Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Select Specimens of the Theatre of the Hindus, Vol. 3: Translated From the Original Sanscrit; Contents, Mudra Rakshasa; Retnavali; Appendix
Simple as is the subject of the Drama there is no want of action in its development. The stratagems of Clarinukya are varied, numerous and well connected, and although there is occasionally some want of probability in their exe cution, yet they are made to contribute very successfully and ingeniously towards the production of their combined result. It must be acknowledged, that the political code from which they emanate, exhibits a morality not a whit su. Perior to that of the Italian school, but a remarkable, and in some respects a redeeming principle, is the inviolable and devoted fidelity, which appears as the uniform characteristic of servants, emissaries and friends; a singular feature in the Hindu character which it has still not wholly lost.
