About The Book: "Vikramorvasi: An Indian Drama" is presented as an English prose translation of Kalidasa's original Sanskrit play. The primary objective of the translator was to create a direct rendition for Sanskrit learners, prioritizing faithfulness to the source text over ornate language. Kalidasa, renowned for works like "Sakuntala," is recognized for his polished writing and vivid character and scenery depictions. Notably, in the Fourth Act, the drama incorporates Prakrit, a dialect, in an artistically unique manner, signifying the protagonist's deviation from the conventional heroism ideal. While adhering to Mr. Monier-Williams' edition, the translator cross-referenced other sources and interpretations for precision. The translation simplifies stage directions, omitting the term "gesticulation," focusing on capturing the performance's essence without delving into technicalities. The title "Vikramorvasi" offers multiple interpretations, as scholars propose different meanings.
