PREFACE.
JL HE following pages are the result of an endeavour to furnish
English students of Sanskrit with a correct edition of the most
celebrated drama of India's greatest dramatist. About a century
has elapsed since Sir W. Jones discovered that there existed in
India a number of Natakas or Sanskrit dramas, many of them of
great antiquity ; some abounding in poetry of undoubted merit,
and all of them containing valuable pictures of Hindu life and
manners. Eager to apply the means thus gained of filling what
was before an empty niche in the Temple of Sanskrit Literature,
Sir W. Jones addressed himself at once to translate into English
the Sakuntala, which he was told was the most admired of all the
extant plays.
This work is by the illustrious Kalidasa, who is supposed by some
native authorities (though on insufficient grounds) to have lived in
UjjayinI, the capital of king Vikramaditya, whose reign is the
starting-point of the Hindu era called Samvat, beginning 57 years
B.C. Kalidasa is described as one of the 'nine gems' of that
monarch's splendid court. It seems, however, more probable that
Kalidasa flourished in the third century of the Christian era
(see p. 474 of Indian Wisdom, published by W. H. Allen & Co.,
13, Waterloo Place, London). The Sakuntala is acknowledged on
all hands to be the masterpiece of the great Indian poet. Indeed, no
composition of Kalidasa displays more the richness and fertility of
his poetical genius, the exuberance of his imagination, the warmth
and play of his fancy, his profound knowledge of the human heart,
his delicate appreciation of its most refined and tender emotions, his
familiarity with the workings and counter-workings of its con-
flicting feelings, in short, more entitles him to rank as 'the
Shakespeare of India.' On the Continent such men as Goethe,

vi PREFACE.
Schlegel, and Humboldt have all expressed their admiration of the
Hindu poet's greatest work. Goethe's four well-known lines,
written in 1792, are
' Willst du die Bliithe des frtihen, die Friichte des spateren Jahres,
Willst du was reizt und entzuckt, willst du was sattigt und nahrt,
Willst du den Himmel, die Erde, mit einem Namen begreifen :
Nenn' ich Sakontald dich, und so ist Alles gesagt V
Unfortunately the Pandits omitted to inform Sir W. Jones that
the multiplication of manuscripts of this play, consequent upon
its popularity, had led to a perplexing result, not, however,
unexampled, as has since been proved by what has happened to
the Ramayana, namely, that the numerous manuscripts separated
themselves into two classes : the one, embracing all those in Deva-
nagari writing, which, without being uniform, had still a community
of character ; the other, all those in Bengali.
These two classes of MSS. are usually distinguished by the
names ' Deva-nagari recension ' and ' Bengali recension/ which
terms may conveniently be adopted. The Deva-nagari recension
1 Thus translated by Mr. E. B. Eastwick :
' Wouldst thou the young year's blossoms and the fruits of its decline,
And all by which the soul is charmed, enraptured, feasted, fed,
Wouldst thou the earth, and heaven itself in one sole name combine ?
I name thee, Sakuntala ! and all at once is said.'
Augustus William von Schlegel, in his first Lecture on Dramatic Literature, says :
' Among the Indians, the people from whom perhaps all the cultivation of the human
race has been derived, plays were known long before they could have experienced any
foreign influence. It has lately been made known in Europe that they have a rich
dramatic literature, which ascends back for more than two thousand years. The only
specimen of their plays (Nataks) hitherto known to us is the delightful Sakontala,
which, notwithstanding the colouring of a foreign climate, bears in its general structure
a striking resemblance to our romantic drama.'
Alexander von Humboldt, in treating of Indian poetry, observes : ' The name of
Kalidasa has been frequently and early celebrated among the western nations. This
great poet flourished at the splendid court of Vikramaditya, and was, therefore,
contemporary with Virgil and Horace. The English and German translations of the
Sakuntala have excited the feeling of admiration which has been so amply bestowed
upon Kalidasa. Tenderness in the expression of feelings, and richness of creative
fancy, have assigned to him his lofty place among the poets of all nations.' In another
place he says : ' Kalidasa is a masterly describer of the influence which Nature
exercises upon the minds of lovers. The scene in the forest, which he introduced in
the drama of Vikrama and Urvas'I, is one of the most beautiful and poetical produc-
tions which has appeared in any time.'
PREFACE. vii
is thought by most scholars to be the older and purer. Many of
the readings of the Bengali, however, have been defended by
Dr. R. Pischel and others ; and this recension has been followed
by the Sahitya-darpana, one MS. of which bears the date 1504
of our era. The MSS. of the Deva-nagari class are chiefly found
in the Upper Provinces of India, where the great demand has
produced copyists without scholarship, who have faithfully tran-
scribed what they did not understand, and, therefore, could not
designedly alter. On the other hand, the copyists in Bengal
have been Pandits whose cacoethes for amplifying and interpolating
has led to much repetition and amplification. Many examples
might here be adduced; but I will only refer to the third Act
of the Bengali recension, where the love-scene between the King
and Sakuntala has been expanded to four or five times the length
it occupies in the MSS. of the Deva-nagari recension. Even the
names of the dramatis personse have been altered : Dushyanta is
changed into Dushmanta ; Anasuya into Anusiiya ; Vatayana into
Parvatayana ; Sanumati into Misrakesi ; Taralika into Pin-galika ;
Dhanamitra into Dhanavriddhi ; Markandeya into San-kocana.
Unhappily it was a MS. of this recension, and not a very
good specimen of its class, that Sir W. Jones used for his trans-
lation. From him, therefore, was gained, about a century ago,
the earliest incorrect knowledge of this, the first Sanskrit play
known to Europeans. No edition of the text appeared till about
forty years afterwards, when one was produced in 1830, after
immense labour, at Paris, by M. Che'zy. He deserved great credit
for the difficulties he surmounted ; but his edition was also from a
MS. of the Bengali recension. It abounded also in typographical
and other more serious errors. An edition of the Sakuntala was
subsequently printed in Calcutta, also from Bengali MSS. and in
Bengali character, by Prema-c'andra, dated Saka 1761 (A.D. 1839).
Several editions of the Bengali recension have been printed at
Calcutta in the Deva-nagari character; one in 1860 by Prema-
candra (under the superintendence of Professor E. B. Cowell), for
European scholars ; others in 1864 and 1870.
It was reserved for Dr. Boehtlingk to be the first to edit the
Deva-nagari recension of this play at Bonn in the year 1842. No
other edition of the text of this recension was published until my
first edition in 1853. An edition of the same recension was
published at Bombay in 1861, and one at Breslau in 1872 by
viii PREFACE.
Dr. Burkhard, Professor in the University of Bonn, to which is
added a glossary.
The translations which have been published since that of Sir
W. Jones and the German version of his translation by Forster,
in 1791, are first, the French of M. Chezy; subsequently the
German of Hirzel, Riickert, and Boehtlingk ; a Danish translation
by Hammerich ; and more recently, another German translation in
prose and verse by Meier ; not to speak of Danish and Italian
versions of Sir W. Jones' English ; and my own English transla-
tion, the fourth edition of which was published (by W. H. Allen &
Co., 13, Waterloo Place, London) in 1872.
The great Indian dramatist only wrote two other dramas.
Of the Vikramorvasi, the twin play of the Sakuntala, two editions
have appeared on the Continent ; one at Bonn, by Lenz, and a
more perfect one at St. Petersburg, by Bollensen : an edition of
this play was also printed at the Education press in Calcutta in
1830, and one by myself in 1849, and another at Calcutta in 1869.
Translations by Hoefer and Hirzel have been published in Germany,
and in England by Wilson in prose and verse, and a literal transla-
tion in English prose by Professor Cowell. The third play, called
Malavikagnimitra, was edited at Bonn, by Tullberg; and a more
correct edition, with English notes, by Shankar P. Pandit, was
published at Bombay in 1869. This drama has been ably trans-
lated into German by Professor Weber.
I am bound to acknowledge that I made free use of Dr.
Boehtlingk's edition of the text of the Sakuntala in preparing
the first edition for the press. The merit of his work can hardly
be overrated; but I may, without presumption, say that I dis-
covered many better readings, corrected a few errors, and introduced
much original matter in the shape of annotations. It is no
disparagement of Dr. Boehtlingk's labours to say that his edition
does not adapt itself to the exigencies of an English student. The
notes are in German ; they are printed at the end of the volume
a practical obstacle to their utility; and they frequently contain
corrections of the text. My experience has led me to prefer a
system of synopsis, both in respect of the notes and metres.
In regard to the text of the present volume, if I have succeeded
in producing a more correct edition of the Deva-nagari recension,
than those of Dr. Boehtlingk and Dr. Burkhard, the merit is due
to the more ample materials which have been placed at my com-
PREFACE. ix
mand. In preparing the first edition I took care to avail myself of
Dr. Boehtlingk's corrections of himself, and his after-thoughts at
the end of his work, as well as of such critical remarks as coincided
with my own views. Often working independently of him, I
arrived at similar results, because I had access to all the materials
whence his Apparatus Criticus was composed. Dr. Boehtlingk's
edition was not prepared (as he has himself explained) from original
MSS. Professors Brockhaus and Westergaard, having more or less
carefully collated certain MSS. in the East India House Library
and in the Bodleian at Oxford, and made partial extracts from three
native Commentaries, handed over the results of their labours to
him. All these MSS. and Commentaries were placed at my
disposal, and most of them left in my possession until the com-
pletion of my work. Not a passage was printed without a careful
collation of all of them, and the three Commentaries were consulted
from beginning to end.
The MSS. which I principally used, were
1. A MS. from the Colebrooke Collection, and therefore from
the Eastern side of India, numbered 1718.
2. A MS. from the Mackenzie Collection, and therefore from
Southern India, numbered 2696.
3. A MS. from the Taylor Collection, and therefore from
Western India, numbered 1858, dated Saka 1734.
All these belong to the India Office Library, and represent the
three Indian Presidencies respectively.
4. A copy of a very good MS. at Bombay, presented to me by
Mr. Shaw of the Bombay Civil Service.
5. An old Bengali MS. belonging to the India Office Library,
numbered 1060.
6. A very old Bengali MS. from the Wilson Collection in the
Bodleian.
I consulted other Bengali MSS., but rarely admitted readings
from them, unless supported by some one of the Deva-nagari.
Thus the verses which I inserted at the beginning of the third Act
are supported throughout by my own and the Taylor MS., and
partially by that of the Mackenzie Collection.
The following are the three Indian Commentators
1. Katavema, whose commentary, from the Mackenzie Collection
at the India Office, is the only one in the Nagarl character. He
was the son of Kata Bhupa, minister of Vasanta (himself the author
b
x PREFACE.
of a dramatic work called Vasanta-rajiya), king of Kumara-giri,
a place on the frontiers of the Nizam's dominions. He must
have lived after the commencement of the sixteenth century,
as he quotes Halayudha, the author of the Kavi-rahasya (see
Westergaard's preface to the Radices Linguae Sanskritse). This
commentary is very corrupt, but where it is intelligible, is of
great use in throwing light on the more difficult passages of this
play.
2. San-kara, whose commentary, from the Wilson Collection in
the Bodleian Library, is on the Bengali recension, and written in
the Bengali character. In many places it agrees with the readings
of the Deva-nagari recension, or at least notices them.
3. 6andra-sekhara, whose commentary, belonging to the India
Office, is also on the Bengali recension, and generally only repeats
the words of San-kara. If this (5andra-sekhara is the same person
as the father of Visva-natha, author of the Sahitya-darpana,
he probably lived in the fifteenth century.
I never failed to consult the three commentaries before deciding
on the reading of my text, and made their interpretations the basis
of the literal translations of the metrical part of the play given in
the notes.
In this second edition, I have constantly consulted Dr. Burkhard's
text and glossary, and where better readings have been discovered,
they are generally mentioned in my notes.
On comparing the present edition with the previous one, it will
be observed that the red type has been dispensed with, and the
Sanskrit interpretation of the Prakrit passages has been given in
small type below.
In the Hindu drama, as is well known, the women and
inferior characters speak in Prakrit the name given to the collo-
quial Sanskrit, prevalent throughout a great part of India in
early times. This spoken form of Sanskrit, which was really the
precursor of the present vernacular tongues, must have varied
greatly, and particular dialects must have belonged to particular
districts and classes of men. There is, however, but one principal
Prakrit, peculiar to the plays, viz. the Maharashtri, although
specimens of some varieties occasionally occur, and two of them
may be found in the interlude between the fifth and sixth Acts
of this play (see p. 217, note 2, and see Indian Wisdom, p. xxix,
note 2).
PREFACE. xi
Other improvements and alterations will be noticed. For
example, the rules of Sandhi have generally been carried out,
even in the Sanskrit interpretation of the Prakrit ; the text
and renderings in the notes have been carefully revised, and
reference has been constantly made to Dr. Burkhard's edition;
the stage-directions and names of the speakers have been printed
in small type.
Mr. E. L. Hogarth, M. A., of Brasenose College, who has
acted as Deputy Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford during my
absence in India, has superintended the progress of this second
edition of the Sakuntala. through the press, and has added a
useful index.
My grateful acknowledgments are due to the Delegates of the
Clarendon Press for the encouragement they are giving to the
study of Sanskrit and Oriental literature generally, by undertaking
the publication of standard works like the Sakuntala.

sthdnam, C.; = niddnam, S'. Prapannah = upetah, K. The Bengali MSS.
have prasannah. The worshippers of S'iva, who were Pantheists in the
sense of believing that S'iva was himself all that exists as well as the
cause of all that is, held that there were eight different manifestations
of their god, called Rudras (viz. Rudra, Bhava, Sarva, Isana, Pasu-pati,
Bhima, Ugra, Maha-deva), and that these had their types or representatives
in the eight visible forms enumerated here. So the Vishnu-purana (Wilson,
p. 58, large ed.), ' Brahma assigned to them their respective stations :
water, the sun, earth, fire, air, ether, the officiating Brahman \dlkshito
brdhmanah], and the moon ; these are termed their visible forms [tana-
vah].' In the opening of Malavik. mention is made of S'iva upholding
the universe by means of these forms, ashtdbhis tanubhir bibhratah
Jcritsnam jagad api. See also Kumara-s. iv. 76. S'an-kara, with far-
fetched subtilty, points out how each of these types of S'iva is intended
by the poet to correspond with circumstances in the life of S'akuntala.
Thus, yd srislitih, &c., is compared with the sentiment in verse 43 ; and
ye dve, &c., with the two female friends.
1 'At the end of the Nandi, the Sutra-dhara (speaks).' In the Hindu
drama every piece commences with a prologue, which is preceded by the
Nandi or opening benediction, invoking the favour of some deity. It is
called Nandi because it rejoices the hearts of the gods ; nandanty asydm
surd yasmdt tena ndndl praklrtitd, S'. The Sahitya-darpana (p. 135)
says, ' "What is recited in praise of a deity, a Brahman, a king, or the like,
combined with a benediction, is called Nandi.' It is said to be employed
vighnopasdntaye, 'for the removal of obstacles.' The Sutra-dhara was
the principal manager who regulated the thread or rules of the drama ;
yena nartaniya-katJid-sutram prathamam sucyate, S'. He is otherwise,
especially when not a Brahman, called the Sthapaka, 'he who fixes or
establishes the action of the play;' kdvydrtJia-sthdpandt, C. Sthdpakah
sutradlidra-sadrisa-gundkdrah, ' the Sthapaka has qualities and an ap-
pearance like those of the Sutra-dhara,' Sahit.-d. p. 137, 1. 6. Sutra-
dhdra-padena atra sthdpako 'bhimatah sutradhdra-samdndkdratvdt, S'.
Bharata says, Sutradhdrah pathen ndndlm madhyamam [prathamam, C.]
svaram dsritah, 'the Sutra-dhara should recite the Nandi, employing a
tone neither high nor low.' He was generally a Brahman, and therefore
qualified to recite the Nandi in his own person. He did so, however, as
a Brahman, and not in his character of manager, which he did not assume
till he had concluded the Nandi. Ndndy-ante siltradhdrah is therefore
equivalent to ' at the end of the Nandi, or after reciting the Nandi, the
Sutra-dhara continues speaking.' So Candra-sekhara, Ndndl, etad-ante
sutradhdro vadati, ndndlm pathitvd anyad vadati ity arthah. Hence the
word pravisya, 'entering/ is not required; the reciter of the Nandi
remaining on the stage in the character of manager. \Iti nayena
ndndy-ante sutradhdra-praveso 'pdstah, C.] If the manager happened
not to be a Brahman, he seems to have had no right to the title Sutra-
dhdra, nor could he recite the Nandi, but in that case some Brahman
pronounced the blessing, and the manager was called Sthapaka. Such,
at least, seems to be the meaning of Bharata's aphorism \ran-ga-pujdm
vidhdya ddau sutradhdre vinirgate sthdpakah praviset pascdt sutradhdra-
gundkritih], though all the extant plays make the Sutra-dhara first recite
the benediction, arid then carry on the dialogue. The Sahit.-d., p. 137,
has the following : Iddnlm purva-ran-yasya samyak-prayogdbhdvdd ekct
eva sutradJidrah sarvam proyojayati iti vyavahdrah sa sthdpakah, ' in these
days, from the want of a complete performance of the Purva-ran-ga, the
custom is that the Sutra-dhara alone does all, and he is the Sthapaka.'
The blessing is usually followed by some mention of the author of the
piece, an appeal to the favour of the audience, and a short dialogue
between the manager and an attendant actor (pdripdrsvika). In the
present play, an actress sings a song for the amusement of the audience.
2 'Looking towards the tiring-room,' which was behind the stage,

' looking behind the scenes.' Nepaihyam-=vyatiriktam yavanikantaritam,
varnikd-grahanddi-yogyam nata-varga- stJtdnam, K. ' } = bhushana-sthdnam
ran-gdd vahih-stham, C., S 7 . In a Hindu theatre, a curtain [apatl, pata,
yavanikd] suspended across the stage, answered the purposes of scenes.
Behind it there was the space called nepathya, where the decorations were
kept, and where the actors attired themselves and remained in readiness
before entering the stage ; whither also they withdrew on leaving it.
When an actor was to come on hurriedly, the stage-direction is patdksJie-
pena or apafl-kshepena, ' with a hurried toss of the curtain/ When he
was to say something whilst hidden from the audience in this space
behind the curtain, the direction is nepathye, '(a voice) in the postscenium.'
As to nepathya-vidlidnam in the next line [=.prasddhana-kriyd, S'.], it may
be translated, ' the act of decoration/ ' making the toilet,' or perhaps, ' the
arrangements of the tiring-room.' Nepathye yad vidhiyate tan nepathya-
vidhanam. Katavema has naipathya. Nepathyam vidhd-=nepathyam ra6
or nepathyam kri. Compare Ratnavall, p. 2, 1. 16.

