Читать книгу The Lady of the Jewel Necklace & The Lady who Shows her Love - Harsha - Страница 51

Textual Details

Basically, I have used Moreshvan Ramchandra Kale’s edition throughout, and made use of Kale’s English and Sanskrit commentaries. There is no critical edition of this text, but Kale uses a number of different mss and published texts, and explains each of his editorial choices. The arguments he makes for editing as he has done are in general convincing and, in any case, always consistent. The main place I differed was in including the fifth verse of the benediction of ‘The Lady of the Jewel Necklace,’ which seems to me to belong here and in any case is a lovely verse. I have also used some readings that he has rejected (and have always indicated when this is the case) and queried one line in ‘The Lady of the Jewel Necklace,’ “You’ll have cause to remember your words . . . ” at 3.77. I have, however, also consulted several other editions (see Bibliography), primarily in order to use their commentaries, particularly the commentaries in the editions by Asoknath Bhattacharya and Devendra Misra.
