This lyrical drama was written about twenty-five years ago. It is
based on the following story from the Mahab-harata. In the course
of his wanderings, in fulfilment of a vow of penance, Arjuna came
to Manipur. There he saw Chitrangada, the beautiful daughter of
Chitravahana, the king of the country. Smijten with her charms, he
asked the king for the hand of his daughter in marriage.
Chitravahana asked him who he was, and learning that he was Arjuna
the Pandara, told him that Prabhanjana, one of his ancestors in the
kingly line of Manipur, had long been childless. In order to obtain
an heir, he performed severe penances. Pleased with these
austerities, the god Shiva gave him this boon, that he and his
successors should each have one child. It so happened that the
promised child had invariably been a son. He, Chitravahana, was the
first to have only a daughter Chitrangada to perpetuate the race.
He. had, therefore, always treated her as a son and had made her
his heir. Continuing, the king said: "The one son that will be bom
to her must be the perpetuator of my race. That son will be the
price that I shall demand for this marriage. You can take her, if
you like, on this condition." Arjuna promised and took Chitrangada
to wife, and lived in her father's capital for three years. When a
son was born to them, he embraced her with aflFeetion, and taking
leave of her and her father, set out again on his travels.

Set on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, this is both a love story
and a novel of political awakening. The central character, Bimala,
is torn between the duties owed to her husband, Nikhil, and the
demands made on her by the radical leader, Sandip. Her attempts to
resolve the irreconciliable pressures of the home and world reflect
the conflict in India itself, and the tragic outcome foreshadows
the unrest that accompanied Partition in 1947.

The poet Kablr, a selection from whose songs is here for the first
time offered to English readers, is one of the most interesting
personalities in the history of I ndian mysticism. Born in or near
Benares, of Mohammedan parents, and probably about the year 1440,
he became in early life a disciple of the celebrated Hindu ascetic
Ramananda. Ramananda had brought to Northern India the religious
revival which Ramanuja, the great twelfth-century reformer of
Brahmanism, had initiated in the South...
