c13.78

In the vast range of Sanskrit literature, historical compositions, though not altogether absent as was supposed for long, are rather few in number. They throw a good deal of light on the working of institutions. But for political theory they are disappointing. Again they are, with the exception of Bâṇa's Harṣacharita, rather late and belong to the very close of the Ancient Age.