2 ' With the new drama called " Token-S'akuntala," or " Ring-(recog-

(Gram. 775); n t one i n which the terms are inverted, but one in which
there is uttara-pada-lopa or madhyama-pada-lopa, ' elision of the second
member.' On the authority of Candra-sekhara, the second member to be
supplied is smritd, 'recognized;' and abhijiidna is 'the token of recog-
nition the ring.' The compound will thus be equivalent to dbJiijndna-
smritd Sakuntald, ' S'akuntala recognized by the token.' So sdka-pdrthiva,
' the king of the era,' is equivalent to sdka-priya-pdrthiva, ' the king
beloved by the era.'

or, 'by reason of (our) good acting, nothing will be wanting to your
honour;' or, 'by reason of your honour's (skill in the) management of

fore-(part of his) body through fear of the descent of the arrow ; strewing
the road with grass half-chewed which drops from his mouth kept open
from exhaustion. See ! by reason of his lofty boundings he springs
forward chiefly in the air, little on the ground.' For baddha-drishti, com-
pare Raghu-v. i. 40, syandandbaddlia-drislitishu. Pravishtah purva-kdyam
is equivalent to pravishta-purva-kayah, lit. 'entering the fore-part of his

the stage-directions, are synonymous, and may both be translated by
'acting,' 'gesticulating,' 'exhibiting by gesticulation.' The properties
and paraphernalia of the Hindu stage were as limited as the scenery ;
and though seats, thrones, weapons, and cars were introduced, yet much
had to be supplied by the imaginations of the spectators, assisted by the
gesticulations of the actors. Thus, though the car of Dushyanta might
have been represented on the stage, the horses would be left to the
imagination, and the speed of the chariot would only be indicated by the
gesticulations of the charioteer.
1 ' The reins being loosed, these chariot-horses gallop along as if with
impatience of the speed of the deer [i. e. impatient or emulous of its
speed], having the fore-part of their bodies well stretched out, having the
chowrie which forms their crest motionless, having the ears erect yet
firmly fixed [or bent backwards], not to be overtaken even by the dust
raised by themselves.' The 6dmari or chowrie, formed of the white
bushy tail of the Yak or Bos Grunniens, served for whisking off flies ;
and was used as an emblem of princely rank. It was placed as an
ornament between the ears of horses, like the plume of the war-horse of
chivalry. The velocity of the chariot caused it to lose its play and appear
fixed in one direction, like a flag borne rapidly against the wind.
A similar idea occurs in Act I. of the Vikramorvasi, titrdramblia-vinisca-
lam hayasirasi tdmaram. There is some difficulty in nibhritordhva-
karndh. The commentator explains nibJirita by niscala, ( motionless.'
The most usual sense of nibhrita is 'secret,' 'modest,' 'depressed,' 'low'
(Gita-g. ii. ii, ii. 21; Hitop. passim). In Raghu-v. viii. 15 the sky
is described as nibhritendu, 'having its moon nearly set' (-^astamayd-
sannacandra). Hence might flow the acceptation 'bent backwards.'
The ears of a horse while running at full speed would be not only erect,
but probably bent backwards so as to present the least resistance to the

1 ' Truly, the horses are [or appear as if] outstripping the horses of the
Sun, and the horses of Indra,' i. e. the speed of the chariot seems like that
of the Sun or the Wind. Harito is taken by some commentators as
gen. case of harit, 'the Sun,' and harln as ace. case plural of Jiari,
1 a horse.' But 6a after harln indicates that both Jiarito and harln are
ace. cases after atltya. In the Rig-veda we find hari (dual) and harayah
and Jiaribhih, (I. 16, i ; 101, 10; 16, 4 ; 52, 8) for 'the horses of Indra;'
and haritah for ' the seven horses of Surya or the Sun' (I. 50, 8 ; 1 15, 4).
In Nirukta i. 1 5 the different vehicles of the gods are given, and among
them kari Indrasya, Tiaritah ddityasya. Hence Indra is called hari-haya
or Tiari-vahana (Vikram., Act III), and in Eig-veda, Jiari-yojana ; and
the Sun is called harid-asva. One name of the Sun is saptasva, ' having
seven horses/ The Bengali MSS. read katTiam atltya Tutrinam Jiarayo,

nam, ' the act of taking aim.' Prdhartum is here used where prahara-
naya might be expected, but the infinitive is interchangeable with the

1 ' This is worthy of your honour, who art the light of the race of
Puru/ i. e. an illustrious descendant of Puru. Compare in Vikramorvasi,
Act I, sadris'am idam soma-vansa-sambhavasya. In English we have
the same idiom, ' this is just like [i. e. worthy of] one born in the Lunar
race/ The two great lines or dynasties of kings according to Hindu
mythology were the Solar and the Lunar. The Solar begins with
Ikshvaku the son of Vaivasvata, the son of Vivasvat, or the Sun, and is
carried on through Kakutstha, Dillpa, Raghu, Aja, and Dasaratha, to his
son, the great liama-candra, hero of the Ramayana. Under the Lunar
come Puru, Dushyanta, Krishna, and the heroes of the Maha-bharata,
as, i. Soma; 2. his son, Budha; 3. his son, Pururavas ; 4. his son, Ayus;
5. his son, Nahusha ; 6. his son, Yayati ; 7. his sons, Puru and Yadu.
From Puru were descended Tansu, Anila, Dushyanta, and Bharata.
From his brother Yadu came Satvata, S'ura, Vasu-deva, and his sons
Bala-rama and Krishna. From Bharata the son of Dushyanta and
descendant of Puru came, after a time, Ajamidha, Samvarana, Kuru,
S'antanu, Bhishma, and Krishna-dvaipayana or Vyasa. The latter was
the father of Dhrita-rashtra and Pandu. The quarrels of the hundred
sons of Dhrita-rashtra with their cousins, the five sons of Pandu (all of
them being thus descended from Kuru and Puru), form the subject of the
Maha-bharata. These two separate Solar and Lunar lines were occasion-
ally intermixed by marriage, and a cross occurs at the very beginning, by
the marriage of Ha (Ida), daughter of Vaivasvata, with Budha. Parasu-
rama, as a Brahman, belonged to neither dynasty, but was connected with
the Solar on his mother's side (see note to verse 22).
2 ' This well becomes you, whose family belongs to the line of Puru,
(therefore) be rewarded with a son gifted with all vii'tues, (and who shall
become) a universal emperor.' A 6akravartin is one who reigns over a
(akra, or country reaching from sea to sea. According to the Vishnu-
purana, a cakravartin is one in whose hand the cakra, or discus of
Vishnu, is delineated. There have been twelve of these emperors, com-
mencing with Bharata, the son of Dushyanta.

1 Soma-tlrtha is a place of pilgrimage in the West of India, on the

The fable is that Soma, or the Moon, was here cured of the consumption
brought upon him by the imprecation of Daksha, his father-in-law
(Maha-bh., S'alya-p. 2011; Vishnu-p. p. 561). A tlriha is a place of
pilgrimage, generally on the bank of some sacred stream, or near some
holy spring. The word is derived from trl, ( to cross over,' implying that
the stream has to be passed through, either for the washing away of sin,
or for extrication from some difficulty or adverse destiny. Thousands of
devotees still flock to the most celebrated Tirthas, Benares, Haridwar, &c.

bhinna by anyafha-bhuta, 'altered,' 'made different;' but it may also
mean 'broken,' 'interrupted,' 'partially obscured.' Arvdk = agratah, 'in
front,' ' near.' Darbha is another name for Kusa or sacrificial grass (Poa
Cynosuroides). This was the plant held sacred by the Hindus, as verbena
was by the Romans. Ground prepared for a sacrifice was strewn with
the blades of this grass. The officiating Brahmans were purified by
sitting on it, and by rubbing it between their hands. Its sanctifying
qualities were various, see Manu ii. 43, 75, 182 ; iii. 208, 223, 255, 256;

with tapering points of which the extreme acuteness is proverbial ; whence
the expression kusdgra-buddTii (Raghu-v. v. 4), ' one whose intellect is as
sharp as the point of a Kusa leaf.' In Atharva-v. xix. 28 this grass is
addressed as a god. According to the commentators this verse and the

Manu viii. 247.] Sacred fire is kindled by rubbing two dried pieces
together. The legend is that Pururavas generated primeval fire by
rubbing together two branches of the S'ami and Asvattha tree. Other
kinds of wood are also held sacred by the Hindus, such as the Vilva (Bel),
and only Brahmans are allowed to use them as fuel.
Verse 18. VAKSA-STHAVILA (a variety of JAGATI), containing twelve syllables to the
quarter-verse, each quarter-verse being alike.

1 'This blooming [or youthful] body of hers, by (reason of) the bark
dress fastened with delicate knots upon her shoulder (and) covering the
orbs of her two breasts, does not exhibit (the fulness of) its own charms,
like a flower enveloped by a calyx of pale leaves.' The first meaning of
push, like bJiri, is ' to nourish' or ' be nourished.' Thence, like bhri, it
passes into the sense of ' maintain/ ' support,' ' bear ;' and thence into
that of ' possess,' ' enjoy,' ' exhibit,' ' make to appear.' In these last senses
it may be used actively, though conjugated in cl. 4. (See Manu ix. 37 ;
Ramay. ii. 94, 10; Raghu-v. xvi. 58; Haha-bh. vol. ii. p. 186, 1. 2607.)
It is curious that our English word exhibition may have the sense of
'maintenance' (cf. Lat. exhibeo). Two Bombay MSS. read svdm abhi-
Jchyam instead of svdm na sobhdm : the meaning would then be, ' main-
tains its own beauty' \abhikhya is so used, Raghu-v. i. 46]; and this
reading would be more consistent with what follows, but by the next
word athava, as the commentators observe, svoktam aJcshipati, he corrects
his previous remark. Pi-naddha = api-naddha from api-nah.

the beauty of her person.' Other instances are found in Kalidasa of two
negatives employed to strengthen an affirmative. See Megha-d. 106.
1 ' The lotus, though intertwined [or overspread] with the S'aivala, is
charming ; the speck, though dark, heightens [lit. extends] the beauty of
the moon ; this graceful one even with her bark-dress is more lovely ; for
what is not an embellishment of sweet forms T i. e. everything serves as
an ornament to heighten the beauty of a figure which is naturally beauti-
ful. Sarasi-jam, lit. ' that which is born in a pool/ a name applicable
to any aquatic plant, but especially to the different kinds of lotus (Nelum-
bium or Nymphgea). This beautiful plant the varieties of which, blue,
white, and red, are numerous bears some resemblance to our water-lily.
It is as favourite a subject of allusion and comparison with the Hindu
poets as the rose with the Persian. It is often figuratively used to
express beauty, as 'lotus-face' or 'the lotus of the face/ 'lotus-hands/
'lotus-feet' (Gita-g. passim). It is also used by women as an ornament
(Act III. of this play), and as a cooling remedy (Ratn., Act II). The
S'aivala (Vallisneria) is an aquatic plant which spreads itself over ponds,
and interweaves itself with the lotus. The interlacing of its stalks is
compared in the S'rin-gara-tilaka (verse i) to braided hair (dhammilla).
See Sir ~W. Jones' Works, vol. iv. p. 113. The spots on the moon were
thought to resemble those on an antelope, and hence one of the moon's
names, harina-kalan-ka, ' deer-spotted.'
The following verse, which is found in the Beng. MSS. immediately
after verse 20, and has been adopted by the Calcutta edition, is omitted
in all the Deva-n. MSS., and in the commentaries of S'. and K. It is
probably spurious, as it repeats the same sentiment less poetically and
with some harshness of expression :

' The bark-dress, though rough, is beautiful on this fawn-eyed one. It
does not in one's mind cause the slightest impairment of her beauty [or,
of my liking for her] ; just as its own rough tissue of stalks on the
lotus-bed whose lotuses have expanded, so as slightly to release the neck-

under the flower.
1 ' This Kesara tree, with its fingers of young shoots set in motion
by the wind, bids me hasten as it were (towards it). I will just go and
pay my respects to it.' The Kesara (Mimusops Elengi) is the same as
the Bakula or Vakula, frequent mention of which is made in some of
the Puvanas, and in Ratn., Act III. It bears a strong-smelling flower,
which is even placed among the flowers of the Hindu paradise. The tree
is very ornamental in pleasure-grounds. The caus. of sam-bhu often
means ' to honour, or pay one's respects to another in person.' Motion
towards the object seems usually, though not always, implied. Thus,

it is so used towards the end of this Act, where the devotees are said
to be sa-ndthdh, ' possessed of a guardian ' in Dushyanta. A compound
verb sandthi-kri, ' to cause to be possessed of a master,' occurs in Act II.
of this play, and in Hitop. 1. 797. But here sa-ndtha=saJiita, dvitlya,
yukta, 'accompanied,' 'joined,' 'furnished with.' The transition into
this meaning may be understood from Act VI. of this play, and from
Vikram., Act II, where an arbour (mandapa) is said to be mani-sild-
patta-sandtha, ' having a slab of marble as its master,' i, e. in which the
most prominent object is a marble seat; or in plain words, 'an arbour
furnished with a marble seat.' Similarly in Act II. of this play the
sui'face of a stone seat (sild-tala) is said to be vitdna-sandtha, ' furnished
with a canopy ' by the shade of a tree. Of. also Lakshml-sandtJia, ' pos-
sessed of Fortune,' and kusuma-sandtJm, ' decked witli flowers,' Vikram.,

1 ' Here is the young Malika [a kind of double jasmine, see p. 22, n. i]
named by you the Light of the Grove, the self-elected wife of the Saha-
kara. Have you forgotten it?' The Sahakara is a sort of fragrant
Mango tree. Its union with other plants seems a favourite idea with
Kalidasa ; for in Raghu-v. viii. 60, allusion is made to its marriage with
the Phalini or Priyan-gu. It is said to be a great favourite with bees
(Eaghu-v. vi. 69). In Ratn. p. n, 1. 7, it is spoken of as mandald-
yamana, ' forming a circle.' Svayamvara-vadhu, ' a wife by self-election.'
The Svayamvara, or ' selection for one's self,' was a form of marriage in
which a princess made a free public choice of a husband from a number
of assembled suitors. In very early times the princesses of India seem
to have enjoyed this singular privilege. It is not mentioned amongst the
forms of marriage in Manu iii. 21, &c. ; but the provision which is made
in Manu ix. 90, proves that a similar custom prevailed at that period.
"When marriageable, she is there told to wait for three years ; and after
that time, if she fail to obtain a suitable husband, she is to choose for
herself; [samana-ydti-gunam varam svayam vrinlta, Schol.] She is then
called Svayamvara. In the Maha-bh. we have a beautiful account of the
Svayamvara of Damayantl (who chooses Nala), and of DraupadI (who
chooses Arjuna); and in Raghu-v. vi. of the Svayamvara of Indumati,
sister of Bhoja, king of Vidarbha (who chooses Aja, the son of Eaghu).
See also Nalod. i. 30. Even the goddess Lakshm! is said to have exercised
this privilege. See the allusion to the Lakshml-svayamvara at the begin-
ning of Act III. of Vikram. Vi-smrita is also used transitively between
verses 129 and 130 of this play. In Raghu-v. xix. 2, vi-smrita has an
ace. after it. See Gram. 896; Pan. iii. 4, 72.

1 'At a charming season, indeed, has the union between this pair, the

Light of the Grove (has) youthfulness by (its) fresh blossoms [i. e. its
fresh blossoms give it all the bloom of a young bride], and the Sahakara
is capable of enjoyment by reason of (its) young shoots (just) formed.'
Vyatikara is properly 'mutual action,' 'co-operation;' hence ' union,'
'blending,' 'intertwining,' 'intermingling.' See Megha-d. 15. So also
vyatikara-sukham, 'mutual enjoyment.' The prepositions vi and ati in
composition imply both reciprocity and contrariety : hence, in Hi top.
1. 2319, vyatikara signifies 'reverse,' 'turn in affairs.' Baddha-pallavataya,
' by the state of young shoots formed on it.' This is an idiomatic use of
the instr. case of the abstract noun in td, to denote ' by reason of,' ' on
account of.' Bandh often means 'to form,' 'produce;' thus, badhnanti
phalam (Raghu-v. xii. 69) ; drumeshu svayam phalam baddham (Ku-
mara-s. v. 60). Upabhoga-kshama occurs in connection with grlshma-
samaya in p. 6, n. 2, and in Vikram., Act III, with avakasa. The first
meaning of ksJiama is 'patient,' 'enduring.' Here and elsewhere it=
yogya, ' capable,' ' suitable ;' so drishti-ksTiama, ' capable of being seen,'
'visible.' So in verse 22, kshatra-parigraha-kshama, ' capable of marriage
with a Kshatriya.'

1 of a different (and inferior) tribe or caste.' A Brahman might marry a
Kshatriya, i. e. a woman of the military or kingly class next below him
(Manu iii. 13), and the female offspring of such a marriage would belong
to the mixed class called murdlidbhishikta or murdhavasikta, ' head-
anointed' (Manu x. 6), and would be a suitable object of affection for a
Kshatriya, who in his kingly character was a murdhabhishikta also. But
if S'akuntala were a pure Brahman! woman, both on the mother's and
father's side, she would be ineligible as the wife of a Kshatriya (Manu
iii. 13).
3 ' But, have done with [away with] doubt.' Atliava is used to correct
a previous thought [pakshantare]. Kritam used adverbially (like alani)
requires the instr. case.

