Book Description

The Priyadarsika is a romantic comedy in four acts and is named after the heroine, the daughter of Drdhavarman, King of Anga.The plot of Priyadarsika is derived from the semi-legendary life of king Udayana as given in the Brhatkatha of Gunadhya. The story of the loves of Udayana also known as Vatsaraja, and of his romantic adventures seems to have been exceedingly popular in ancient India as is evident from the references to it by many sanskrit poets.It contains an exhaustive introduction, a short but sufficiently explanatory commentary in sanskrit various readings, a literal english translation, copious notes and useful appendices.

Book Description

The Ratnavali or the 'Jewel Necklace' is a drama of the Natika type by Sriharsa. The theme is the marriage, through various obstacles and at the clever intervention of the minister Yaugandharayana, of king Udayana and Ratnavali, daughter of the king of Ceylon. A brief but sufficiently exhaustive commentary in Sanskrit has been written, as there was no suitable ancient commentary available on this play. Another feature of this edition is the introduction wherein all that has been known of the author and the play has been put together for ready reference and systematic study.

Book Description

King Harsha, who reigned over the kingdom of Kanauj from 606 to 647 CE, composed two Sanskrit plays about the mythical figures of King Udayana, his queen, Vásava·datta, and two of his co-wives. The plays abound in mistaken identities, both political and erotic. The characters masquerade as one another and, occasionally, as themselves, and each play refers simultaneously to itself and to the other.
