Professor Bühler's Remarks

Some other classes of books deserve the particular attention of Oriental scholars, as they contain large and important additions to the hitherto known stock. Firstly, amongst the dramatic compositions we find no less than eighteen titles of new plays, most of which even were not known to exist. I here give these titles in alphabetical order and as spelt by Mr. Taylor:—

1. Ananga Brimhavidyavilásam (read Brahmavilâsa) Cat. R. vol. II, p. 363.

2. Ananta jîvanam by Atreya-Varata(?)-cavi I, 82.

3. Jagan móhana (fragment) II, 43.

4. Camalina Calahamsa II, 362.

5. Lacshmi-svayamvaram (read Laxmîsvayamvara) by Srînivása Cavi I, 81.

6. Misra bhánam (read Miçabhâṇa ?) by Gunda Ráma, II, 363.

7. Mucundánanda bhánam (read Mukuṇḍânanda bhâṇa) by Mucundânanda II, 359 or according to II, 363, 368 by Cási pati (read Kâçîpati.)[1]

8. Naracâsura vyáyoga by Dherma cya vidhuvan(?) I, 12 or according to II, 42, 360 Dhermasuri(?)

9. Nágánanta (read Nâgânanda) by Srí-Harisha (Çri-Harsha) I, p. 82.

10. Náráyani-vilása nátacam(?) I, 81.

11. Prahasnam (read Prahasanam) II, 360. The true title is probably left out, as Prahasana is the name of a class of dramatic compositions.

12. Prasanna Rághavam by Jaya déva, I, 82,11, 43, 359, 360, 401.

13. Ranga nát’ha prahasnam (read prahasanam) by Ranganát’ha, II, 368.

  1. A copy which lately came into my hands shows that it was composed by Kaâçîpati.
