Presumably it was engraved from a tracing of the original. Similar facsimile royal signatures frequently occur in Mysore inscriptions (\*A. S. Prog. Rep.\*, 1911–12, para. 109, &c.). For the plays see Wilson, \*Hindu Theatre\*; Sylvain Lévi, \*Théâtre Indien\*; and Boyd's translation of the \*Nāgānanda\*. For royal authors see \*Ind. Ant.\*, xx, 201. Ettinghausen discusses the literary history of Harsha's reign in chapter iii of his work. - [Previous: c30.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30.50) - [Next: c30.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30.52) - [Up: c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30) ## Linked texts (2) - [Nāgānanda](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda) — Harṣavardhana, Sanskrit - [Indian Antiquary](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.corpora.ia) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30.51) · Pramāṇa
