Preface
While I was working as the Director of the Research Department of the Bhandarkar Institute, Six Years back, I edited the 'Amaru – Sataka' with the commentary "Srngara – Dipika" of Vemabhupala. I, them, had occasion to consult the Mss. of the numerous commentaries of the Amaru – Sataka, from among which the commentary of Kokasambhava was edited and published by me in the Annals of the Institute, at that time. I also studied the commentary of Rudramadeva – Kumara, subsequently published by Dr. S. K. De, with a thorough study of the recensions of the text of the Sataks, in 'Our Heritage', Vol.II part II, 1954. This Rudramadev – kumara was identified by me as Pratapa - Rudra of the Kakatiya Dynasty, in an article published by me in the Annals of the Bhandarakar Institute, Vol. Xxxiii, Part iii-iv, 1954, pp. 249-254.
The text of the present drama is based on a Photostat copy of a manuscript from the Wilson Collecti on at Oxford, obtained for me by the late Prof. P. K. Gong, through the courtesy of the librarian of Oxford, and is probably the same unintelligible Ms. on which is based Wilson's account of the Present drama in his "Specimens of the Hindu Theatre, "Vol.II.
I am conscious of the hazards I am running in editing this drama from a single unintelligible Ms. I am also conscious of the many imperfections which must have crept in this work and which could have been eliminated but for the crippling paralysis of the right side, from which I have been suffering for the last four years and over.
I have great pleasure in acknowledging the courtesy of Dr. R. N. Dandekar, Padma Bhusana, in including the present work in one of the series published by the Bhandarkar Institute; and my warmest thanks are due to my friend Prof. G. H. Ranade, who typed the