1 ' Without any doubt she is capable of marriage with a Ksliatriya,
since my honourable soul has a longing towards her : for in matters that
are subjects of doubt, the tendencies [inclinations, promptings] of the
hearts of good men are an authoritative guide (to the truth).' The
meaning is, ' If this damsel be the daughter of a Brahman by a Brahman!
[or woman of the same caste], then why should I be conscious of a sudden
liking for one whom I could never hope to marry 1 This feeling of
sympathy could only arise towards a legitimate object : for in such
matters, the secret prompting [inner voice] of the heart is decisive.'
He therefore concludes that she must have been of mixed origin, with
some Kshatriya or regal blood in her veins; and discovers afterwards
that she was, in fact, the daughter of the Kajarshi Visvamitra (originally
of the Kshatriya or regal tribe) by an Apsaras. Dushyanta, as a king,
belonged of course to the Kshatriya caste. This caste came next to the
Brahmanical, and according to Manu (i. 87) sprang from the arm of
Brahma. They wore a girdle of murvd and a sacrificial cord of hemp
(Manu ii. 42, 44), and were properly soldiers. They were said to have
been exterminated by Parasu-rama, the representative of the Brahmanical
tribe, in revenge for the murder of his father, the sage Jamadagni, by the
sons of Kartavlrya. This fable is founded on the historical fact that, at
some period or other, struggles, arising out of mutual jealousy of each
other's encroachments, took place between the military and sacerdotal
classes; and that the former did in the end succumb to the superior
power and intelligence of the Brahmans. The example of Visvamitra
proves that it was possible for a Kshatriya, by the practice of religious
austerities, to raise himself to the rank of a Brahman. Other anomalies
of caste occur. A number of men, half warriors, half priests, Kshatriyas
by birth, and Brahmans by profession, called An-girasas or ' descendants
of An-giras,' were said to have sprung from Nabhaga (Vishnu-p. p. 359;
Maha-bh. Sel. p. 23). Kings were never chosen from the Brahmanical
class, but were properly Kshatriyas (Manu vii. 2); though there was no
positive law against their belonging to the two inferior classes of Vaisyas
and S'udras, or even to three mixed classes (san-Jcara) formed by inter-
marriage with the others, viz. Murdhabhishiktas, Mahishyas, and Karanas
(Manu x. 6). One dynasty of kings of the line of Nanda were actually
S'udras, and kept the Kshatriyas in subjection (Vishnu-p. p. 467). In

fact, the king was but a high officer appointed to train the army, instruct
in military exercises, administer justice, and execute the laws. These
onerous duties were sufficient to deter the Brahmans from desiring a rank
inconsistent with their love of dignified repose. Aryam=sa-maryadam,
'correct,' 'upright' (Schol.) Pramdnam, 'that by which anything is
measured;' hence, 'a criterion or standard of truth,' ' a sure guide/ 'an

this sense it is usually found in the singular number, neuter gender,
though in apposition to a masculine or feminine noun, or even to a plural
noun, as here. Thus also, Vedah pramdnam, ' the Vedas are an authority.'

1 ' Now (indeed it does prosper) by the acquisition of a distinguished
guest.' The rites of hospitality were enforced amongst the Hindus by
very stringent regulations. The observance of them ranked as one of
the five great sacraments (mahd-yajna), under the title of nri-yajha or
manushya-yajiia, 'the man-sacrament.' Brahma, Prajapati, Indra, Fire,
the Vasus, and the Sun were supposed to be present in the person of a
guest, and to partake of the food that was given to him (Vishnu-p.
p. 306). No wonder then that reverence of him was said to be conducive
to wealth, to fame, to life, and to a heavenly reward (Manu iii. 106).
On the other hand, no punishment was thought too severe for one who
violated these rites. If a guest departed disappointed from any house,
his sins were to be transferred to the householder, and all the merits
of the householder were to be transferred to him (Vishnu-p. p. 305 ;
Hitop. 1. 361). Some of the things which were to be offered to a guest
l>y even the poorest man were food, vegetables, water for the feet, and
if more could not be given, ground on which to lie (Manu iii. 101;
Vishnu-p. p. 308).
2 The argha or arghya was a respectful offering to Brahmans of rice,
Durva grass, flowers, fruit, &c., with water in a small boat-shaped vesseL

* ' This (which we have brought with us for watering our plants) will
serve as water for the feet/ "Water for the feet was one of the first
things invariably presented to a guest in all Eastern countries. Should
a guest arrive, a seat is to be offered to him, and his feet are to be

the four things with which even the poorest man was to greet a guest.
' Grass and earth to sit on, water to wash the feet, and fourthly,
friendly yet sincere speech (vdk sunrita) are never refused in the
houses of the good, even though they be poor.' Manu iii. 101 ;
Hitop. 1. 301.
1 'On the raised-seat under the Saptaparna tree, cool with much
shade, having sat down for a short time, let your honour cause removal
of fatigue.' According to S'. pracchdya=prakrishtd yd chdyd, 'excessive
shade.' The other commentators explain it by prakrishtd chdyd yatra
desah, ' a place where there is excessive shade,' and by prakrishtd chaya,
yasydh, 'having excessive shade.' A parallel passage occurs in the
Malavik. p. 3, 1. 20, pracchdya-sltale sildpattake nishannd, &c. It
seems clear that pro, in this word gives intensity to the original idea.
It is needless to regard it either as a Tatpurusha or Karmadharaya com-
pound, although it is in such compounds especially that chaya becomes
chaya. (See p. 6, n. 3, and Raghu-v. iv. 20, xii. 50; Megha-d. 103; Pan.
ii. 4, 22. 25.) Sapta-parna, 'a tree having seven leaves on a stalk,'
called also vishama-dchada, 'having an odd number of leaves,' and
visala-tvac, 'having a broad bark' (Raghu-v. iv. 23). Vedikd=visrdma-
sthdnam, ' place of repose or rest.' It was probably a quadrangular
raised-seat, something in the form of an altar, and covered with a roof
supported by pillars, used as a kind of arbour for sitting or standing
under. In this case it seems to have been erected under a Sapta-
parna tree. Saptaparna-ndmno vrikshasya tale nirmitd yd vedikd, S'.
According to Sir W. Jones this tree, when full-grown, is very large ;
when young, light and elegant. Muhurta is properly an Indian hour
of forty-eight minutes or two Dandas, but is used for any short space
of time.

1 Atma-gatam and sva-gatam (lit. 'gone to one's self) used in
theatrical language, like ' aside,' to denote that the words which follow
are spoken privately, as if to the speaker's self, and not in the hearing
of any one but the audience ( = ananya-prakasam). Gata, 'gone,' is used
loosely at the end of a compound to express relationship and connexion
without necessary implication of motion. It may mean simply 'in con-
nexion with,' 'in relation to;' or, as here, 'with exclusive reference to,'
* addressed exclusively to.'
2 ' How now \ can it really be that, having looked upon this man, I
am become susceptible of [lit. accessible to] an emotion inconsistent with

whether of joy, grief, anger, &c. Kim is used kutsayam, ' disdainfully,'
and=aAam eva jdtam, 'how can it have happened 1 ?' The use of the

3 Sauhdrda, ' friendship,' an abstract noun from su-Tirid. Observe that
both su and hrid are vriddhied (see Gram, page 63, Prelim. Obs. c).

1 ' Who can this be (who being) lively (yet) dignified in mien, appears

teous,' in relation to madhuram alapan. Gambhira, 'profound/ is used
metaphorically for one whose thoughts and feelings are deep or sup-
pressed, ' reserved,' ' dignified,' ' not betraying emotion.' The oldest MS.
reads mahuram; the others mahuram piam; but p/iam belongs properly
to the margin.
2 Prakdsam, 'aloud,' another theatrical direction denoting that the
words which follow are to be made audible to all, those which precede
having been spoken aside.
3 'Which race of royal-sages is adorned by your honour?' Ka-tama,
^which out of many?' A Kajarshi is a king or man of the Kshatriya
and military class who has attained to the rank of a Eishi or saint by
the practice of religious austerities. Such were Ikshvaku, Pururavas,
Dushyanta, &c. There are six other classes of Eishis. The Kajarshi is
inferior to the Brahmarshi or ' Brahman-saint,' but it was possible for
a Kajarshi to raise himself to the rank of the latter, and therefore to the
state of a Brahman, by very severe penance, as exemplified in the story
of the celebrated Visvamitra, son of Gadhi, and father of S'akuntala. See
p. 43, n. i; also Rarnay. i. 20, 20; 65, 18; Astra-siksha, 118.

spirits called Rakshasas the determined enemies of piety. No great
religious ceremony was ever carried on without these demons attempting
to impede its celebration ; and the most renowned saints were obliged on
such occasions to acknowledge their dependence on the strong arm of the
military class for protection. The idea that holy men, who had attained
the utmost spiritual power, were unable to cope with the spirits of evil,
and the superiority of physical force in this respect is remarkable. (See
Ramay. bk. i. chaps. 20, 21, 32; and end of Act III. of this play.) In
point of fact the Rakshasas were poetical representations of the wild
aborigines of the woods.

With an offering of these they were commanded to honour every one who

the holy father's most valuable possession.

Bengali, which also adds kimapi.

1 ' There is a certain Rajarshi [see p. 39, n. 3] of great majesty, whose
family name is Kausika/ i. e. the celebrated Visvamitra (descendant of Kusa
or Kusika), whose story is told in Ramay. bk. i. chaps. 35 and 51-65.
He is there described as the son of Gadhi (a prince of the Lunar dynasty,
king of Gadhi-pur, or the ancient Kanouj), who is the son of Kusa-natha,
who is the son of Kusa or Kusika. According to Vishnu-p. the following
is the pedigree of Visvamitra. One of the sons of Pururavas, a prince
of the Lunar dynasty (see Vikramorvasi), was Amgvasu. Thence in
direct succession came Bhima, Kancana, Jahnu, Sumantu, Ajaka, Vala-
kasva, and Kusa. The latter had two sons, Kusamba and Kusa-natha;
but Gadhi was son of Kusamba, and was said to be an incarnation of
Indra (hence sometimes called Kausika); for Kusamba had engaged in
great penance, to obtain a son who should be equal to ludra ; and the
latter becoming alarmed, took upon himself the character of Kusamba's
Bon. Gadhi had a daughter, Satyavati, who married a Brahman named
Ricika, son of Bhrigu. This Ricika with the view of securing to him-
self a son who should be an illustrious Brahman, and to his father-in-law
a son of great prowess made two messes of food, one for his own wife,
and the other for the wife of Gadhi ; infusing into one the qualities
suited to a Brahman, and into the other the properties of power and
heroism. The two wives exchanged messes, and so it happened that the
wife of Gadhi had a son, Visvamitra, who, though a Kshatriya, was born
with the inclinations of a Brahman ; and the wife of Ricika had a son,
the sage Jamad-agni, who was the father of the warrior-priest Paras'u-
rama, she having by her entreaties induced her husband to transfer the
effects of the exchange of food from her son to her grandson. There is
something like anachronism in the history of Visvamitra. Satyavati, his
sister, was the grandmother of Parasu-rama, and it was not till the close
of the latter's career that Rama-candra appeared on the field and became
the pupil of Visvamitra. At any rate the Rishi must have been very old.
Indeed, in the Ramayana he is stated to have mortified himself for two
thousand years before he attained the rank of a Rishi ; for many years more
before his cohabitation with Menaka, which led to the birth of S'akuntala ;
G 2

and for many thousand years more before he became a Brahman. It
was not till after this period that he became the preceptor of Rama-
dandra. No chronological inconsistency is too monstrous for Hindu
mythology.
1 ' Know him (to be) the father of our dear friend ; but father Kanva
is the (reputed) father of her, through the fostering of her body, &c.,
when deserted.' Prab7iava=janma-/teiu, 'the operative cause of being,'
i. e. a father.
2 The story of Visvamitra, as told in the Hamayana, is briefly this. On
his accession to the throne in the room of his father Gadhi, in the course
of a tour through his dominions, he visited the hermitage of the sage
Vasishtha (one of the ten Brahmadikas or Prajapatis, sons of Brahma).
There the cow of plenty, which granted its owner all desires, and was
the property of Vasishtha, excited the king's cupidity. He offered the
Muni untold treasures in exchange for the cow, but being refused, pre-
pared to take it by force. A long war ensued between the King and
the Muni (symbolical of the struggles between the Kshatriya and Brah-
45 ii inns^: u
manical classes) which ended in the defeat of Visvamitra, whose vexation
was such, that he devoted himself to tremendous austerities, hoping to
force the gods to make him a Brahman that he might fight with the
saint Vasishtha on equal terms. The Ramayana goes on to recount how,
by gradually increasing the rigour of his bodily mortification through
thousands of years, he successively earned the title of Rajarshi (i. 57, 5),
Rishi (63, 2), Maharshi (63, 19), and finally, Brahmarshi (65, 18). Not
till he had gained this last title did Vasishtha consent to acknowledge
his equality with himself, and ratify his admission into the Brahmanical
state. It was at the time of Visvamitra's advancement to the rank of
a Rishi, and whilst he was still a Kshatriya, that Indra and the gods,
jealous of his increasing power exhibited in his transporting king
Tri^an-ku to the region of the stars, and in saving S'unahsepa, the son
of his own brother-in-law Ricika, out of the hands of Indra, to whom he
had been promised by king Ambarlsha as a victim in a sacrifice sent
the nymph Menaka, to seduce him from his life of continence. The
Ramayana records his surrender to this temptation, and relates that the
nymph was his companion in the hermitage for ten years, but does not
allude to the birth of S'akuntala during that period. It only informs
us that at the end of ten years the Rishi extricated himself from this
hindrance (niyama-vigTina), and abandoning the nymph, departed into
another region. See Indian Wisdom, p. 363.
1 ' Such is the dread which the (inferior) gods have of the devotion
of others !' Indra and all the deities below Brahman are really, according
to the Hindu system, finite beings, whose existence as separate deities
will one day terminate, and whose sovereignty in Svarga, or ' heaven,'
is by no means inalienable. They viewed with jealousy and alarm any
persistency by a human being in acts of penance which might raise him
to a level with themselves; and if carried beyond a certain point, might
enable him to dispossess them of paradise. Indra was therefore the
enemy of excessive devotion, and had in his service numerous nymphs
(apsaras), such as Menaka, Rambha, and UrvasI, who were called his
' weapons ' (Indrasya praharanani, Vikram., Act I), and who were con-
stantly sent by him to impede by their seductions the devotions of holy
men.

1 ' Then at the season of the descent of Spring, having looked upon the
intoxicating beauty [form] of that (nymph).' Some commentators con-
sider vasantoddra to be a compound of vasanta and uddra; but oddra
is a legitimate Prakrit contraction for avatdra, although avaddra would
be equally correct. Cf. odansayanti for avatansayanti (p. 7, n. i), Jiodi
for havadi or bhavati, jedi for jayadi or jayati, &c. Avatdra is from
ava-tri, ( to descend/ and applies especially to the descent of a god from
heaven. Vasanta, ' the Spring,' is often personified as a deity. See
Vikram., Act II, Pekkhadu bhavam vasantdvaddrasuidam assa ahird-
mattanam pamadavanassa, ' let your honour observe the delightfulness
of this pleasure-garden manifested by the descent of Spring.' Unmd-
dayitrikam is for the neut. unmddayitri, ' that which causes to go mad
or be intoxicated' ( = adhairya-janakam, 'causing unsteadiness').
2 ' What (happened) afterwards is quite understood [or guessed by
me].' The suffix tdt, in words like parastdt, adhastdt, may stand for the
nominative case, as well as for abl. and loc. (Pan. v. 3, 27). Hence
parastdt = para-vrittdntah, 'the rest of the story/ 'the subsequent
particulars.'
3 ' Exactly so/ ' how can it be otherwise ? ' Athakim is a particle of
assent.

otherwise could there be the birth of this beautiful-form amongst mortal
females ? the tremulously-i-adiant flash does not rise from the surface of
the earth (but descends from the skies).' Apsarah-sainbhavatvam is to
be supplied before upapadyate. According to EL, prabhd-taralam (i. e.
prabhayd cahtalam) jyotis = vidyut, 'lightning;' but S'. applies it also
to the beams of the sun and moon. The comparison of the unearthly
beauty of a nymph to the radiance of lightning is common. Cf.
Megha-d. 40.
1 ' My desire has found (free) scope,' i. e. since it is certain that she
is not a Brahman! woman (aavarnatva-nis6ayat, ' from the certainty of
her not being of the same class with the holy father '), it is clear that my
desire is directed towards an attainable object. Avakasa means 'free
course,' 'range,' 'power of expatiating.' Cf. p. 55, 1. 3, labdhdvakasa

manorathah*
2 ' Nevertheless, having heard her friend's prayer for a husband uttered

marriage, or for an ascetic life ; and fearful lest at some former time her
husband may have been decided upon (purvam asyd varo nirmto na vd,

3 'Looking with a smile at S'akuntala, (and then) turning her face
towards the hero-of-the-poem ;' lit. ' having become with her face turned,'
&c. All the Deva-n. MSS. have this latter clause. Ndyaka, in dramatic
poetry, is the leading character or hero of the poem, and ndyikd, the
heroine. Romeo, in Shakespeare, would be the ndyaka, and Juliet the
ndyikd. In every Hindu play there is also a prati-ndyaka, or 'anti-
hero,' and an upa-ndyaka, or 'sub-hero.' See Indian Wisdom, p. 467.

1 ' S'akuntala threatens [reproves] her friend with her finger,' i. e.
makes a threatening or chiding gesture, as if she were angry with her
friend for leading Dushyanta to pursue his interrogatories, and were
ashamed at the revelation of the particulars of her history (dtmano
vrldd-janaka-svavrittdntodgJiatanam, K.) According to S\ this is an
example of the coquettish gesture called lalita, i. e. though she was really
eager to hear all that her lover had to say, yet by her outward gestures
she appeared to be the reverse (priyajana-katha-susrushur api vahis

this sense with an indeclinable participle in tvd and ya, thus alam

the time of Manu every Hindu girl was given away in marriage before
the season of maturity (ritoh prdk pradana-kdlah), and that father in-
curred great disgrace who did not so give her away. It was deemed
highly reprehensible if the betrothed husband did not take her to his
own house, when the marriageable period of life arrived; (see Manu ix. 4,
with commentary.) Vydpdra-rodhi madanasya = kdma-kriyd-nivdrakam t
'hindering amatory actions.' According to K. dtma-sadri^ekshana-valla-
bhdbhir may be optionally resolved into dtma-sadrtiekshana-vallabhd dbhir.
Aho, a particle of doubt, is used pakshdntare or vikalpe, i. e. antithetically,
in stating an opposite alternative.

