Volume 8. Vāsavadattā, a Sanskrit Romance by Subandhu.
Translated, with an introduction and notes, by LOUIS H. GRAY,
Ph.D. New York, 1913. Cloth, 8vo, pp. xiii + 214, $1.50 net
This romance is one of the best examples of the artificial and ornate style
in Sanskrit prose. Besides the translation, the volume will also contain
the transliterated text of the South Indian recension, which differs to
a noteworthy degree from that of Hall, and a bibliography. The relation
of the Sanskrit romance to the Occidental, especially the Greek, will be
discussed in the introduction, and the notes will include parallels of incident
in modern Indian and other folk-tales, as well as points of resemblance
with other Sanskrit romances.
VOLUMES IN PREPARATION
In addition to the Sanskrit Grammar for Beginners, the fol-
lowing volumes are also in preparation :
The Sanskrit Poems of Mayūra, edited with a translation and
notes and an introduction, together with Bāṇa's Caṇḍīśataka
and Mānatunga's Bhaktāmarastotra, by G. PAYN QUACKENBOS,
A.M., Tutor in Latin, College of the City of New York.
This volume presents the works of a Sanskrit poet of the seventh century.
Besides the Sūryaśataka it includes also the Mayūrāṣṭaka, printed for the
first time from the unique birch-bark MS. in the Tübingen University
Library. The introduction gives an account of Mayūra's life and works,
and the appendixes will contain the text and translation of the supposedly
rival poems by Bāṇa and Mānatunga.
Priyadarśikā, a Hindu Drama ascribed to King Harsha. Trans-
lated from the Sanskrit and Prakrit by G. K. NARIMAN and
A. V. WILLIAMS JACKSON, with notes and an introduction by
the latter.
This romantic drama on the adventures of a lost princess was supposedly
written by Harsha, king of Northern India in the seventh century, and is
now to be published for the first time in English translation. Besides
giving an account of the life and times of the author, the introduction
will deal also with the literary, linguistic, and archaeological aspects of
the play.
