A History of Indian Literature v3.c35.s7.28

v3.c35.s7.28

¹ The first critical edition we owe to M.A. Stein (Bombay 1892), from whom we have also a complete English translation with valuable annextures (Introduction, Notes, Appendices) which have brought the importance of the work for history, geography and ethnography of Kashmir, into the correct clear light (Westminster 1900, 2 vols.). Cf. Winternitz, WZKM 16, 1902, 405 ff.; Oldenberg, Aus dem alten Indien, Berlin 1910, 81 ff., Marie Von Bunsen in “Nord und Sud” 1915, 327 ff. On Kalhaṇa’s importance as an historian see Buhler, Report 52 ff.; LXVI ff., where the earlier writings of N. H. Wilson, A. Cunningham, Ch. Lassen, and A. Troyer have been evaluated and Shankar Pandit, Gauḍavaho, Introd, p. CLXI ff. E. Hultzsch, Ind. Ant. 18, 1889, 65 ff., 97 ff. gives extracts with translation from book I and in Ind. Ant. 40, 1911, 97 ff.; 42, 1913, 301 ff. and ZDMG 69, 1915, 129 ff. he has made contribution towards its textual criticism. Stein’s edition has superceded all other editions, including the one of Durgāprasāda BSS No. 35, 51, 54; [vol. (I-VII), vol. 2 (VIII), vol. 3 (Supplements of Jonarāja, Śrīvara and Prājyabhaṭṭa, 1892, 1894, 1896. The editio princeps with three supplements was published by the Asiatic Society of the Bengal, Calcutta, 1835.]
