About the author

After his earlier education, Devkinandan Khatri moved to Tekari Estate in Gaya. He became an employee of the Raja of Benares. He started a printing press called "Lahari" and started a Hindi monthly, "Sudarshan", in 1898. The various works of Khatri and his son Durga Prasad were republished by Lahari Press in the early 21st century. Lahari Press is still in existence in Ramkatora (Pisnahariya Kuwan)very close to area called Lahurabeer in Varanasi.

Khatri made a strong contribution to the learning of the Hindi language by the people of the times. People were so mesmerised by the works Chandrakanta, Chandrakanta Santati and Bhootnath that they started to learn Hindi just to be able to read the works. Khatri did not write any work at one go and then publish the same. He used to write "bayaans" - chapters - on the run from the British and these were published and distributed widely. People would await the new "bayaans" and congregate around those who could read Hindi to hear the latest exploits in the continuing saga.

किताब पीडीएफ फॉर्मेट में डाऊनलोड की थी, जो कि मात्र तीन भाग में है जबकि वास्तविक पुस्तक संभवतः छः भागो में है।
लेकिन, चन्द्रकान्ता संतति की भाँति यह किताब भी बहुत रोचक ढंग से लिखी गयी।

If you want to enjoy this novel, get your hands on a copy which doesn't have printing/typing errors. The one I read was filled with mistakes on every page, seems nobody took any pains to proof read the draft. I even sent an email about this to the publisher, but nobody responded. K
Moreover, please read chandrakanta and chandrakanta santati by the same author before reading this one.
Coming to the story, it ended abruptly, without any conclusion, that's what I felt.
This 1 star is only because of the poor print quality.

[Mukesh Kumar · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun to start and in the middle. But gets really repetitive and tough to follow.
Interesting language used keeps you hooked somewhat.
