Description

This monograph by an eminent scholar of Sanskrit Literature introduces to the readers the extraordinary and interesting writings of Dandin along with his life history .

Dandin is one of those immortal poets of Sanskrit Literature, whose works have withstood the test of time for thousands of years and still delight our hearts with the nectar of their creations. Dandin is mentioned along with Kalidasa for his 'Padalalitya'. His 'Kavyadarsa' has acquired the beauty of a poetic composition because of the two hundred lucid aphorisms compiled in it as examples. The Kavyadarsa of Dandin is in fact an epitaph of the learned assemblies of that era..

Similarly, the 'Dasakumaracarita' is an immortal composition of the katha-literature as it is replete with the episodes and experiences of life and the society. The text presents a true picture of the contemporary society and history;' especially the eternal and the variegated mind of the people, for which the 'Dasakumaracarita' has remained popular for the past fifteen hundred years.

THE TRANSLATOR:

Dr. DEEPALI BHANOT, is a Reader in Sanskrit in Janki Devi Mahavidyalaya, University of Delhi and is a widely traveled Sanskrit scholar has participated in a number of Inter-faith International Conferences and presented papers.
