発した抒情詩や説話、職業的吟遊詩人が担った叙事詩、それらをサンスクリット語で昇華させた宮廷詩人、さらには詩の美的表現法が現代の映画作りにも至っている、といったインドの人々の精神史の流れを解明できた。
