--: Natya-Manjari-Saurabha: Sanskrit Dramatic Theory
SANSKRIT AND ENGLISH
602
Foreword
With the publication of the Natya-Manjari-Saurabha, which is a worthy sequel to the Bharata-Natya-Manjari, the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute has the satisfaction of having made available to all serious students of dramaturgy a veritable compendium on Sanskrit Natysastra. The Institute also has the further satisfaction of having hereby fulfilled all its publication-commitments announced for the Diamond Jubilee.
Professor G. K. BHAT initiated this research-project on Sanskrit Natyasatra while he had been working at the Institute as Curator and Director of the Post-Graduate and Research Department. The first volume in the project, the Bharata-Mitya-Manjari, was published in 1975, and I am glad to be able to report that it has been received with appreciative enthusiasm by all those for whom it was primarily intended. I was personally keen on seeing that the second volume also was published during Professor BHAT's tenure of Directorship. Indeed, we had duly announced it as one of the prospective Diamond Jubilee publications. But what with one thing and another, its publication has been delayed till now. I am, however, not sure whether this inevitable delay has not conduced to the present volume becoming more comprehensive and substantial.
I take this opportunity of expressing on behalf of the Institute my sincere thanks to Professor BHAT for this highly laudable piece of work. Professor BHAT has formally retired from the service of the Institute, but I hope and trust that his academic association with the Institute will by no means cease on that account.
