To bring the subject-matter within the limits of a single volume has rendered it necessary to treat the scientific literature briefly, and to avoid discussions of its subject-matter which appertains rather to the historian of grammar, philosophy, law, medicine, astronomy, or mathematics, than to the literary historian. The mode of treatment has rendered it possible, for the first time in any treatise in English on Sanskrit Literature, to pay due attention to the literary qualities of the Kavya.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is in the great writers of Kavya along, headed by Kalidasa that we find an in-depth feeling for life and nature matched with perfection of expression and rhythm. The Kavya literature includes some of the great poetry of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contents include: The Origin of Sanskrit, the Origin and Development of Kavya Literature, Kalidasa, Bharavi, Historical Kavya, Lyric Poetry, the Didactic Fables, the Brhatkatha, the Great Romances, Theories of Poetry, Lexicography and Matrices, the Beginnings of Grammatical Study, Dharmasastras, the Science of Politics, Philosophy and Religion, Medicine, Astronomy, Astrology and Mathematics and many more topics of vital interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eKumaralata and the early Kavya, Sanskrit, and Prakrit\u003cbr\u003eKalidasa’s Date and Place of Birth\u003cbr\u003eGreek and Indian Fables\u003cbr\u003eThe Dramas of Bhasa\u003cbr\u003eDandin and the Avantisundarikatha\u003cbr\u003eThe Authenticity of the Arthacastra\u003cbr\u003eThe Dates of the Philosophical Systems\u003cbr\u003eMedical Fragments from Turkestan\u003cbr\u003eThe Indian Origin of the Numerals\u003cbr\u003eSanskrit as a vernacular\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I – THE LANGUAGE\u003cbr\u003eI.\tSanskrit, Prakrit, and Apabhranca.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART II – BELLES – LETTRES AND POETICS\u003cbr\u003eII.\tThe Origin and Development of Kavya Literature\u003cbr\u003eIII.\tAevaghosa and Early Buddhist Kavya\u003cbr\u003eIV.\tKalidasa and the Guptas\u003cbr\u003eV.\tBharavi, Bhatti, Kumaradasa, and Magha\u003cbr\u003eVI.\tThe Lesser Epic Poets\u003cbr\u003eVII.\tHistorical Kavya\u003cbr\u003eVIII.\tBhartrhari, Amaru, Bilhana, and Jayadeva\u003cbr\u003eIX.\tLyric Poetry and the Anthologies\u003cbr\u003eX.\tGnomic and Didactic Poetry\u003cbr\u003eXI.\tThe Didactic Fable\u003cbr\u003eXII.\tThe Brhatkatha and its Descendants\u003cbr\u003eXIII.\tThe Romantic and the Didactic Tale\u003cbr\u003eXIV.\tThe Great Romances\u003cbr\u003eXV.\tThe later Romances and the Campus\u003cbr\u003eXVI.\tThe Aims and Achievement of Sanskrit Poetry\u003cbr\u003eXVII.\tThe West and Indian Literature\u003cbr\u003eXVIII.\tTheories of Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART III – SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE\u003cbr\u003eXIX.\tThe Origin and Characteristics of the Scientific Literature\u003cbr\u003eXX.\tLexicography and Metrics\u003cbr\u003eXXI.\tGrammar\u003cbr\u003eXXII.\tCivil and Religious Law (Dharmacastra)\u003cbr\u003eXXIII.\tThe Science of Politics and Practical Life (Artha-castra, Niticastra)\u003cbr\u003eXXIV.\tThe Science of Love (Kamacastra)\u003cbr\u003eXXV.\tPhilosophy and Religion\u003cbr\u003eXXVI.\tMedicine\u003cbr\u003eXXVII.\tAstronomy, Astrology, and Mathematics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Index\u003cbr\u003eSanskrit Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Arthur Berriedale Keith \/ Motilal Banarsidass \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153547555184,"sku":"25667","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/25667.jpg?v=1793911007","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/a-history-of-sanskrit-literature-english-sanskrit","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
