New inscriptions found on a series of limestone slabs along the Krishna River in Andhra Pradesh have revealed a 1,200-year-old philosophical discourse termed 'Dharma-Jyoti'. The inscriptions, written in an elegant Vengi script, outline a metaphysics of 'Luminous Action,' where every ethical deed is described as a literal emission of light that affects the subtle architecture of the universe.
Scholars from the Andhra Historical Society state that the text provides a detailed guide on how to cultivate 'inner radiance' through selfless service and the study of the Upanishads. The find is significant for its poetic integration of physical light metaphors with social ethics, suggesting a highly aestheticized approach to Sanatan Dharma in the medieval Deccan region.
