Description

Book Synopsis
Kalidasa’s The Lineage of the Raghus, or Raghuvaṃśa, belongs to the literary tradition of mahākāvya, or court poem. It recounts the lives of ancient kings—such as Dilipa, Raghu, and Rama—who ruled from the capital city of Ayodhya. This volume presents a new edition of the Sanskrit text in the Devanagari script alongside a fresh English translation.

Trade Review
A fine edition that should appeal both to the serious Sanskrit reader and the more casually interested English-speaking one. -- M.A. Orthofer * Complete Review *
