TEXT OF THE PLAY.

The translation follows the text of the Devanagari recension, as edited by Mr. M. R. Kale of Bombay. The words or passages within brackets [] are from the Bengal recension, as edited by Prof. R. Pischel of Kiel. Words or passages found in the Devanagari recension alone are marked [D].

The directions within brackets [] as to time, place and action at the beginning of each Act, as to the interval between Acts or between a Prelude or Induction and an Act, and as to the arrangement of scenes within the Acts, are entirely the translator's own.
