Rudrata's Crngaratilaka and Ruyyaka's Sahrdayalila. With an Introd. and Notes. Edited by R. Pischel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781177602266)

This volume presents Richard Pischel's edition of two significant works in Sanskrit poetics: Rudrata's "Crngaratilaka" and Ruyyaka's "Sahrdayalila." These texts offer valuable insights into the classical Indian understanding of aesthetics, literary theory, and the art of poetry. The edition includes an introduction and detailed notes by Pischel, enhancing the accessibility and understanding of these complex works for scholars and students of Sanskrit literature.

"Crngaratilaka" focuses on the principles of ornamentation and the expression of sentiment in poetry, while "Sahrdayalila" explores the appreciation and enjoyment of literature by the discerning reader (sahrdaya). Together, these texts provide a comprehensive view of classical Indian literary criticism and its enduring influence.
