The Lokaprakasa by well-known Kashmirian author Ksemendra (fl. 1050
CE) is a unique Sanskrit text that deals with details of public
administration, from the king down to the village level. It
includes private sale and mortgage documents as well as marriage
contracts-documents that are little attested outside medieval
Kashmir. In the first decade of the 20th century, famous explorer
and Kashmiri specialist Sir M. Aurel Stein asked his friend,
learned Kashmiri Pandit Sahaja Bhatta, to prepare an edition of
this significant text with commentary explaining many otherwise
obscure terms. The manuscript was originally projected to be
published by Stein and Charles Lanman in the early 1930s, in a
facsimile edition. Long lost, the manuscript has been recovered in
the Societe Asiatique in Paris and is now published here. The text
fills a large gap in our knowledge of private life and public
administration in medieval India and will greatly interest
Sanskritists and historians alike.