Act IV. Manu (ix. 2, 3) declares that women were never to be deemed
fit for independence. Day and night they were to be held by their
protectors in subjection. But in certain matters, such as lawful recrea-
tions, and if they chose to enter upon a religious life, they were to be
left at their own disposal. It seems that even in those matters S'akuntala
was not her own mistress. The holy father had enjoined a life of
penance upon her, but had settled that it should not be perpetual. Api

checked himself.

the play of the pendent flower by causing it to adhere to her cheek

Megha-d. 28, where the lotus of the ears is described as faded by the act
of removing the perspiration from the cheeks in hot weather. The lotus-
flower, or one of its petals, furnished as common an ornament for the ear

mukha-taru-skandha-bhagnaika-danta, 'with a violent blow having broken
one tusk against the trunk of a tree standing in his way.' For pada
K. reads kroda, ' the breast.' Valaya = veshtana, ' anything that en-

(saran-ga-yutham) has been scattered (bhinnam=wkwnam)' This was

1 Vidushaka, ' merry,' ' facetious/ ' good-natured/ is the title given to
the jocose companion and confidential friend of the ndyaka, or hero of
the piece. This character is to the hero, what the female companion
and confidante is to the heroine (ndyikd] of the play. He is his constant
attendant, and, by a curious regulation, is to be a Brahman, that is to
eay, of a caste higher than that of the king himself; yet his business
is to excite mirth by being ridiculous in person, age, and attire. S'. says
he is grey-haired (palita), hump-backed (kubja), lame (khanja), and with
distorted features (vikritdnana) ; that the chief part of all that he says is
humorous and nonsensical ; and that he is allowed access to the female
apartments (antahpura-cara). In fact, he is a kind of buffoon. His
attempts at wit, which are never very successful, and his allusions to
the pleasures of the table, of which he is a confessed votary, are absurdly
contrasted with the sententious solemnity of the despairing hero, crossed
in the prosecution of his love-suit. The shrewdness of the heroine's con-
fidantes never seems to fail them under the most trying circumstances ;
but the clumsy interference of the Vidushaka in the intrigues of his
friend, only serves to augment his difficulties, and occasions many an
awkward dilemma. As he is the universal butt, and is allowed in
return full liberty of speech, he fills a character very necessary for the
enlivenment of the otherwise dull monotony of a Hindi! drama. He
is called by S'. the upa-ndyaka of the piece, or the ndyakasya upa-
ndyakah, a kind of assistant to the hero (see p. 47, n. 3). K. says, 'The

Vidushaka is the name for a ridiculous, childish man (manavaka), who
is always at the side of the hero (nayaka-parsva-parivartiri). He is
the companion of his sports and promoter of his amusement (hasya-kari-
narma-suhrid, or narma-sativa). In effecting the three objects of
human life, viz. religious merit, wealth, and pleasure, the family priests
assist the king in the first ; the heir-apparent (yuva-raja) and the army
in the second ; the Vidushaka, the parasite (pltha-marda), and the pimp
(vita) in the third.' For vita, see Sanskrit-English Dictionary.
1 ' Oh (my evil) destiny ! I am worn out by being the associate of this
king, who is so addicted to the chase. " Here 's a deer," " there 's a boar,"
"yonder's a tiger;" (in the midst of) such (cries and shouts), even at
mid-day, is it wandered about from forest to forest, in the paths of the
woods, where the shade of the trees is scanty in the hot season.' Vayasya
is properly 'an associate or companion of about the same age' (vayas).
Iti, ' so saying/ here rather, ' so crying out.' Vana-rdji, ' a row of trees,'
' a long tract of forest.' A/iindyate, pres. pass, of rt. hind, with prep, a,
' to wander about ' (an uncommon root) ; understand asmabhih, ' by us.'
The Prakrit is answerable for the collocation of words in this sentence.
2 ' The bad-smelling [pungent] waters of mountain-streams, astringent
from the mixture of leaves, are drunk. At irregular hours a meal,
consisting chiefly of meat roasted on spits, is eaten.' Katu, 'pungent,'
' ill-scented.' Stilya-mansa, ' roast-meat,' ' meat cooked on a spit.'

3 'Even in the night I cannot lie down comfortably (in my bed)
through the dislocation of my joints by the galloping of the horse
[or by my horse's pursuit of the game];' see p. 67, 1. 6, and note i.

have turaga-yaanam ca saddena, ' by the noise of horses and elephants.'
Kand, ' to separate grain from the husk/ ' bruise,' ' break,' is not so
common as khand. Kandita-sandheh agrees with the gen. mama, ' of me,'
understood after sayitavyam. The instr. case is more usual after the
fut. pass, part., but not more correct.
1 'Then at the very earliest dawn I am awakened by the din of
taking the forest by the sons of slaves hunting the birds.' Mahati
pratyushe, lit. ' at great dawn ' (cf. mahd-rdtra, ' mid-night,' and the
French ' de grand matin '). Dasyah-putraih stands for ddsl-putraih, and
is to be regarded as one compound. According to Pan. vi. 3, 22, the
genitive in this compound is used in abusing and reviling (dkrose); so
mishalyah-putraih for vrishall-putraih. Vana-grahana, ' surrounding and
taking possession of a wood for the purpose of hunting the animals it
contains' (mriga-grahanartham, K.) Those who do so are called, further
on in this Act, vana-grdhinah (=.vandvarodliaTcdh, K.), 'those who inclose
a wood and obstruct the points of egress.'
2 ' Even with all this my trouble does not come to an end ; (for) after-
wards upon the (old) boil [scar], (another) small boil is produced.' lyata
=etavatd, ' by this much,' ' by so much.' Nishkrdmati=sdmyati, ' ceases.'
Pitakd=visp7iotaka, 'a pustule,' 'a small boil/ 'a pimple.' This was
probably a proverbial phrase, cf. ayam aparo gandasya upari visphotah,
Mudra-r. p. 120, 1. 14.

' By this it may be inferred that with thinking of her he had not closed
his eyes all night.' Akshnoh, i. e. drisor unmllatoh satoh, ' on his eyes

phrase in Prakrit ; it occurs again in Act V. Kidacara-parikammam

Arabia, but applied also to a native of Greece. Wilson in the Vikramor-
vasi (Act V, p. 261), where the same word occurs, remarks that Tartarian
or Bactrian women may be intended. The business of these attendants
was to act as the bearers of the king's bow and arrows. At the end of
Act VI. a Yavanl enters again, sdrn-ga-hastd, 'carrying a bow/ A
commentator remarks, Yavanl yuddha-kale rdjno 'stram daddti, 'the

the mshkambha, which he defines as an adhama-pravesakah, or inferior
introductory scene, coming between two acts (an-kayor madhya-varti),
and performed by inferior actors (nica-pdtra-prayojitah). Its object is
to connect or bind together the story of the drama and the subdivisions
of the plot (kathd-san-ghattandrtham), by concisely alluding to what has
happened in the intervals of the acts, or what is likely to happen at the
end (bhutdnam bhdvindm api sankshepena sucanat). In the following

hdva=sringdra-ceshta, 'the expression of amorous sentiments by ges-

Darsana is either 'seeing,' 'looking at' (avalokana, S'.), or 'exhibit-
ing,' 'shewing' (=sakshat-karana, K.) In the latter case, translate, 'by
her exhibition of amorous gestures.' Ubhaya = nayaka-nayikayoh or
stri-purushayoh. Prarthana=dbhilasha, 'longing.'
1 This is a long Bahuvrlhi comp., agreeing with prarthayita. Translate,
' thus the suitor, who judges of the state of feeling of his beloved one by
his own desires, is deluded.' Evam=vakshyamana-praJcarena, 'in the
following manner,' ' in the way about to be mentioned,' K. Abhiprdya
=abhildsha. Sambhavita=kalpita, 'imagined,' or san-kita, 'suspected.'
Ishta-jana=manogata-vyakti, 'the individual in one's thoughts.' Prar-
thayitd=kdmukah or ydfakah. Vidambyate^apahasyate, ' is mocked,' ' is
made a fool of;' supply kdmena, 'by love.' The stage-direction smitam
kritvd implies that he is to smile at his own folly in supposing that
she was as fond of him as he was of her, merely because her gestures
were coquettish.

therefore by words merely are you wished victory [lit. you are made to

made by joining the hands and applying them to the forehead ; you must
therefore be contented with the salutation Jayatu I or Vijayi bhava I
This is the reading of two old MSS. [India Office, 1060; Bodleian, 233].
The Calcutta ed., without the support of these MSS., adds jayatu, jayatu
bTiavdn, ' let your Majesty be victorious.' This is sufficiently implied in
jdpyase, which is not derived from jap, ' to repeat,' ' mutter/ but rather
from the causal of ji, ' to conquer.' If from jap it could only mean ' you
are caused to mutter,' whereas the sense of jdpyase, as the 2nd pers. sing.
pres. pass, of the causal of ji, is quite suitable, and, moreover, conforms
to the interpretation of K. (vijayl bhava}, and to that of the Calcutta
ed. (jaydrho 'si). Lassen considers Sanskrit jdpyase:=Pr5krit jadbiasi,
although, with Chfey, he refers it to jap (Instit. Ling. Prak. p. 361).
Most of the Deva-n. MSS. read jldbaissam for jwayishydmi, ' I will
cause to live,' ' I will wish life/ i. e. I will salute you with tiram jlva,
' long life to you !' Cf. p. 68, 1. 9.

eyes?' The Vidushaka probably here quotes some proverb, and the king
observes in the next line that he does not understand its application in
the present case.

2 ' "When the reed imitates the character [gait] of the Kubja (plant), is

Indian rivers. Kubja or kubjaka, properly 'hump-backed,' but also the
name for a crooked aquatic plant (Trapa Bispinosa), called also vari-kubja
and jala-kubja. S'. says it is sometimes called kuvalaya, but this is
usually applied to a species of water-lily. He also mentions a reading
kunja, 'an arbour,' instead of kubja. Possibly this is the reading to
which the kujja of the Deva-n. MSS. is to be referred, as (according
to Vararuci ii. 33) khujja is Prakrit for kubja. There is doubtless a
double meaning in the word, but the first allusion is to the Kubja
plant. To appreciate the Vidushaka's pleasantry in comparing himself
to an upright reed, accidentally transformed into a crooked plant, we
must bear in mind that his natural form was that of a lame, hump-
backed man (see p. 59, n. i).

'adeps or feA,'=sthaufya-janaka-dhdtu, 'a secretion causing fatness,' K.
It performs the same functions to the flesh that the marrow does to the
bones ; its proper seat is in the belly (udara) ; hence the flesh is called
medas-krit, 'the maker of adeps.' Cheda=na&a, 'destruction,' 'removal,'
'reduction' (cf. gharma-ccheda, 'the cessation of the heat,' Vikram.,
Act IV). Utthana-yogyam, the Beng. MSS. read utsaha-yogyam, but
utsaha is merely a synonym for utihana, which is applied to any kind of
manly exertion. K. says it here refers especially to the act of mounting
on horse-back. Sattvandm, i. e.jantundm sinhddlndm, ' of animals such as
lions, &c/ Sattva may include both the hunters and the hunted. Vikriti-
mat, ' affected with vikriti or vikdra' i. e. any emotion which causes a
change from the prakriti, or ' natural and quiescent state of the mind '
(parityaJcta-prakritikam, K.); see p. 38, n. 2. Bhaya-krodhayoh (satoK) =
bhaye krodhe ca. Utkarsha=pratishthd, ' fame,' ' honour,' S'. Vyasanam,
see Manu vii. 47, 50, where hunting is designated as one of the ten vices
(vyasandni) of kings, and is, moreover, included amongst the four most
pernicious (kashtatama).

to utsdha-bhan-ga-kara, 'one who damps another's zeal,' Hitop. 1. 1987.

carita, p. 151, 1. 6, says, bhallukd manusliydndm ndsikdm grihnanti, ' bears
seize the human nose.' The Beng. read sriydla-mriga-lolupasya, ' eager
after a jackal or deer.' RiMhassa is Prakrit for rikshasya, Vararuci
iii. 30.
1 ' Let the buffaloes agitate-by-their-plunges the water of the tanks,
repeatedly struck with their horns ; let the herd of deer, forming groups
under the shade, busy themselves in rumination ; let the bruising of the
Musta grass be made in (undisturbed) confidence by the lines [herds] of
boars in the pool ; and let this my bow, having-the-fastening-of-its-string-
loose, get repose.' Gdhantdm=lolayantu, 'let them agitate, stir,' K.,
hence luldpa is one of the names for a buffalo. Gdh, properly, ' to plunge
into,' 'plunge about in.' Nipdna^dhdva, 'a reservoir or trough near a
well' (upaTfupa). Romantha = adhara-calana, 'the moving of the lower
lip or lower jaw,' K., and bhuktasya punar dkrishya or udglrya farvanam,
' the chewing of what has been eaten after drawing or vomiting it up
again,' i. e. 'chewing the cud,' S^., C. Abhyasyatu=^paunahpunyena
karotu, 'perform again and again,' C. Tatibhih=yuthaih, 'by herds.'
The Beng. read vardha-patibhir, ' by the chiefs of the boars.' There is no
difficulty in tatibhir ; many herds of animals form lines or tracks in
moving from one place to another, or in grazing. Musta, a sort of
fragrant grass (Cyperus Rotundus) eaten by swine, which are hence
called mustdda. Ksliati=viddrana, ' tearing,' 'uprooting,' K. ; = lunthana,
' rolling,' S'. The grass would probably be bruised by their trampling
and rolling on it, as well as by their eating it. Sithila-jyd-bandha =
avaropita-guna. S'. and C. observe that the above verse furnishes an
example of the figure called Jdti or Svabhdvokti, i. e. a description of
living objects by circumstances or acts suited to their character. They
also notice the change of construction from the nom. to the instr. in the
third line, and its resumption in the fourth.

this passage that its properties resembled those of a glass lens, which
instrument may possibly have been known to the Hindus at the time when
this play was written. The following parallel sentiment is from Bhartri-h.
ii. 30 : Tad acetano 'pi padaih sprishtah prajvalati savitur atikdntah,

lifeless (stone) beloved of the sun, when touched by its rays, burns ; how
then can the man of spirit put up with an injury inflicted by another 1 ?'
Abhi-bhava=tiras-kdra, ' insult,' K. The sun's rays, disturbing the natural
state of the stone, are compared to the hunter's disturbing the hermitage
and provoking its inhabitants. Vamanti, so read all the Deva-n. MSS.

Jcshikam is an Avyayibhava compound, but it is here used adjectively.

1 ' (Although the reputed) offspring of the sage, she is really sprung
from a celestial nymph, (and was) found (by him when) deserted by her;
like a severed flower of the Nava-mallika fallen on the sun-plant.' The
Nava-mallika (p. 22, n. i) is a delicate and tender plant (atikomala-
pushpa-bheda, C.) which, as a creeper, depends on some other tree for
support ; the arka, Asclepias, or Calotropis Gigantea, is a large and
vigorous one (see Sir "W. Jones, vol. v. p. 102); hence the former is
compared to Sakuntala, the latter to the sage Kanva. S'. explains
arkopari by raver upari, 'upon the sun;' but hints that some interpret
arka by arka-pushpa. Sura-yuvati, see p. 44, n. 2. According to K.,
kila is used vdrtayam, 'it is reported;' but S'. interprets it by niscitam,
'certainly.' Sithilam=vrintac cyutam, 'fallen from the stalk,' C. The
correspondence of the words in the first line with those in the second
is noticeable; sura-yuvati with nava-mallika, muni with arka, apatya
with kusuma, ujjhita with tithila, adhigata with cyuta.

there may be a great desire for the tamarind ; so is this desire of your

here probably used for the fruit, and therefore in the neuter. Tintidika
or tintidl, 'the tamarind tree.' Udvejitah = vaimanasyam prdpitah,

K. observes that, being dissatisfied with the thought contained in the

not fully enjoyed ; but sometimes they are perfected. Similarly the form

being inferior to the gods of the Triad ; and corresponds to the Jove or
Jupiter Tonans of classical mythology. In his lordship over Svarga, or
paradise, he might be supplanted by any one who could perform a hundred
Asva-medhas or horse-sacrifices (see p. 45, n. i). He and the other Suras
were for ever engaged in hostilities with their half-brothers, the demons
called Asuras or Daityas, the giants or Titans of Hindu mythology, who
were the children of Kasyapa by Diti, as the Suras were by Aditi (see

significant of muscular strength. It should be borne in mind that length

are consecrated to officiate in real sacrifices, the highest duty of kings is
the protection of their afflicted subjects (see p. 86, n. i). So read all the
Deva-n. and some of the Beng. MSS. The Beng. (Bodleian, 234) has
satrena, and some begin the verse with upakarini sarvesham, ' the helper

1 ' On the fourth day, (which is now) coming [i. e. on the fourth day

ing of the body of a son] will take place ; thereat [on that occasion]
certainly we ought to be honoured- with-a- visit by the long-lived-one [by
your Majesty, long may you live !].' Most of the Beng. MSS. read putra-
j)vnda-pdrana, ; but C. substitutes palana, and interprets the phrase by
pura-deJia-pushti-prada. S'. gives the same interpretation, but reads
paryupdsana for palana. Pinda, deha-matre iti Medirii, 'according to
MedinI, pinda has the sense of body,' S'. and 6. Putra refers to the
king in his relation to the queen-mother. The Deva-n. reading (pravritta-
pdrana upavasah, ' a fast which has come to an end') is not very
satisfactory. Upa-vdsa=vrata, 'a religious ceremonial accompanied
with fasting, but not necessarily a fast.' K. and 6. observe that one
name for this ceremonial was putra-rdja, and that it consisted in offering
various presents to the young king of sweetmeats, clothes, &c., just as
might be done in the present day on the occasion of a birth-day.

