¹ Cf. Pischel, HL, p. 19 ff. Editions: Gita Givinda, Jayadevae Poetae Indici drama lyricum. Taxtum ... recognovit ... interpretationem latinam adjectit C. Lassen, Bonnae ad Rh. 1836. The Gīta-Govinda of Jayadeva with the Commentries Rasikapriyā of King Kumbha and Rasamañjarī of Mahāmahopādhyāya Śaṅkaramiśra. Ed. M. R. Telang and W. L. S. Paṇsīkar, 3rd Ed., Bombay 1910, NSP. An English translation by W. Jones had already appeared in the Asiatic Researches, 3, 184ff. The lastnamed one gave rise to the German rendering by F. H. v. Dalberg. (Erfurt 1802), F. Majer (in the Asiat. Magazin II, 294 ff.) and A. W. Riemenschneider (Halle 1818). A German translation by F. Rückert (first of all made in 1829 according to a Calcutta impression and then recast according to Lassen's edition) appeared in Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes I, Göttingen 1837, p. 128 ff., (in addition to philological notes, p. 286 ff.) also in Rückert-Nachlese I, 346 ff. Recently it has been published in the Insel-Bücherei No. 303 The work, that has appeared under the title "Frühlingsliebe von Reinhard Wogen leicht übersetzt aus dem indischen Gitagowinda des Dschajadewa" Halle a. S. 1911, is worthless. The best representation of the original is given by the French translation by G. Courtillier (avec une préface de S. Lévi, Paris 1904). On the large number of commentaries on the Gītagovinda see Ind. Off. Cat. VII, p. 1454 ff. [Translated into Dutch by B. Faddegon, Santpoovt 1932. See Keith, HSL, 190 ff.; S. K. De, HSL, p. 388ff.: Eng. transl. by Edwin Arnold. The Indian Song of Songs, London 1875; French transl. also by H. Fouché, Paris 1850.]
