Preface
Of the invention and antiquity of the "ΜΛΗΣ-NATAKA," the late Sir William Jones says in his preface to the "Sakuntala-Nataka," that "the first Sanskrit verse ever heard by mortals was pronounced in a burst of resentment by the great VALMIC, who flourished in the silver age of the world, and was author of an epic poem on the wars of his cotempo-rary, RAMA, a king of Ayodhya; so that no drama in verse could have been represented before his time, and the Indians have a wild story, that the first re-gular play, on the same subject with Ramayana, was composed by HANÚMUT OF PAVAN, who commanded an army of Satyrs or Mountaineers in Rúma's expedition against Lanká: they add, that he engraved it on a smooth rock, which, being dissatisfied with his composition, he hurled into the sea; and that, many years after, a learned prince ordered expert divers to take impressions of the poem on wax, by which means the drama was in great measure restored. By whomsoever or in whatever age this species of entertainment was invented, it is very certain, that it was carried to great perfection in its kind, when VICRAMADITYA, Who reigned in the first century be-fore CHRIST, gave encouragement to poets, philologers, and mathematicians.
