Complete text of Dasakkumara Charitam authored by renowned Sanskrit poet Dandi with Sanskrit Commentary Various Readings, a Literal English Translation, Explanatory and Critical Notes and an Exhaustive Introduction by M. R. Kale.

The Dasakumaracarita relates the adventures of ten princes in their pursuit of love and royal power. It contains stories of common life and reflects a faithful picture of Indian society during the period couched in the colourful style of Sanskrit prose.

Dandin was a renowned Sanskrit author of prose romances and expounder on poetics. Although he produced literature on his own, most notably the Dasakumaracarita, first translated in 1927 as Hindoo Tales, or The Adventures of the Ten Princes, he is best known for composing the Kavyadarsa (‘Mirror of Poetry’), the handbook of classical Sanskrit poetics, or Kavya. His writings were all in Sanskrit. He lived in Kanchipuram in modern-day Tamil Nadu in 6th-7th century. A shloka that explains the strengths of different poets says: Dandinah padalalithyam (“Dandin is the master of playful words”).

    A delightful work of romance ,depicting some of the beliefs and mode of living
    of India in the early middle ages as they pass through the prism of Dandi’s imagination.

    It a real pleasure to read our Indian books and to learn more about our culture.Thanks to your hardwork.

  17. Kavirdandi was prescribed in my course in Sanskrit, which was one of the papers in M.A. Hindi. But, as the prescribed book was not available at that time in the markets, I had to leave Javirdandi’s
    related questions.But, I want to read Dandu”s Dash Kumar Charit.

  18. S.Ardhanariswaran says:

    A great help for a person who has taken serious study of Sanskrit. An eye opener for those who thinks Sansrit is alien to Tamilnadu.Establishes the fact Snskrit is a National Language from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

  19. to,
    Whom so ever it may concern

    I wish to read Dasakumara Charitam and other available Sanskrit works.
