Notes on the Sanskrit Drama

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 December 2009

Extract

The fate of Bhāsa has been an unhappy one; long but little more than a name, his dramas have now been rescued from oblivion only to become the object of an energetic attack, which assures us that they are compilations and adaptations made for the stage of Kerala not earlier than the eighth century A.D., derived to some unknown extent from the works of Bhāsa. which, however, are now lost.
