The *Ratnāvalī* and the *Priyadarçikā* are closely connected both in subject-matter and form; they are Nāṭikās, each in four Acts; their common hero is Udayana, whom Bhāsa already celebrated, and the common theme one of his numerous amourettes. The *Ratnāvalī*,⁴ in special, has found favour in the text-books of the drama, and has served to illustrate the technical rules.
