Description:
This book presents a critical English translation of Setubandha (or Ravanavaho), a fifth-century Prakrit Mahakavya (epic poem) by Pravarasena. Setubandha holds a unique place in Indian literary traditions, significantly influencing later Sanskrit poets like Bharavi and Magha.
Professor K.K. Handiqui’s meticulous translation is accompanied by a detailed introduction and extensive notes, making it one of the most comprehensive works on Prakrit epics. This edition provides:
- The original Setubandha text in Prakrit,
- A Sanskrit Chaya (paraphrase),
- A complete English translation with critical analysis.
Handiqui’s translation not only clarifies the meanings and poetic expressions of Pravarasena but also incorporates insights from various Sanskrit commentaries. This scholarly work is an essential resource for researchers, students, and enthusiasts of Sanskrit and Prakrit literature, offering deep insights into the development of Kavya poetry after Kalidasa.