3 ' Stand between, like Trisan-ku.' The story of this monarch is told
at length in Ramay. i. 57-60 (see also p. 43, n. i). He is there described
as a just and pious prince of the Solar race, who aspired to celebrate a
great sacrifice, hoping thereby to ascend to heaven in his mortal body.
He first requested the sage Vasishtha to officiate for him ; but, being
N 2
9 2
refused, he then applied to the sage's hundred sons, by whom he was
cursed and degraded to the condition of a Candala. In this pitiable state
he had recourse to Visvamitra, who undertook to conduct the sacrifice,
and invited all the gods to be present ; they, however, refused to attend.
Upon this the enraged Visvamitra, by his own power, transported Tri-
san-ku to the skies, whither he had no sooner arrived than he was hurled
down again, head foremost, by Indra and the gods ; but, being arrested in
his downward course by VisvSmitra, remained suspended between heaven
and earth, forming a constellation in the southern hemisphere. The story
is differently told in some of the Puranas (Wilson's Vishnu-p. p. 371, note).
They and the Hari-v. describe Trisan-ku as a wicked prince, guilty of
three heinous sins (san-ku). S. adopts this view of his character, and
calls him krita-bahutara-malina-karmd raja. Antard = tapovana-sva-
nagarayor madhye, ( between the hermitage and the city.' The facetious
allusion to Trisan-ku is quite characteristic of the Vidushaka, and affords
an example of the Vyahara Alan-kara, S'. and C.
1 'Verily I am embarrassed. From the difference of the places of the
two duties [i. e. on account of the distance between the place where the
two duties have to be performed] my mind is divided in two, as the stream
of a river driven back [made to recoil] by rocks (lying) before it ' (cf. 'the
sentiment at verse 34). Purah=agre, 'in front,' 'ahead.' Although
pratihatam faile, ' which has struck on a rock,' is the reading of the Beng.
MS. (Bodleian, 233) and most of the Deva-n., yet the other Bengali and
S'. read failaih, which I prefer. The Deva-n. read srotovaho, gen. case
of sroto-vah, f. 'a river.' Some MSS. have srotovaham=nadl-sambandhi,
'belonging to a river' (K., S'., and C.), an adjective agreeing with srotah.
This verse is an example of the Yathopama Alan-kara, or ' comparison by
the use of the conjunction yatha.'

Telugu it has acquired the sense of ' master.' Cf. tatah pravisato Bharata-
sisTiyau, Vikram., Act III. Some read yajamdnah sishyah. The transla-
tion would then be, ' a pupil occupied about a sacrifice/ The pupil, or
religious student, certainly, did not officiate himself. Sishya, in fact,
denotes a Brahmacarin, or young Brahman in that state of pupilage
through which every Brahman had to pass, living in the house of his
preceptor, who, in return for instruction given, required his assistance
in various menial offices, in collecting materials for sacrifice, and in asking
alms. ' Let the student carry water-pots, flowers, cow-dung, fresh earth,
and Kusa grass, as much as may be useful to his preceptor; let him bring

the arrow ? the expulsion of the demons who impede our rites is effected
by the mere twanging of the bow, without the use of the arrow (sara-san-
dhdnam antarena, S'.), in the same manner as a threatening roar often
suffices to scare those who hear it. Cf. pratiiabdo hi harer hinasti nagdn,
Vikram., Act I. Hunkara is the roar of any fierce animal. The use of iva
shews that the figure by which the sound of the bow is thus designated is
Utpreksha, see Indian Wisdom, p. 454. So Bhatti-k. (x. 44), in giving
an example of this figure, describes a mountain as stretching out, as it
were, a huge body between heaven and earth to protect the land from the
inroads of the sea.

3 The Vishkambha or Vishkambhaka, according to the Sahitya-darpana
and Katavema's commentary on the opening speech of Act II. of this
play, is an introductory monologue or dialogue, so called from its con-
cisely compressing (vi-sJikambJi) into a short space an account of those
subordinate parts of the plot not enacted before the audience, a knowledge
of which is essential to the comprehending of the action of the remainder of
the play (vritta-vartishyamdndndm kathdnsdndm nidarakah, san-ksTiip-
tdrthas tu vishkambhah, Sahit-d. p. 146; see also p. 62, n. 2 of this play).
The Vishkambha may occur at the beginning of any of the Acts, even of the
First, immediately after the Prastavana (dddv an-kasya darsitah). It may
be spoken by two out of the three sets of characters into which the
dramatis personse of an Indian play are divided, viz. the inferior (nica),
who speak Prakrit anuddttoktyd; 'in the low tone;* and the middling
o

(madhya, madhyama), who speak Sanskrit uddttoktya, ' in the high tone ;'
but not by the chief (pradlidna), such as the hero, &c. Again, it may be
spoken by one character in the form of a soliloquy, or by two in the form
of a dialogue ; and either by characters of the middle class only, when it
is called Buddha, ' pure ; ' or by those of the middle and lower combined,
when it is called miira or sanklrna, ' mixed ' (madhyena madhyamd-
bhyam vd pdtrdbJiyam samprayojitah inddlidh sydt tu sankirno nlda-
madhyama-kalpitah). Sometimes the charactei-s are exclusively those of
the inferior class, who speak Prakrit ; sometimes more than two appear
on the stage at once, in which cases it is properly called Pravesaka,
though these terms are regarded as identical by the MSS. and com-
mentators (vishkambha, eva suvyaktaih praveiaka iti smritah, K. ; prave-
iaka eva vishkambhakah, S'.) The Sahit.-d. restricts the former title still
further by applying it to an interlude only (praveiako 'nuddttoktya nlca-
patra-prayojitah, an-ka-dvaydntar vijneyah iestiam msTikambhake yathd).
In Yikram., Act V, the opening soliloquy is styled Pravesaka both in
the MSS. and in the Calcutta edition. According to the S&hit-d. the
present monologue is a S'uddha-vishkambha. In the Beng. MSS. it is
termed a Pravesaka.

1 ' O divine flower-armed (god), by thee and by the moon, who (seem)
to be worthy of confidence, the whole company of lovers is deceived.
Why so ? [because] of thee, (there is said to be) the property of having
flowers for arrows, of the moon the property of having cold beams ;
both these (properties) are observed to be untrue in such as me; (for)
the moon emits fire with rays charged with cold ; thou also makest (thy)
flower-arrows hard as adamant.' The Hindu Cupid or Kama-deva, ' god
of love,' is the son of Vishnu or Krishna by Lakshmi, who is then called
Maya or Rukminl. He is armed with a bow made of sugar-cane, the
string consisting of bees, and with five flower-tipped arrows (whence his
name Panca-vana) which pierce the heart through the five senses. The
names of the five arrows (according to Bharata, cited by S'.) are i.
ffarshana, 'Gladdener;' 2. PraJiasana, ' Exhilarator ; ' 3. Mohana,
'Fascinator;' 4. Murchana, 'Sense-destroyer;' 5. Vikarshana, ' Distractor.'
According to K. the names of the five flowers which point these arrows,
and may be supposed to possess properties similar to those implied in the
names of the arrows themselves, are i. Aravinda, a kind of lotus;
2. Aioka; 3. Sirisha; 4. Cuta or Amra, i.e. the mango;' &, Utpala or
blue lotus. But according to Sir "W. Jones [Hymn to Kama-deva] they
are I. Campaka; 2. Cuta or Amra; 3. Keiara or N aga-keiara ; 4.
Ketaka; 5. Vilva or Bilva. In both lists the 6uta occurs. This is
certainly the favourite flower of the god (cf. the frequent allusions to it

in Glta-g. iii. 12, iv. 6, &c.); but in verse 135 the epithet paiicabhyadhika
is applied to this flower, and is explained by S'. to mean ' a sixth arrow,
in addition to the five ' (cf. Vikram., Act II, kimuta upavana-saliakaraih,
&c.) It is clear that some authorities do not include the mango in the list.
The Glta-g. (x. 14) mentions five other flowers as occasionally employed
by the god, viz. the bandhuka, madhuka, nlla-nalina or blue lotus, tila, and
kunda. Another account includes the Mallika or jasmine amongst the
five. In Hindu erotic poetry, cooling properties are attributed to the
rays of the moon, said to distil nectar ; hence some of his names ilta-
mayuk/ia, hima-ra$mi, hima-kara, amrita-su, sudhd-nidhi, &c. On the
other hand, the heating effect of these rays on the lover is often alluded
to, e.g. ltan&us tapandh, Glta-g. ix. 10, iv. 7, v. 3; cf. nandana-vana-
vdtdh Sikhina iva (Vikram., Act II), and pddds te ainah sukhayanti,

The story of the incineration of Kama-deva by a beam of fire darted
from the central eye of Siva is thus told in the RamSyana (i. 25, 10):
'Kandarpa, whom the wise call Kama (Cupid), had formerly a body.
He once approached Siva, the husband of Uma (ParvatI), soon after his
marriage, that he might influence him with love for his wife. S'iva

happened then to be practising austerities, and intent on a vow of chastity.
He therefore cursed the god of love in a terrible voice, and at the same
time a flash from his terrific eye caused all the limbs of his body to
shrivel into ashes. Thus Kama was made incorporeal [whence, as some
say, is his power over the minds of men] by the anger of the great god,
and from that time has been called " the bodiless one " (An-an-ga).' Aurva,
'submarine fire,' called badava or bddava, and personified as the son of the
saint Urva. The fable is told in Hari-v. (ch. xlv), and is noticed in
Troyer's Raja-taran-gini (iii. 170). The Rishi Urva, who had gained
great power by his austerities, was pressed by the gods and others to
beget children that he might perpetuate his race. He consented, but
warned them that his offspring would consume the world. Accordingly,
he created from his thigh a devouring fire, which, when produced,
demanded nourishment, and would have destroyed the whole earth, had
not Brahma appeared and assigned the ocean as its habitation, and the
waves as its food. The spot where it entered the sea was called Badava*
mukha, ' the mare's mouth.' Doubtless the story was invented to suit
the phenomenon of a marine jvald-mukJil or ' volcano,' which exhaled
bitumenous inflammable gas, and which occasionally shewed itself above
the sea, perhaps in the form of a horse's mouth. Langlois places the
position of it on the coast north of Malabar.
1 ' Nevertheless, the fish-bannered (god), even though incessantly bring-
ing mental anguish, (will be) acceptable to me, if employing (as the
subject about which he inflicts pain) that (maiden) with long intoxicating
eyes he so strike (me).' Makara-ketu, a name of Kama-deva, is derived
from the makara, or marine monster, subdued by him, which was painted
on his banner (ketu*). 'By the mention of this title, his invincibleness is
indicated,' S'. Adhikritya-=uddi&ya, 'with reference to,' S'. arid C. ; see

times yukta) gives a passive sense to the infinitive. The Beng. MSS. and

expressly states that iakyam is here used adverbially, and quotes a
parallel passage from Ramayana, iakyam anjalibhih pdtum vdtdh, 'the
breezes are able to be drunk by the hollowed palms.' A passage may be
added from the Hitop., vibhutayah iakyam avdptum, ' great successes are

deceased relatives, called S'raddha, generally consisted in offering a cake
made of rice and milk (pinda-nirvdpana), or in pouring out water (udaka-
ddna, udaka-kriya), or water and sesamum seed mixed. In the latter
case it was called tilodaka-dana, tila-tarpana, &c. The ceremony as
performed by Brahmans is described in Manu iii. 203, &c. ; see especially
iii. 223. Dattva sapavitram tilodakam, 'having poured out water with
sesamum seed and Kusa grass.' See Indian Wisdom, pp. 208, 253, &c.

the same as the Madhavi or vernal creeper, called also Vasanti and
Pundraka (see p. 108, n. 3). 'The beauty and fragrance of the flower of
this creeper give them a title to all the praises which Kalidasa and
Jayadeva bestow on them. It is a gigantic and luxuriant climber ; but
when it meets with nothing to grasp, it assumes the form of a sturdy tree,
the highest branches of which display, however, in the air, their natural
flexibility and inclination to climb,' Sir W. Jones, vol. v. p. 124.
1 ' Why need we wonder at this, since the constellation Visakha courts
[goes after] the young -moon?' i.e. if the constellation Visakha (or the
sixteenth lunar asterism, which is frequently written in the dual Visakhe,
as containing two stars) is eager for a union with the Moon, why need we
wonder at S'akuntala's desire to be united with a prince of the Lunar race 1
Sasan-ka-lekhd is properly ' a digit of the moon,' or the moon in its most
beautiful form when quite young. A complete revolution of the moon,
with respect to the stars, being made in twenty-seven days, odd hours, the
Hindus divide the heavens into twenty-seven constellations [asterisms] or
lunar stations, one of which receives the moon for one day in each of his
monthly journeys. As the Moon [Candra] is considered to be a masculine
deity, the Hindus fable these twenty-seven constellations as his wives, and
personify them as the daughters of Daksha. Of these twenty-seven wives
(twelve of whom give names to the twelve months) Candra is supposed
to shew the greatest affection for the fourth (Hohim), but each of the
others, and amongst them Visakha, is represented as jealous of this
partiality, and eager to secure the Moon's favour for herself. Dushyanta
probably means to compare himself to the Moon (he being of the Lunar
race, p. 15, n. i), and S'akuntala to Visakha. The selection of Visakha,
rather than Rohini, may perhaps be explained by a reference to p. 6, 1. 6,
where we learn that the summer-season had barely set in at the period
when the events of the drama were supposed to be taking place. If

therefore the season corresponded to the middle of May, the month would
probably be Vaisakha, and Visakha would, therefore, be appropriately
chosen before RohinT. This passage may also be interpreted, but not so
consistently with the fable, by referring m&akhe to the two female friends,
and sasdn-Jca-lekha to S'akuntala. The meaning would then be, ' It is not
to be wondered at that these two friends should follow S'akuntala and
assist in carrying out her schemes, any more than that the two stars
of Visakha should go after the young moon.' Anuvartete-=anusarataTi y

Apdn-ga = netra-pranta. Pravartibhih = skhaladbhih. An-atilulita = an-
atisakta, 'not closely adhering,' K.;=nabhilupta, S'. and C. The same
word occurs at the end of this Act, where allusion is made to the flowery
couch of S'akuutala, sarira-luUta, ' which her body had pressed.' One
sense of root lul is certainly to 'adhere,' 'stick,' 'cleave.' The Deva-n.
MSS. all have an-abhilulita with the same meaning, unsupported by K.
and the other scholiasts, and the oldest Beng. MSS. Through emaciation
and disuse of the bow (cf. p. 70, 1. 8, with p. 67, 1. 12) the callosities on
the fore-arm, usually caused by the bow-string, were not sufficiently
prominent to prevent the bracelet from slipping down from the wrist
to the elbow, when the arm was raised to support the head. This is a
favourite idea with Kalidasa to express the attenuation caused by love
(cf. Megha-d. 2, kanaka-valaya-bhransa-rikta-prakoshthah, ' having the
fore-arm bare by the falling of the golden bracelet).' The Beng. have an-
atilulita-jya-ghatankad, agreeing with mani-bandhandt, which would
appear at first sight to be the better reading. I have followed K. and
the Deva-n. MSS. in making this compound agree with valayam. It may,
however, as K. observes, be taken adverbially. Mani-bandhana, 'the
place for binding on jewels,' ' the wrist.'

explained by him as nirmalya, 'the remains of an offering of flowers

was one of the four recognized modes of encouraging a lover (see

1 'That very one, timid one, from whom thou apprehendest a
refusal, stands pining for a union with thee. The lover may or may not
win Fortune, (but) how, being beloved (by her), should he be difficult-to-
be-won by Fortune V Srl=Lakshmi, ' the goddess of beauty and fortune,'
here identified with S'akuntala or with the object of the lover's hopes and
aspirations. The commentators throw no light on this passage. The
meaning seems to be, ; There is always a doubt whether the suitor will
gain favour with Fortune, or with the beautiful maiden who may be the
object of his love, but when it is certain that he is beloved by her, how
can she have any difficulty in gaining him ? for there surely will be no
doubt of his being willing to accept her favours, however uncertain may
be her encouragement of his advances.' The verse which follows this in
the Beng. MSS. is probably spurious.
2 ' thou undervaluer of thine own excellences, who now would ward
off with the skirt of a garment the autumnal moonlight, the cooler of his

wink, because the countenance of her composing [whilst she is in the act
of composing] verses has one eyebrow raised ; (and) by her thrilling cheek
she discloses her affection for me.' Vismrita-nimeshena is very expressive
of a fixed, earnest gaze. Chezy translates, ' spectacle enclianteur \ dout

KantaJcita, lit. ' having the downy hair of the cheek erect like thorns ' (=

Hindus. Cf. Vikram., Act I, mama angatn sa-roma-kantakam an-

breast,' it also means 'a leaf of the Tallsa tree' ( = tallia-pattra); in Vikram.,
Act IV, the colour of a scarf is compared to the same thing (Sukodara-
Syamam standntukam), and in Maha-bh. ii. 1035, the colour of horses

1 'Thy heart I know not, but day and night, cruel one, Love
vehemently inflames the limbs of me, whose desires are centred in thee.'
Such is the reading of the Taylor MS. and my own. The other Deva-n.
agree, but give manorahaim for manorathani, in concord with an-gani.
Manorahdi and manorahae may both stand for the Sanskrit gen. fern.
manoratliayah (in concord with mama), and both are equally admissible
into the metre (Lassen's Instit. Prak. pp. 304, 305, 147). The inter-
pretation of Candra-sekhara supports this reading (nishkripa tapayati
ballyas tvad-abhimukha-manorathdyd an-gani). This verse is called
by Katavema the upanydsa or ' allusion,' see p. 1 1 6, n. 2 ; see also the

1 ' Thee, O slender-limbed one, Love inflames ; but me he actually con-
sumes incessantly ; for the Day does not so cause the lotus to fade as it
does the moon/ Kumuda or Jcumudvatl is a kind of lotus, which blossoms
in the night and fades by day (Jcumudvatl candra-virahena santapta
bhavati, S'.), here compared to S'akuntala. Kwmudvatl is usually ' a group
of lotuses.' iSa&anka, ' hare-marked,' i. e. the moon. Dushyanta again
compares himself to the moon (cf. p. 113, n. i). This with the pre-
ceding verse, according to S'. and C., is an example of the figure called
Uttarottara.

