This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 194 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.4in.From the Preface: A WORD of explanation is due to the Reader of the following Tales of the Pandaus. They have no claim whatever to be considered exact reproductions of Hindu fable, as they have in fact little or no foundation in legend or chronicle. The main thread of each is purely imaginary; though a certain veri-similitude to recorded quasi- historical legend has been observed throughout the work. The heroes of the Mahabarat, selected as representative champions in the following Tales of the Pandaus, are: (1) Yudishtira called also Dharm-raja, the Just King he was Lord of Indra-prastha (ancient Delhi). His name is derived from the Sanskrit word Yudhi, battle, and sthira, unflinching in the fight. He was eldest and perhaps the most interesting character of the five heroic brethren. (2) Bhim-sen or Bhima, the Strong one. He was commander-in-chief of the Pandau armies. (3) Arjuna, the Valiant Lord of the Sounding Bow a most interesting character. The friend and ally of Krishna. (4) Nakoola, the Wise one; sometimes called Nizkoola. (5) Sahadeva or Sediva, the Handsome man. The five brethren are sometimes represented as types of the abstract qualities for which they were respectively distinguished. The five stories are reproduced in the order in which they were written: one of them only (Sediva) has previously appeared in print. These stories do not aspire to serve any moral purpose: they were written simply to amusefellow-travellers; mostly at the localities introduced in each story. No. I. was mostly written in camp during one long summers night in the forest of Kujjear in Chumba, which forms part of its theatre of action; Nos. II. and III. were also written whilst travelling in the mountain districts of the Himalayas they respectively represent, and where of course reference to classic authorities was impossible; hence certain slight inaccuracies, in allusions to classic subjects, may have crept in, and might be detected by an exact scholar; a few of such, however, have been corrected on revision. Nos. IV. and V. , though also sketched whilst travelling in the localities mentioned, have slightly more claim to accuracy of reference, and though solely imaginary owe something to consultation of such works as the Ramayana, the Mahabarat, the Harivansa, Hitopadesa, and c. , and other Sanskrit chronicles. The sequel also (No. VI. to the end) The Wars of the Pandaus, and c. , and c. , may from similar causes evince more of the lamp in their composition, as acknowledged further on in the work by the Wandering Cimmerian. The Author would, however, respectfully deprecate learned criticism of these trivial Tales, written, as they wore, simply to amuse. It will be observed, in the course of the work, that certain minor deities of the Hindu Pantheon have been pressed into the service as leading characters in several of the stories. Here again the Author would emphatically disclaim any of the slightest wish to cast- ridicule on the Hindu religion, in its purity, as enunciated in the early vedas of the old monotheistic Aryan age ; though he believes that in its more modern corrupt and idolatrous form, as vitiated by priestcraft, it may present legitimate objects of laughter. Such characters as Krishna, Hanuman, and c. regarded by some Hindu schools of theology as emanations of Deity may surely serve as vehicles of jest and laughter; and the Author confesses that during a long association with representatives of these cults, he has at times felt his sense of ridicule.
