Śṛṅgāraprakāśa of Bhoja (Harvard Oriental Series)
Summary
This edition is based on new manuscripts of this important treatise on classical Sanskrit poetics. It was composed by the famous eleventh-century King Bhoja of Malwa (West India), a patron of traditional learning.
The text has never received a complete critical edition. It is important not only because of the theoretical treatment of the erotic sentiment ( śṛṅgāra ) in classical Sanskrit texts. It is also a mine of quotations from extant and also from lost Sanskrit and Prakrit poetical texts.
