It is one of the few Sanskrit works written in prose, but its style is so studied and elaborate that it is classed as a Kāvya or poem. The tales are stories of common life, and display a low condition of morals and a corrupt state of society. The text has been printed with a long analytical introduction by H. H. Wilson, and again in Bombay by Bühler. There is an abridged translation by Jacobs, also a translation in French by Fauche, and a longer analysis in vol. iv. of Wilson’s works. - [Previous: c5.446](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.446) - [Next: c5.448](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.448) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) ## Cites (1) - [Daśakumāracarita](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.novels.prasiddha.dasakumaracarita) — Daṇḍin, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.447](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.447) · Pramāṇa