Aiu-klanta, &c. The Beng. have au-vimardita-mrinala-valayani or

1 ' Will our friend deign to take a seat here on the stone T cf. p. 76, 1. 3.
The stone-seat served also for the couch of S'akuntala, S*. Anugrihnatu,

reads alan-kwedu (= Sanskrit alan-karotu).
2 ' But affection for my friend prompts me to be the speaker of some-
thing superfluous/ i. e. of what has been so often repeated as to be already
sufficiently well-known. Punar-ukta, which properly means 'said again,'
' repeated,' has, in dramatic composition, acquired the acceptation of
' superfluous,' and sometimes simply ' additional.' Thus in the Vikram.,
Act III, the torches are said to be punar-uktaS candrikayam, ' rendered
superfluous in the moonlight ;' and in Act V. of that play, tears dropping
from the eyes on the breast are said to cause muktavall-viracanam punar-
uktam, ' the formation of an additional necklace of pearls.' Cf. also kim
punar-uktena, Malavik. p. 63, 1. 5. Sakhl-snehah = sakhl-vishayaka-

ParigraJia-bahutve=kalatra-bahulye. The Deva-n. MSS. read samudra-

Beng. add sakhl-Wiumau. Arddhayita=pari6arakali, 'an attendant,' S'.,

as well as service. There is designedly a ' double-entendre.'
2 ' Shall I set in motion moist breezes by (means of) cool lotus-leaf-fans

thighed (maiden), in (my) lap shall I rub them soothingly?' Karabhoru,
voc. case of karabhoru; according to Pan. iv. i, 69, uru, 'a thigh or hip,'

like vadhu; and Jcarabhoruh is said to be equivalent to vrittoruh stri, ' a
woman with round thighs.' Kardbha is ' the thick part of the hand/ ' the
part between the wrist and the fingers;' it is also 'a young elephant.'
Dr. Boehtlingk considers that the comparison is taken from the first of
these senses. It may with more reason be taken from the other ; for from
the following gloss of U. it seems probable that as kara stands for both the
human hand and the trunk of an elephant, and karabTia for the upper

dharman (cf. yuvam kshatriya-dharmanau, Hitop. 1. 2473).
3 ' Many daughters of Rajarshis [p. 44, notes i and 2] are heard to have

The Gandharva marriage is one of the forms of marriage described in
Manu iii. 22, &c. It is a marriage proceeding entirely from love (kdma-
samblmva) or the mutual inclination (anyonyeccha) of a youth and maiden,
and concluded without any ceremonies and without consulting relatives,
see Manu iii. 32; Indian Wisdom, p. 199. Gdndharvah = paraspara-

the Cakravaki or female of the Ruddy goose, commonly called the Brah-
mam duck (Anas Casarca). The male and female of these birds keep
together during the day (whence one of their names, dvandva-6ara, ' going
in pairs') and are, like turtle-doves, patterns of constancy and connubial
affection ; but the legend is that they are doomed to pass the night apart
(whence the name ratri-milesha-gdmin) in consequence of a curse pro-
nounced upon them by some saint whom they had offended. Accordingly,
as soon as night commences, they take up their station on opposite banks
of a river, and call to each other in piteous cries. The name rathom-ga or
ratha-pdda, ' chariot-footed,' sometimes given to them, indicates some
peculiar formation of the feet. Constant allusion is made to their habits ;

for the Sanskrit utphula, from root sphul, ' to leap,' allied to sphur. As
to the Prakrit upphulla, it may be observed that many consonants in
Prakrit are too weak to sustain themselves singly, and that if elision does
not take place, the consonant is sometimes doubled. Thus sukklia or
suha may be written for the Sanskrit sukha, and nihitta or riihia for
nlhita, Lassen's Instit. Prak. p. 276, 3. The oldest Beng. MS. has avirala-
padoddharaya, and the Calcutta ed. avirala-pdda-tvarayd gatya. Dur-
vasas is a saint or Muni, represented by the Hindu poets as excessively
choleric, and inexorably severe. The Puranas and other poems contain
frequent accounts of the terrible effects of his imprecations on various
occasions, the slightest offence being in his eyes deserving of the most
fearful punishment. On one occasion he cursed Indra, merely because
his elephant let fall a garland which he had given to this god; and
in consequence of this imprecation all plants withered, men ceased to
sacrifice, and the gods were overcome in their wars with the demons (see
Vishnu-p. p. 70). For Maharshi, see p. 39, n. 3, and p. 44, n. 2.

these luminaries, the vicissitudes of human life are indicated. The Moon
is called Oshadht-pati, ' lord of medicinal plants,' being supposed to exer-
cise some influence over the growth of such plants. Cf. Deut. xxxiii. 14,
' The precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and the precious things put
forth by the moon.' Oshadhl is described as ' dying (phala-pakdntd, Manu
i. 46) after the ripening of its fruit.' Asia is the name for the mountain
in the West, behind which, in Hindu poetry, the sun and moon are
supposed to set, as Udaya is the name of that over which they are
supposed to rise. Arka is a name of Siirya, ' the Sun.' He is represented
as seated in a chariot drawn by seven green horses, or by one horse with
seven heads (whence his name Saptdiva), and before him is a lovely youth

personified. Aruna is the son of Kasyapa and Vinata, and elder brother
of Garuda. His imperfect form may be allusive to his gradual or partial
appearance, his legs being supposed to be lost, either in the darkness of
the departing night, or in the blaze of the coming day. With this verse
cf. Mricchak. p. 321, 1. 4, thus translated by Wilson, 'In heaven itself the
sun and moon are not free from change (vipattim labhete); how should we
poor weak mortals hope to escape it in this lower world 1 One man rises

1 ' The moon having disappeared, even the lotus no longer gladdens my
sight, its beauty being now only a matter of remembrance. The sorrows
produced by the absence of a lover are beyond measure hard to be
supported by a tender-girl.' Some species of the lotus open their petals
during the night, and close them during the day, whence the Moon is
often called the Friend, Lover, or Lord of the lotuses (kumuda-bandhava,
kumudlnl-ndyaka, kumude&a). For dbala-janasya, the Beng. have abald-
janena; the genitive is equally admissible. Cf. svabhavas tasya durati-

1 ' "With a hurried toss of the curtain.' Patakshepena (so read all the
Deva-n. MSS. and K.) is from pata, with the same sense as apatl, i. e. the
curtain separating the stage from the nepathya (see p. 3, n. 2) and dkshepa,
1 tossing aside.' The Beng. reading is apatl-kshepena. Patdkshepena=
yavanikdpa/nodanena, K. ;=akasmdt, 'suddenly,' S'. According to K.,
the entrance of an actor under the influence of flurry caused by joy,
sorrow, or any other emotion (harsJia-fokadi-janita-sambhrama-yuktasya)
is made with a toss of the curtain.

Pashis to the presence of (thy) husband.' Compare Manu ii. 114,' Learning
having approached a Brahman said to him, "I am thy divine treasure,
deliver me not to a scorner, but communicate me to that student who
will be a careful guardian of the treasure." ' The Beng. and K. insert me

sanctuary.' Sarlram vina, i. e. akde Sarasvatyd nivedltah, ' he was in-

&arana=agny-dgara, 'the place where the sacred fire was kept ;'=yajna-
&ald, ' hall of sacrifice.' Fire is an important object of veneration with
the Hindus, almost as much so as with the ancient Persians. Perhaps the
chief worship recommended in the Vedas is that of Fire and the Sun.
According to Manu, Brahmans when they married and became house-
holders, were to kindle with two pieces of the hard S'ami, Aram, or
Khadira wood, or with a piece of the S'ami and Asvattha wood (see p. 23,
n. i), a sacred fire (homdgni, grihyagni, hutdgnt), which they were to
deposit in a cavity or hearth called agni-kunda or vitdna (Indian Wisdom,
p. 197), in some hallowed part of the house (or, like the Persians, in some
sacred building proper for the purpose) called ayny-dgdra (Manu iv. 58),
Jioma-dld, agni-griha, and which they were to keep lighted throughout
their lives, using it first for their nuptial ceremony (Manu ii. 231, iii.
171); and for the regular morning and evening oblations to Agni (homa,
hotra), performed by dropping clarified butter &c. into the flame, with
prayers and invocations (Manu xi. 41, iii. 81, 84, 85 ; see also p. 133, n. I
of this play); for the performance of solemn sacrifices (Manu ii. 143); for
the S'raddha or obsequies to departed parents and ancestors (Manu iii.
212 sqq. ; see also p. in, n. i of this play); and, finally, for the funeral
pile. The perpetual maintenance of this sacred fire was called agni-hotra,
agny-ddhdna, agni-rakshana ; and the consecration of it, agny-ddheya
149

(Manu ii. 143) ; and the Brahman or householder who maintained it, agni-
hotrin, dhitdgni, agny-dhiia, sdgnika. At Benares even to this day many
Agni-hotras are kept burning. Sometimes the householder did not him-
self attend to the sacred fire, but engaged an officiating priest (ritvij,
yajamdna, agnldhra, see p. 95, n. i ; p. 96, n. 2). The Brahman who did
not maintain a fire was called an-dhitdgni (Manu xi. 38). According to
Manu iii. 212 (with commentary) there were three periods when he was
necessarily without it, viz. just before his investiture, before his marriage
after the completion of his studentship, and at the death of his wife ; but
the usual daily oblation was then to be placed in the hand of a holy
Brahman, who is said to be one form of fire (see p. 74, n. 3; p. 50, n. 2).
Sacred fire is sometimes considered to be of three kinds (tretd, ' the triad of
fires') : I. Gdrhapatya, ' nuptial or household ;' 2. Ahavanlya, ' sacrificial,'
taken from the preceding ; 3. Dakshina, ' that placed towards the south,'
taken from either of the former; see Manu ii. 231. The man who
maintained all these three was called tretdgni. See Indian Wisdom,
p. 198, n. i.
1 ' [Having recourse to Sanskrit J] Know that (thy adopted) daughter,
Brahman, has conceived a glorious-germ [seed] implanted [lodged,
deposited] by Dushyanta for the welfare of the earth, as the S'aml-tree is
pregnant with fire.' Saml, 'a kind of thorny acacia' (see the last note,
and p. 23, n. i). The legend is that the goddess Parvati, being one day
under the influence of strong passion, reposed on a trunk of this tree,
whereby an intense heat was generated in the pith or interior of the
wood, which ever after broke into a sacred flame on the slightest attrition.

probably a man-gala-pushpa-mayl srak, or 'garland made of auspicious

described in Raghu-v. vi. 84. S'. and the Beng. read Jceiara-gundah or
lteara-6urnah, and S'. observes that the fragrant dust of this plant is
much used by women in making unguents (udvartandni).
1 'Whilst I also will compound auspicious unguents composed of
Mriga-rocana, holy earth, (and) Durba sprouts.' Mriga-rocana is said to
be either the concrete bile of a deer or an exudation from his head, used
as a medicine, a yellow dye or a perfume (see go-rocand in Diet.) The
latter word is the reading of the Beng. MSS. Tlrtha-mrittika is earth
brought from Tlrthas or holy bathing-places (see p. 17, n. i). Durba or
durva, ' bent-grass,' a kind of sacred grass, not quite so sacred as darbJia,
but possessing many virtues, and used for the argha (see p. 36, n. 2). Sir
W. Jones says of it, ' Its flowers, in their perfect state, are among the
loveliest objects in the vegetable world, and appear, through a lens, like
minute rubies and emeralds. It is the sweetest and most nutritious
pasture for cattle, and its usefulness, added to its beauty, induced the
Hindus to believe that it was the mansion of a benevolent nymph.' Samd-
lambhana is the act of smearing the body with coloured perfumes, such
as saffron, sandal, &c. ; the plural is here used for the unguents them-
selves, which are said to be man-gala, ' conducive to good fortune.' The
Beng. have samdlambhanam.
2 ' Sarn-garava and the (other) good-people ;' see p. 7, n. 3. The Beng.

a compound similar to iirah-snata, ' having the head bathed.' The Beng.
MSS. have krita-majjand. Svasti-vacanikdbhih is here an epithet of the
women who make the svasti-vdcana, i. e. according to K. 'a gift of
flowers, sweetmeats (prahelaJca), fruit, or any eatables presented with good
wishes and prayers for the blessing of some deity.' It is especially the
blessing which is coupled with the gift. In the present case the hallowed
rice which they held in their hands, might have constituted the offering
which accompanied the svasti-vdcana. In Vikram. the Vidushaka is
propitiated by a svasti-vdcana (or -naka), consisting of a modaka-s'ardva,

1 ' Daughter, be thou highly honoured of thy husband, as was S'ar-
mishtha of Yayati. Do thou also obtain a son, a sovereign monarch, as
she (obtained) Puru.' S'armishtha, according to K.. was the daughter of
Vrisha-parvan, king of the Asuras or demons, and wife of Yayati, son
of Nahusha, one of the princes of the Lunar race, and ancestor of Dush-
yanta, see p. 15, n. i. The S&hitya-darpana (p. 190) cites this verse as
an example of aiir-vada, ' benediction,' but reads (as also do the Beng.)
patyur for bhartur, and putram for sutam. Samraj is a sovereign prince,
who has performed a Rajasuya sacrifice, and exercises despotic sway over
others.

eleven syllables, the first and third Padas resembling the VATOBMI, and the second

syllable is short.
In Kig-veda i. 59, 5, the first Pada is exactly like the first in the above scheme,
but the other Padas are arranged differently, as far at least as the seventh syllable.
Kalidasa, accustomed to the strictness of the later Sanskrit metres, seems here to have
endeavoured to imitate the Vedic rhythm, in which greater liberty was allowed. Thus
he produced a verse too irregular to come under any of the later metres, but rather
too regular for a Vedic hymn.

1 ' How now, removed from my foster-father's side, like a tendril of the
sandal-tree uprooted from the slopes of Malaya, shall I support life in a
strange place V The Candana or sandal tree (a-dvraXov), Sirium Myrti-
folium, is ' a large kind of myrtle with pointed leaves/ the wood of which
affords many highly esteemed perfumes, unguents, &c., and is celebrated
for its delicious scent. It is found chiefly on the slopes \tata, upatyaka,
Raghu-v. iv. 46, 48] of the Malaya mountains, which are thence called
candanacala, the tree being sometimes called Malaya-ja, ' Malaya-born.'
Frequent allusion is made to this tree being infested by snakes (see
Raghu-v. iv. 48; Hitop. 1. 1582). Tara, of which the Sanskrit equivalent
is probably tata, is the reading of all the Deva-n. MSS. It is synonymous
with utsan-ga, 'the slope of a hill,' so that Malayasya utsamigat exactly
answers to tatasya-an-kat [anka^utsanga, Amara-k. iv. i, 4], D and r
are certainly interchangeable in Sanskrit and Prakrit, and the substitution
of d for t is usual. L, however, is the more common substitute, and it
might be supposed that Malaya-tara was for Malay a-tala=. Malayasya

1 ' How, my child, will the grief of me, looking at the oblation of rice-
graiiis formerly offered by thee, germinating at the door of the cottage,
ever be assuaged [ever go to assuagement] V Carita, so reads the Cole-
brooke MS. ; the others have racita-purvam-=purd-mhitam, S'. Carita is
supported by caru, ' an oblation of rice.' The bolt, or griha-bali, is a
particular kind of offering, identical with the bhuta-yajna, i. e. a sacrifice
for all creatures, but especially in honour of those demigods and spiritual
beings called griha-devatah, ' household deities,' which are supposed to
hover round and protect households (Manu iii. 80), or to whom some par-
ticular part of the house is sacred. This offering was made by throwing
up into the air (Manu iii. 90), in some part of the house, generally at the
door (Manu iii. 88), the remains of the morning and evening meal of rice
or grain ; uttering at the same time a mantra or prayer to some of the
inferior deities, according to the place in which it was made (Manu iii. 87,
&c.), whether to Indra with his followers the Maruts, or to Kuvera with
his followers the Guhyakas, Kinnaras, Yakshas, &c., or to the spirits of
trees, waters, &c. (Manu iii. 88, 89). According to Colebrooke it might
be presented with the following Pauranik prayer, ' May gods, men, cattle,
birds, demigods, benevolent genii, serpents, demons, departed spirits,
blood-thirsty savages, trees, and all who desire food given by me may
reptiles, insects, flies, and all hungry beings or spirits concerned in this
rite, obtain contentment from this food left them by me !' It was some-
times offered by the women of the house, who might assist in any sacrifice,
provided they abstained from repeating the Mantras (Manu iii. 121), and
as the offering was intended for all creatures, even the animals were
supposed to have their share in it (Manu iii. 92). In point of fact the
crows, dogs, insects, &c. in the neighbourhood of the house were the real
consumers of it (whence bali-pushta, bali-bhuj, griha-bali-bhuj, as names

of a crow, crane, sparrow, &c., compare Hitop. 1. 1076), and such of the
grains as escaped being devoured by them would be likely to germinate
about the threshold. This ball formed one of the five great religious rites,
sometimes called sacraments, which the householder who maintained a
perpetual fire (see p. 148, n. i) had daily to perform (Manu iii. 67, iv. 21).
See Indian Wisdom, pp. 203, 251. It was in honour of all creatures of
every description, but particularly of those not provided for by the other
four sacrifices. It might have reference, however, to the deities and beings
honoured in the other sacraments. That it had especial reference to the
Griha-devatah is indicated in Manu iii. 117, with commentary; and in the
Mricchakatika, where Carudatta, after fulfilling the Deva-karya, or second
of the five rites (cf. p. 140, 1. 17), is described as offering the bali to the
household gods around the threshold. His speech, as he offers it, corre-
sponds remarkably with that of Kasyapa, Ydsam balih sapadi mad-
griha-dehallnam, hansaii ca samsa-ganaii ca vilu/pta-purvah, tdsv eva sam-

groom goes in procession to the house of the bride's father. The bride is
given to him by her father, and their hands, on which turmeric has been
previously rubbed, are bound together with Kusa grass. The bridegroom
next makes oblations to the sacred household fire, and the bridegroom
drops rice into it. The bridegroom solemnly takes her hand in marriage
(whence he is called pani-grahltri, and marriage pdni-grahana), and leads
her round the sacred fire (whence he is called parinetri). The bride steps
seven times, and the marriage is then irrevocable. VUadahprasannak,

this reading, but adopts the one in the text and censures the interpretation
of S*. Pratishthd may have the sense I have given, which agrees with
the prdrthitdrthadhigamah and caritdrthatd of the preceding lines. Ati-
irama may either refer to the trouble which the king has undergone in
arriving at the object of his ambition, or to the troubles of his subjects
which it is his office to remove. In the latter case na ca iramdya will
mean ' without leading to personal trouble or weariness.' The Indian
chattra, or parasol, from the shelter it affords has been chosen as one of
the insignia of royalty. It is very heavy, and being fixed on a long pole
greatly fatigues the person holding it. It is always borne by a servant ;
but here the king is figuratively made to bear it himself, so that he
cannot give shelter to himself and others, without undergoing great per-
sonal fatigue. Na ca iramdya is found in all the Deva-n. MSS. ; the
Beng. have yathd framdya, i.e. 'royalty does not so much lead to the
removal of fatigue as to fatigue.' According to K., who repeats the first
negative before na ca Sramdya, the two negatives are here employed
affirmatively, i. e. to affirm that royalty does lead to personal fatigue. ' It
is not for the removal of great fatigue and not not for fatigue.' Cf. a
similar use of two negatives on p. 24, 1. 10, with note.
1 Vaitdlika = vandin, 'a herald,' C.; = stuti-pathaka, ' a panegyrist/ S'.
He was a kind of herald or crier, whose duty was to announce, in measured
verse, the fixed periods into which the king's day was divided. The strain
which he poured forth usually contained allusions to incidental circum-
stances. In Vikram. and Ratn., only one Vaitalika appears, but here and
in the Malavik. there are two. In Vikram., Act II, he announces the
sixth hour or watch of the day, about two or three o'clock, at which
period alone the king is allowed to amuse himself. From the Dasa-
kumara it appears that a king's day and night were supposed to be
divided into eight portions of one hour and a half, reckoned from sunrise,
for distributing which strict directions are given, thus : Day i. The
king being dressed, is to audit accounts; 2. He is to pronounce judgment
in appeals ; 3. He is to breakfast ; 4. He is to receive and make presents;

