Mṛgāṅkalekhā

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Author: Viśvanāthadeva
Title: Mṛgāṅkalekhā

A drama (Nāṭikā).

The author was the son of Trimaladeva.

This Ms. is a modern copy from Surat. The original was dated fol. 40: saṃvat 1679 samaye phālgunaśuklapañcamyāmalekhi svārthaṃ parārthamiti mṛgāñkalekhānāṭaka |

The copy is very inaccurate and a good deal corrected. It is written on one side of each leaf only.

The work is analysed by Wilson, Hindu Theatre, ii.391, 392; cf. also Calcutta Sansk. Coll. Catal., vi. 152, which seems to be based on Wilson's account. The influence of Ratnāvalī is clearly overpowering. Cf. Konow, Das indische Drama, p. 113.
