Indian Idylls: From the Sanskrit of the Mah�bh�rata (Classic Reprint)

3/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Indian Idylls: From the Sanskrit of the Mahabharata
Odyssey taken together. All the stories here extracted are new to English literature, with the exception of a few passages of the Siivitri and the Nala and Damayanti, which was long ago most faithfully rendered by Dean Milman, the version being published side by side with a clear and excellent Sanskrit text edited by Professor Monier Williams, C. I. E. But that presentation of the beautiful and brilliant legend with all its conspicuous merits seems better adapted to aid the student than adequately to reproduce the march of narrative, and old-world charm of the Indian tale, which I, also, have therefore ventured to transcribe; with all deference and gratitude to my predecessors.
