Extract

In the Bulletin of the School of Oriental Studies, London, at pp. 107 to 117 of III, 1, are to be found some criticisms by Messrs. Krishna Pishāroḍi and Rama Pishāroḍi on my views of Bhāsa and his authorship of Svapna-Vāsavadatta and the connected dramas published in the Trivandrum Sanskrit Series. Their arguments are summarized hereunder with replies thereto:—

I. “Every open-minded critic must perforce admit that Pratimā-nāṭaka must come after Kālidāsa, Chārudatta after Śūdraka, and Avimāraka after Daṇḍin.”

page 635 note 1 The Pishāroḍis say that the name of the author of Kalyāṇa-Saugandhika is unknown. Evidently they have had no access to a complete copy of this single-act drama, which is well known and can be obtained everywhere in Kerala. In the Sthāpanā the author's name is mentioned. It is, therefore, surprising that persons who take so much interest in Kerala dramas should be ignorant of even the author's name.