5. He is to discuss political questions with his ministers ; 6. He is to
amuse himself; 7. He is to review his troops; 8. He is to hold a military
council. Night i. He is to receive the reports of his spies and envoys;
2. He is to sup or dine ; 3. He is to retire to rest, after the perusal of
some sacred work ; 4 and 5. He is to sleep ; 6. He is to rise and purify
himself; 7. He is to hold a private consultation with his ministers, and
instruct his officers; 8. He is to attend upon the Purohita, or family
priest, for the performance of religious ceremonies. See Wilson's Hindu
Theatre, vol. i. p. 209.
1 ' Indifferent to thine own ease, thou endurest toil every day for the
sake of (thy) people. But thy regular-business is of this very kind. For
the tree suffers intense heat with its head (while) it allays by (its) shade

2 ' Having assumed the mace [sceptre] thou restrainest those who
advance on the wrong road [set out on bad courses]; thou composest
differences; thou art adequate to the protection (of thy people). Let
kinsmen make their appearance forsooth in affluent circumstances [when
there is abundant property], but in thee the whole duty of a kinsman is
comprehended towards thy subjects.' Atta-danda=grihlta-danda; danda,
'a magistrate's staff,' taken as a symbol of punishment and justice; it
is sometimes 'the sceptre of a king;' hence danda-dhara, dandin, 'staff-
bearer,' &c., are names for Yama, the god of justice and lord of punish-
ment. Vimdrga, some have kumarga, ' bad ways.' Kalpase = sam-
padyase, K. Manu furnishes several examples of klrip in the sense of ' to
be sufficient,' 'to be fit' (see ii. 151, ii. 266, vi. 20; also Raghu-v. viii. 40).

privately existed (between us) ; it (seemed) as if (the god) Smara's bow
was snapped asunder by that very -red-eyed one with excessive anger, on
the parting of her curved eyebrows.' The double-entendre in the word
Smara, which means ' recollection' as well as 'the god of Love/ is notice-
able (see the notes on Kama-deva, p. 99, n. i, and p. 100, n. i). The figure
by which the eyebrows of a beautiful woman are compared to Cupid's bow
is common, and the glances from the eye are by a similar metaphor often
likened to arrows discharged from it. Sakuntala is said to break the bow
by the parting of her eyebrows, which were contracted in anger. Possibly
one effect of anger might be to wrinkle the brow, which would appear to
separate the eyebrows.

Cdpalam is 'any action proceeding from thoughtlessness or over-precipita-

' placing that at the top which ought to be at the bottom,' CX In Manu
viii. 53, the word occurs in the sense of 'confused and contradictory state-
ment ;' and again in viL 2 1, it is applied to express the confusion of ranks
[adharam=iudrddi; uttaram=pradhanani] which would ensue, if justice
were not duly administered by the king. It may be translated here ' con-
fusion of principles,' ' inversion of the proper order of things,' and pro-
bably refers to the ironical statement in the succeeding verse. Hence the
meaning may be, ' You have been taught upside down or backwards.' In
other words, ' The usual definition of the fourth Pramana (iabda] is dpta-
vdkya, you would make it andpta-vdkya, the words of an improper
person.' See Indian Wisdom, pp. 72, 92. Adharottara may mean 'reply

sin.' This is addressed to the Brahman who acts as the Purohita, whose
duty it would be to advise the king as to which was the more or less sinful
course. This sense of guru-ldghava is supported by several other passages
(Maha-bh. xii. 1273, iii. 10572; Manu ix. 299). The more obvious sense
would be, ' the alleviation [solution] of a grave matter.'

The king's brother-in-law, who here acts as superintendent of police, is a
character not unfrequently introduced in the plays (cf. Mricchak. p. 224,
1. 4; p. 227, 1. 12; p. 230, 1. 1, in which passages he is called rdja-iyalah
and rdshtriya-iyalah). K. observes that the policemen and the fishermen
in this scene speak the Magadhi form of Prakrit (see Lassen's Instit. Pr5k.
p. 391), but SC affirms that the fisherman speaks the Stakara dialect (caura-
pdtras tu Sakdra-namadheyah 6akdra-prdya-bhdshandi), see Lassen's
Tnstit. Prak. p. 422. Both SL and K. have omitted to make mention of
the dialect spoken by the Syala or Nagarika. According to Visvanatha
(Sahit.-d. p. ]8o, 1. 12) he ought to speak the Dakshinatya form of
Prakrit. In the Beng. MSS., and some of the Deva-n., he is certainly
made to speak a dialect distinct from the other characters of this scene,
but in the best MSS. pure Prakrit forms are found in the speeches
attributed to him. Indeed, as brother-in-law of the king, he must have
been a Kshatriya, or one of the military caste.

1 ' With a gesticulation of fear.' The ka added to ndtita may possibly
signify a poor, sorry, or ludicrous gesture. It is often pleonastic, but in

3 This is spoken ironically, as, according to Manu(x. 46-48), the nishdda,
or fisherman caste, was one of the lowest. ' Those who are considered as
low-born shall subsist only by such employments as the twice-born despise.
Nishadas (must subsist) by catching fish,' &c. Any occupation which in-
volved the sin of slaughtering animals (excepting in the case of sacrificing
to the god S'iva) was considered despicable. Butchers and leather-sellers
were as great, or even greater, objects of scorn.

though in-bad-repute, verily must not be abandoned. The same Brahman,
who is savage in the act of slaughtering animals, may be (of a disposition)
tender with compassion.' Saha-ja^=Jcula-Jcramdnugata, 'inherited from
one's forefathers.' See Indian Wisdom, p. 140 and note. Manu is very
peremptory in restricting special occupations to the different castes,
especially to the mixed and lowest castes, formed by intermarriage with
the others. ' A man of the lowest class, who, through covetousness, lives
by the acts of the highest, let the king strip of all his wealth and banish.
His own office, though badly performed, is preferable to that of another,
though well performed ; for he who lives by the duties of another class,
immediately falls from his own' (Manu x. 96, 97). Hence we find the
employments of fishing, slaughtering animals for food, leather-selling,
basket-making, burning the dead, &c. &c., assigned to men born in certain
impure castes, and confined perpetually to their descendants. To the
higher and purer castes a greater variety of employment was allowed.
observes that the Brahman is called Shat-karman, from the precept of
Manu (i. 88), which enjoins upon him six occupations, viz. reading,
teaching, sacrificing, assisting others to sacrifice, giving, and receiving.
See Indian Wisdom, p. 244. tJnder certain circumstances he was allowed
by Manu to engage even in trade, and other employments. The sacrifice
of animals was enjoined only on the priests of the god Siva. The
Brahman, in the worship of this god, might have to kill animals ; but
this was as much a necessary part of his business, as killing fish, of the
fisherman, and was no proof of any natural cruelty of disposition. S 7 .
defines a Srotriya Brahman thus : Janmana Brahmano jneyah, sanskd-
rair dvija ucyate^ vidyaya yati vipratvam, tribhih Srotriya ucyate, ' birth
constitutes the title Brahman; sacramental rites (especially that of in-
vestiture with the sacred thread), the title Dvija, or twice-born ; know-
ledge, the title Vipra ; and all three Srotriya.' The usual definition of
this word is, a Brahman conversant with Sruti, or scripture.

carp, found in lakes and ponds in the neighbourhood of the Ganges. It

1 '0 Januka, the villain stinking (as he does) of raw flesh (is) doubtless
a fisherman.' Januka is the name of the other policeman, who is supposed
to have detected the thief (jdnuJca iti cora-jnatur apara-padater nama, S'.)
Some Beng. MSS. havejafoia (=jdluka). Visra-gandhi= dmisha-gandhi,
CX Go-ghdtl, the killing of a cow (go-hatya), is reckoned by the Hindus
a most heinous crime (cf. Hitop. 1. 162). Hence go-ghdtin, 'cow-killer,'
is applied as a reproachful epithet to any rogue or low person. Thus in
the Mricchak. p. 299, 1. 4; p. 317, 1. 2, the (Tandala is called go-Tia or
go-ghna.

K. has vimdrshtavyam, from mrij.

1 ' My hands tingle [my fingers itch] to bind a flower (about the head)
of this victim [criminal about to be executed].' All the Deva-n. MSS.
have swnianah pinaddhum, excepting the Mackenzie, which has sumaha-
nam for iumano. The Beng. have got rid of the difficulty by substituting
vyapddayitum, 'to kill.' It is clear from what follows that the two
policemen expected that their master would return with the king's order
for putting the fisherman to death. From the Malati-m. and other plays,
it is evident that a person about to be offered as a victim to Siva or
Durga had a wreath of flowers bound round the head. This was also
the case with common criminals, previous to their execution.

reference to two other passages, one in Act VII. of this play (putra-
mukha-daranena), another in Mricchak. p. 303, 1. 4. Doubtless putra-
mukham drii is a common phrase, but the whole point of this passage
seems to me to lie in the ludicrous substitution of 6unah for putrasya.
2 Yama-sadana, ' the abode of Yama,' i. e. the infernal city, Yama-pur,
whither the Hindus believe a departed soul immediately repairs, and
receives a just sentence from Yama, the Hindu Pluto or Minos. The
name Yama, i. e. Restrainer or Punisher (from yam, ' to restrain'), is given
to him as judge of departed spirits and god of punishment.
3 This is said ironically, in reference to p. 219, 1. 7, n. 3.

1 ' This (fellow) forsooth (may well say he) has been favoured, who,
after being made to descend from the stake, has been mounted on the
withers of an elephant.' Sula, ' a stake for impaling Criminals.' The act
of impaling was called iularopana, and one who deserved it 6ulya.
1 Mounting on an elephant ' denotes elevation to high dignity, elephants
being used in triumphal processions.
2 This is the reading of K. Most of the Deva-n. have palidoSam ka-

bespeaks] that this ring must be highly prized by the king.'
3 ' Though naturally reserved [unruffled, deep, profound] he became for

1 So read most of the Deva-n. MSB. Matsyikd is not given in the
Dictionary. Dr. Boehtlingk translates it by Fisch-brut, ' the fry of fish,'
and observes that it is also the name for a kind of fish called in German
Schaar. Had the word been matsyika or matsyika, ' a fisherman,' there would
have been no difficulty. May it not mean ' a fish-woman/ and matsyika-
Wuirtri, ' this husband of a fish-woman V K. and the Bengali have matsya-
iatroh, ' enemy of fishes.' Burkhard follows this, and reads maccha-attunotti,
but in the Vocabulary prefers ma$chia=matsyikd, 'a fish' (1).
2 ' Let the half of this be the price of your flower (for binding about
my head).' The fisherman is again ironical. The allusion of course is to
the flower mentioned at p. 222, 1. 1 1. There is probably a double-entendre
in sumanah, which may signify ' good -will,' as well as ' flower.'
3 ' Our first friendship requires to be attested over (some) wine,' i. e.
we must pledge ourselves over our cups or in drinking each other's health.
Kadambari, ' an intoxicating liquor distilled from the Kadamba flower.'
Sdksliikam, compare Malavik. p. 53, 1. 7; Kaghu-v. xi. 48; Hitop. 1. 842.
1 'Attendance at Apsaras-tirtha (which is wont) to be performed (by
us) in regular-rotation has been performed by me. Now, whilst (it is) the
bathing-time of the good people [i. e. of Sakuntala and the nymphs], I
will with my own eyes ascertain the circumstances [news] of this Rajarshi.'
Sdnnidhyam (from san-nidha), lit. ' proximity ;' here it denotes ' close at-
tendance or waiting,' as in Hitop. 1. 1112, anujlvina Sdnnidhyam avaiyam
karanlyam. In the interlude before Act IV. of Vikram., upasthdna occurs
with the same sense in a parallel passage : Apsaro-vydpdra-parydyena
suryasya upasthdne vartamdnayd priya-saJchyd vind vasanta-samaya
dgata, iti balavad utkanthitdsmi, ' I am mightily troubled that the spring
season has arrived during the absence of my dear friend, who is in
attendance upon Surya, according to the regular cycle of nymph's duty.'
Ud-anta (lit. 'reaching to the end'), 'telling to the end,' 'full tidings,' 'news.'
2 ' Verily by (my) connexion with Menaka, Sakuntala has now become
part of myself,' lit. ' my own body,' i. e. ' part of my own flesh and blood,'
' identified with myself.' As to the nymph Menaka, the mother of Sa-
kuntala, see p. 44, 1. n with n. 2, and p. 45, n. i. S'arlra-Wiutd, this is
the same sort of compound as puga-krita or puga-bhuta; see Pan. ii. 1,59,
and p. 167, n. 2 at the end. Cf. iarlram asi me, 'thou art my body,'
Malavik. p. 33, 1. 12.

1 Ritutsava, lit. ' the festival of the season,' i. e. the Vasantotsava, or
' great vernal festival,' in celebration of the return of spring, and said to
be in honour of the god Krishna. Originally his son K&ma-deva, the god
of love, must have been the object of worship in this festival. It is
identified with the Holi or Dola-yatra, the Saturnalia, or rather, Carnival
of the Hindus, when people of all conditions take liberties with each other,
especially by scattering red powder and coloured water on the clothes of
persons passing in the street, as described in Ratnavali, pp. 5, 6, 7, where
syringes and waterpipes are used by the crowd. Flowers, and especially
the opening blossoms of the mango, would naturally be much used for
decoration at this festival, and as offerings to the god of love. It was
formerly held on the full moon of the month Caitra, or about the begin-
ning of April, but now on the full moon of Phalguna, or about the
beginning of March. The other great Hindu festival, held in the autumn,
about October, is called Durgotsava or Durgd-pujd, being in honour of
the goddess Durga.
2 Pranidhana, ' profound meditation,' or that mental faculty by
which divine beings were supposed to be able to ascertain future
events. The verb pra-ni-dhd (sometimes with manas) is primarily ' to
fix in ;' hence ' to fix the mind on,' ' be intent on.' Compare mayd
pranidhdna-sthitaya atydhitam upalabdham, Vikram. (interlude before
Act' IV).
3 Tiras-karini, a kind of magical veil, rendering the wearer invisible.

1 ' reddish pale-green mango-blossom, the very essence of the life of
the vernal month, thou art seen (by me, and) I bid thee hail, auspicious-
harbinger of the season.' A-tdmra-Jiarita-pandura, this kind of Dvandva
Bahuvrihi compound, expressing varieties of colour, is noticed by Pan. ii. i, 69
(cf. krisJina-iukla, lohita-Savala, &c.) A prefixed, implies diminution, and is
equivalent to Ishat. So a-pdndu, ' yellowish,' or ' slightly yellow,' Vikram.,
Act II. Jlva-sarvasva, lit. ' whose whole substance is constituted of life/
see p. 33, n. i in the middle. Some MSS. have jlva-sarvasvam, agreeing
with tvdm. Man-galam, ' anything auspicious,' ' any symbol or sign of
happiness;' in this latter sense it seems to be used here. The goddess
DurgS is called in the same way sarva-man-gala, 'presiding over the
happiness of the whole world.' Situ is evidently here the season par
excellence, the season of all others. Prasddaydmi, lit. ' I ask thee to be
favourable,' ' I entreat thee to be propitious.'
2 Para-bhritikd, 'the female of the Indian cuckoo,' see p. 162, n. 2.
Verse 134. ABTA or GATHA. See verse 2.

2 { Having joined the hands together,' or ' having placed them one over

it is also the name for a mode of joining the hands. Probably the hands

to a pigeon. S*. and CT. quote the following verse, which seems to intimate
that this position was significant of humble entreaty, respectful representa-
tion, or fear : Sarva-parSva-samaileshat kapotah sarva-ilrshakah [sarpa-

pari-mrU, 'to lay hold of;' cf. p. 203, n. i. One MS. (I. 0. 1060) has
para-mwrshtum (from para-mri), ' to seize,' ' lay violent hands on,' and this
reading is adopted by the St. Petersburg dictionary and by Dr. Burkhard.
1 Jdnma-pratishthd = janma-stJmnam, 'place of birth;' = mdta,
'mother/ Che'zy. Janma-pratishthd-=jana/n/i, S'. Dushyanta speaks of
S'akuntalS to the Vidushaka as, ' thy friend.' So the Yaksha speaks of
his wife to the Cloud, in Megha-d. 87, 93.
2 ' Truly the state-of-mental-delusion [delirium, hallucination] is to be
wondered at, not the recovery-from-it [the awakening from it].' S'. ex-

3 Pdrayatah, ' are able,' from the causal of root pri, meaning properly
'to carry over,' 'conduct,' 'achieve,' &c. ; cf. p. 146, 1. 2. In Prakrit
and more modern Sanskrit (as also in Bengali) it has, as here, the sense
' to be able.' It may come from a nominal verb from para, ' the other
Side.' (Cf. Tre'pa, Trepas, irepd<o, nepatva>.)

