Abstract: There is no royal road to interpreting the 'rights' of passage of silpa ('skill'. craft') and silpin (' artist', craftsman') for their journey in time and history is embedded in contradictions. These contradictions apparently grew out of the ' high' ritual and creative antecedents of the Vedic silpa in its being a divine act of marvel and power or later in Sutra-s in the 'lowliness' of its being vrtti-s 'occupations'. With one implication intruding upon the other or displacing it altogether, contradictions seem to have been legitimized by practice.