1 ' Was it a dream 1 or an illusion-of-magic 1 or a mental-delusion 1
or (the result of my) good-works so far indeed rewarded (and then)
marred 1 It has certainly passed away, never to return ; (and so has
become) the steep precipice of my heart's-fondest-hopes.' Such is the
reading of all the Deva-n. MSS., and doubtless the true one. In the
third and fourth Padas I have adopted eva and prapdtah (in place of
ete and prapdtdh) from the Mackenzie, the former supported by K. Maya,
i. e. indra-jdlddi-kriya, S*. Bhrama, one so affected imagines that to be
present which does not really exist (asad api sdkshdt-karoti, S'. and (T.)
Punyam, i. e. svaklyam sukritam, K. Tdvat-phalam eva, i. e. darana-
phalam eva, K. ; dar$ana-mdtra-phalam, (T., ' fruitful so far only as the
sight of S'akuntala,' K. Klishtam (cf. p. 201, 1. 13); the best explanation
of this idea will be found in p. 80, 1. 7, with n. 2, and in n. 2 below.
Asannivrittyai, cf. Raghu-v. viii. 48, para-lokam asannivrittaye gatasi,
'thou art gone to the other world never to return/ S'. thus explains
the second half of the verse, 'As a man after .ascending the peak of a
mountain falls headlong, so my hopes after ascending to the sight of
S'akuntala are precipitated.' As to tata, see p. 175, n. r. Amara-k. (ii.
3, 4) gives atata as a synonym of prapdta and bhrigu, each of these words
signifying ' a precipice,' but there is no reason why atata should not be
used as an epithet of prapdta, to denote a very precipitous declivity. The
Beng. MSS. read klriptam nu tdvat plialam eva punyaih, asannivrittau
tad [asannivrittyai tad\ atwa manye manorathdnam atata-prapatam.

1 ' A light being really (near at hand) this-man by reason [fault] of the
screen (which covers it) experiences (all the) ill-effects of darkness.' Dr.
Boehtlingk proposes to interpret andhaara-dosam by andhakara-dosham,
' dark night,' or ' the darkness of night,' but this seems hardly a legitimate
compound, nor does the sense require it.
2 ' Longing for their portions of the sacrifice.' Janna is the Prakrit
equivalent for yajna (Vararuci iii. 44). Great sacrifices were performed
by kings in celebration of auspicious events, especially after marriage, in
the hope of securing issue, and Indra as well as the inferior gods were in-
vited to partake of portions set apart for them. These sacrifices were
accompanied by largesses to the Brahmans, and festivities, in which the
gods were supposed to be eager to participate. Cf. Hamay. i. 13, 6. 8.
The mother of Indra was Aditi, who was the wife of Kasyapa (see p. 2 2,
n. 3). It appears from Act VII. of this play that S'akuntala was at this
time enjoying an asylum with the illustrious pair Kasyapa and Aditi in
some sacred retreat, where they were engaged in acts of mortification and
penance.

2 ' Priding thyself on the power of rendering thyself invisible.' Tiras-
karinl is properly a veil to cover the head, used by celestial beings to
render themselves invisible (cf. p. 227, 1. 5). It is here the science or art,
peculiar to such beings, of so concealing themselves. This interpretation
is supported by the gloss of Ran-ganatha on tiraskarim-pracchannd in
Act II. of Vikram. ; tiraskarinl = anta/rdkana-vidya. It answers to
the 6ikha-bandhani vidya, ' art of tying [covering] the top-knot,' called

Diti was one of the wives of Kasyapa and daughters of Daksha. The

yellow with a fragrant sandal-wood called Hari-candana (cf. Kumara-s.

with the same colour. Wreaths and garlands of flowers were much used
by the Hindus as marks of honorary distinction, as well as for ornaments
on festive occasions, and to adorn sacrificial victims (cf. p. 222, 1. n, n. i).
They were suspended round the neck (see p. 150, n. 3), or placed on the

1 'In which course [path, orbit] of the (seven) winds are we now
moving V The Hindus divide the heavens into seven Margas or Pathas,
i. e. paths, courses, orbits (like the stories of the Mussalman creed), assign-
ing a particular vdyu or wind to each. Cf. Vishnu-p. p. 212. The first
of these seven, vdyu-mdrgdh or vdyu-pathas, is identical with the bhuvar-
loka, or atmospheric region, extending from the bhur-loka, or terrestrial
region [comprising the earth, and the adho-loka, called Patala], upwards
to the sun. The wind assigned to this Marga is called dvaha, and its
office is to bear along the atmosphere, clouds, meteors, lightning, &c.
The other six make up the svar-loka or heavenly region with which
Svarga is often identified (cf. p. 272, n. 2) in the following order : The
2nd Marga is that of the sun, and its wind, called pravaha or pravdha,
causes the sun to revolve ; 3rd, that of the moon, its wind samvaha or
samvdJia impels the moon ; 4th, that of the nakshatra, or lunar con-
stellations, its wind udvaha causes the revolution of these asterisms ;
5th, that of the graha, or planets, its wind vivdha bears along the seven
planets ; 6th, that of the saptarshi, or seven stars of the Great Bear, its
wind parivaha bears along these luminaries, as well as the svar-gawgd, or
heavenly Ganges \saptarshi-cakram svar-gawgdm shashtliah parivahas
tatJid] ; it appears from the next verse that this was the Marga in which
Indra's car was at the moment moving ; 7th, that of dhruva, or the polar-
star, the pivot or axis of the whole planetary system, to which, according
to the Vishnu-p. (pp. 230, 240), 'all the celestial luminaries are bound by
aerial cords, and are made to travel in their proper orbits, being kept in
their places by their respective bands of air.' According to the Brah-
manda-p., from which, as quoted by K., the above account is taken, the
wind of the seventh Marga, causing the revolution of the polar-star, is
pardvdha [1 pardvalia]. All the Deva-n. MSS. read katarasmin for
katamasmin; sometimes katara is used for katama.

was this An Asura or Daitya (see p. 86, n. 2) named Bali or Mahabali,
a descendant of Hiranya-kasipu had, by his devotions, gained the dominion
of Heaven, Earth, and Patala. Vishnu undertook to trick him out ot
his power, and assuming the form of a Vamana, or dwarf (his fifth Avatara),
he appeared before the giant, and begged, as a boon, as much land as he
could pace in three steps. This was granted, and the god immediately
expanded himself till he filled the world, deprived Bali at the first step,
of earth ; at the second, of heaven ; but, in consideration of some merit,
left Patala still under his rule. Another account makes him comprehend

organs feels (a pleasurable) repose.' Cf. in Vikram. end of Act IV, tvad-

ternal and internal being,' ' my outer and inner man.' And again, UrvaSl-
gdtra-spartdd iva nirvritam me sa-hridayam iariram. The organs of
sense (indriya) according to the San-khya system are divided into two
classes, external, vdhyendriya ; and internal, antar-indriya. The external
are of two kinds : the five ' organs of perception,' jndnendriya, viz. the ear,
eye, skin, tongue, and nose ; and the five ' organs of action,' karmendriya,
viz. the throat, hand, foot, organ of excretion, and that of generation.
The internal organs are three, viz. manas, 'the mind,' or organ of thought;
buddhi, ' the reason,' or organ of apprehension ; ahan-kdra, ' individuality,'
or ' self-consciousness/ Citta, ' the heart,' or organ of feeling, is some-
times added. The Amara-k. (i. 4, 17) divides the Indriyas into two
grand classes : i. karmendriydni ; and 2. buddhlndriydni or dhmdriydni,
' intellectual organs ;' the latter comprises the jnanendriydni with manas ;
this seems to be the popular division. Cf. Vikram., Act III, bhavitavya-
tdnuvidhayini buddhlndriydni.
1 ' We have descended to the path of the clouds,' i. e. to the atmospheric
region between the sun and the earth, the Marga of the clouds and of the
Avaha wind (see p. 275, n. i). The chariot must, therefore, have traversed
with the speed of lightning, the four intervening MSrgas of the planets,
lunar constellations, moon, and sun. If the Beng. reading, pravahasya,
be adopted in the last verse, the transition would merely be from one
Marga to the next.

They are a dwarfish kind of monster, with the body of a man and the
head of a horse, and are otherwise called Kinnara (ava-mukha, turan-ga-

or fathers of all created things, who were Brahma's sons, created by him
to supply the universe with inhabitants, and who, after fulfiling their
mission, retired from the world to practise penance and prepare for death.
The VSyu-purana certainly reckons Kasyapa, with his father-in-law Daksha
and other sages, among the Prajapatis, but he does not belong to the seven
original Prajapatis of whom his father Marici is one, nor to the ten enume-
rated by Manu (i. 35). Of the thirteen daughters of Daksha married to
Kasyapa, the eldest, and his favourite wife, was the Aditi introduced here,
from whom were born the gods and particularly the twelve Adityas, the
several representatives of the sun in the twelve months of the year. From
Diti, Danu, and others of the remaining twelve, came the Asuras or demons ;

of this ascetic, that the ants had thrown up their mound as high as his
waist, without being disturbed, and the birds had built their nests in his
hair. Sandashta-s=aSlis7ita-nirmokena, cf. p. 120, n. 3. The serpent's

web, would bear some resemblance to an expanding lotus-flower, the
fingers answering to the long petals, which would be only separated
towards the top. This seems to be the sense : my first inclination was to
translate, ' having the fingers regularly marked with reticulated lines,' or
' having the fingers drawn together into (the form of) a bud.' Alakshya

is feminine. Thus in Eig-v. i. 46, i, Esho ushd apurvya vyucchati priya

cases from ushas, as jard from jaras ; nom. jard, jarasau, jarasah; instr.
jarasa, jardbhydm, jarabhih, &c. (see Gram. 171). The following is the
corrupt gloss of S'. : ushah-pratyushasi klwam pihaprasvdntu yoshatiti

durlabham Ipsitam yasya (S'.), ' difficult to be coaxed or pleased,' ' way-
ward,' 'naughty.' K. reads durlasitaya and interprets by dhurtaya,
' roguish,' ' mischievous.' The causal sense of the root lal is ' to coax,'
though dur-ldlita might then be expected. The primitive idea is certainly
that of ' sporting/ ' toying,' ' taking pleasure,' as in the root las. So in
Vikram., Act II, the king complains that his eye-sight has become durlali-

the beauties of Nature have no longer any charms for him ; upavana-

This celebrated tree seems to have paid dearly for the fragrance of its
wood: 'The root is infested by serpents; the blossoms by bees; the

Hindu poets are fond of alluding to the thrilling effect of the touch of a
child on the limbs of its parent, and vice versd. Compare the parallel
passages in the Vikram., Act V, and the following from the Maha-bh.,
Putra-spariat sukhatarah spario loke na vidyate. An-gdt, some MSS.,
including my own, have ankdt, 'from whose loins.' Kritinah-=.bha-

exercises. They first associated the Yuva-raja or heir-apparent with
themselves, and then left him in quiet possession of the throne.

tion. At the end of the eclipse, Rohim has been (again) brought to a

to ' Hail !' 'good luck !' corresponding to Shakespeare's 'Now fair befall
thee ! ' I have preferred to regard it here as an adverbial instr. case, ' by
the kindness of destiny,' ' fortunately,' ' happily.' Uparaga, the following
is the Hindu notion of eclipses : A certain demon, which had the tail of
a dragon, was decapitated by Vishnu at the churning of the ocean ; but,
as he had previously tasted of the Amrita or nectar reproduced at that
time, he was thereby rendered immortal, and his head and tail, retaining
their separate existence, were transferred to the stellar sphere. The head
was called Rahu, and became the cause of eclipses, by endeavouring, at
various times, to swallow the sun and moon. Rohinl, as to the love of
the Moon for Rohim, the fourth lunar constellation, see p. 113. n. i.

Jaya-idbda, the word ' Victory ! ' i. e. jayatu or vijayl bhava was the
regular form of saluting kings (cf. p. 65, n. 2). Asanskdram, so reads the
Taylor MS.; the others have asanskdra-p, which violates the usual caesura.
If the latter be retained, translate ' the skin of whose lips is pale red from
the absence of colouring or paint.' There is no doubt that unpainted lips
were a sign of mourning, but this is sufficiently implied in pdtaloshtJia,
and it is a question whether sanskdra can ever mean ' paint.' Some of
the Beng., and amongst them the old MS. (Bodleian, 233), supported by
S'. and Cf., read a-sanskaral loldlakam idam muTcham, ' this countenance,
having its curls hanging loosely from want of dressing.' Oshtha-puta,
( the covering of the lip ; ' so akshi-puta, ' the skin covering the eye,' ' the
eye-lid.' The student is reminded that in a compound, oshtTia optionally
causes the elision of a preceding a (Gram. 38. &). The Mackenzie MS. has
pataloshtham mukham priye.

the grandchildren of Brahma, they were only removed from him by Marici
and Daksha, their parents and his children (see p. 279, n. 3). Vishnu, as
Narayana, or the Supreme Spirit (purusha), moved over the waters before
the creation of the world, and from his navel came the lotus from which
BrahmS sprang. As Vishnu, or the Preserver, he became incarnate in
various forms, and chose Kasyapa and Aditi, from whom all human beings
were descended, as his medium of incarnation or place of birth, especially
in the Avatara in which he was called ' Upendra ' (or Indrdnuja, Indra-
varaja), 'Indra's younger brother' (according to some identified with
Krishna), and in his Vamana or Dwarf- Avatara (see p. 275, n. 2). Puru-
sha is properly ' that which sleeps or abides in the body' [pttrt iete\. The
worshippers of Vishnu identify him with Narayana and with Brahma,
and name him Maha-purusha, Purushottama, i. e. ' the Supreme Spirit,'
thus exalting him above Brahma, the Creator. Kalidasa seems by this

8 ' As if one were to say, " (that) is not an elephant," its form being
before one's eyes, and doubt were to arise (in one's mind) on its walking
past, but conviction were to take place after seeing its footsteps ; of such
a kind has been the change of my mind,' i. e. my mind has passed through
similar transitions. Thus, as K. observes, when Dushyanta first saw
S'akuntala, he repudiated her (see p. 200, 1. 2, and p. 201, 1. 4) ; when she
passed out of his presence, he began to relent and doubt (see verse 131) ;
and when he saw the ring, he was convinced she was his wife. Neti, see

of it the sacred mountain Meru or Sumeru, inhabited by the gods. About
Jambu flowed the sea of salt-water (lavana), which extends to the second
Dvlpa, called Plaksha, which is in its turn surrounded by a sea of sugar-
cane juice (ikshu). And so with the five other Dvipas, viz. S'almali, Kusa,
Kraunca, S'aka, and Pushkara, which are severally surrounded by the
seas of wine (sura), clarified butter (sarpis), curds (dadhi), milk (dugdTia),

The name Bharata is derived from root bhri, ' to bear,' ' support.' Many
Indian princes were so named, but the most celebrated was this son of
Dushyanta and Sakuntala, who so extended his empire that from him the
whole of India was called Bharata or Bharata-varsha ; and whose de-
scendants, the sons of Dhrita-rashtra and Pandu, by their quarrels, formed
the subject of the MahS-bharata (see p. 15, n. i).
' We invoke all blessings on him for whom the prescribed-rites were

1 'Is there any favour still greater than this? As (however) on this
occasion his Holiness desires to confer a favour, then let this saying of
Bharata be (fulfilled).' Atah param, i. e. adhikam. Atra praindrthe
kdkur anusandheyd, see p. 264, n. 2. The Bharata here intended must
not he confounded with the young prince. He was a holy sage, the
director or manager of the gods' dramas, and inventor of theatrical repre-
sentations in general. He wrote a work containing precepts and rules
relating to every branch of dramatic writing, which appears to have been
lost, but is constantly quoted by the commentators. He seems to have
superintended the exhibition of the drama called Lakshmi-svayamvara
(composed by Sarasvati, see p. 28, n. i) in Indra's heaven. See Vikram.,
Act III, and middle of Act II, Munind Bharatena yah prayogo bha-
vatisJiu ashta-rasdirayo nibaddhah, &c. It was not unusual to close the
plays by quoting one of Bharata's verses ; compare the conclusion of the
Ratnavali. The commentator supposes that there is here an intentional
ambiguity as to whether this verse is spoken in the name of the young
prince or of the sage.
2 'Let the king exert himself for the welfare of his subjects. Let
Sarasvati be honoured among (those who are) mighty in the scriptures
[lovers of literature]. Moreover, may the purple-god [S'iva], who-is-self-
existent, (and) whose-Energy-is-everywhere-diffused, put an end to my
future birth [deliver my soul from passing into another state of being].'
Pravartatdm=.prayatatdm. Sarasvati (=J3hdratl, K.) is the wife of the
god Brahma. She is the goddess of speech and eloquence, patroness of
the arts and sciences, and inventress of the Sanskrit language. Sara-
svati signifies ' flowing,' and is also applied to a river. Sruti-mahatdm, &c.,
some MSS. have iruti-mahatl mahiyasdm; K. iruta-mahatdm. According
to the latter, ruta=6astra, mahatdm= reshthdnam. I see no reason why
mahatdm should not be the gen. pi. of the pres. part, regularly formed
from mah, 'to honour.' S'ruti-maJiatdm might then mean 'lovers of
literature.' Mdhlyatdm=pujyatdm, K. Nlla-loMtdh, 'blue and red;'

left side blue, on the right side red.' S'iva is usually represented as borne
on a bull, his colour, as well as that of the animal he rides, being white,
to denote the purity of Justice over which he presides. In his destroying
capacity, he is characterized by the quality tamas (see p. 301, n. i) and
named Rudra, Kala, &c., when his colour is said to be purple or black.
' In the beginning of the Kalpa, as Brahma purposed to create a son, a
youth of purple complexion [blue and red, nlla lohita] appeared, crying
and running about [ru, dru, whence Rudra],' Vishnu-p. p. 58. Some
refer this name to the colour of his throat (see p. 257, n. 2). Parigata-
iaktih; prdptd Saktih Pdrvatl yena sa tathoktah. Hence, Sakti=Pdrvatl,
S'iva's wife. The wives of the deities were supposed to personify their
energy or active power. Atma-bhu, although properly a name of BrahmS,
is applied equally to Vishnu and S'iva by those who give the preference
to these deities. Exemption from further transmigration and absorption
into the divine Soul is the summum bonum of Hindu philosophy (cf.
p. 184, n. 3 at the end). Kalidasa indulges the religious predilections of
his fellow-townsmen by beginning and ending the play with a prayer to
S'iva, who had a large temple in Ujjayim, the city of king Vikramaditya,
and abode of the poet. Both actors and spectators would probably repeat
the prayer after the speaker and appropriate it to themselves.
