·INTRODUCTION The Pratijñā-Yaugandharāyana, as the name itself indicates, narrates how the minister Yaugandharāyana enabled his king to escape from captivity and elope with Vāsavadattā, the daughter of his enemy, Mahāsena, the King of Ujjayini The play very probably derives its plot from the original Brhathathā of Gunādhya in Paišācı of which three versions exist, of these, the Kāśmirian version, the Kathāsarıtsāgara is claimed by its author as faithfully preserving the original The story is found in the EERIT,III-IV Tarangas The ruse with the famous artificial elephant is there the schern ing and plotting of the two ministers Yaugandharayana and Vasantaha in the disguises of a madman and a Jesting beggar, and the escape on the she-elephant Bhadravatı Yet the differences are many and ssential details too Of minor differences may be inentioned the fact that only two ministers went to Ujjayini, while Rumanı at stayed bebind to look after the kingdom, whereas in the drama all three ministers go to Ujjayını In the play, Draipājana appears in the Rājakula, and after pronouncing blessings on the royal famıly, vanishes mysteriouly, leaving behind his garb of a madman from which Yaugandharāyana takes his cue ; in the Kathā, however, Yaugandharāj ana, after going to Pulindaha the king of foresters and an ally of Vatsaraja, camps a vast army under him, and then proceeding to the cemetery.ground of Ujjayını, meets a friendly Brahmarāksasa, Yogeśvara by name, who teaches him the magic art of changing his form as he lihed. There is no reference in the story to the intrigue of Yaugandharāyana of his fight and taptivity and of his ultimate release by Mahāsena, as in the play. The scheme is simple, the rider 9717164 of the ·. she-elephant #raft was to le bribed, the chief of the Mahuts was to be rhed with nine , and then at night, the king who was in the palace gaun music-lessons to Vása12. datti, was to escape with her on Bhadravati and make for thc camp of his army in the forest, where Yaugandhariyana would be awaiting his arral It is beliesed that the scene of the aritifici clephant was criticised by Bhāmalia as incredible But it is not clear if this scene was the subject of the criticism and there is at any rate nothing to present the conjecture that the criticism may have been directed against the Brhat. kathi and its versions. The paesage in question runs thus विजिगीपुमुपायम्य वरसेनं वृद्धदर्शनम् । नस्यैव कृतिनः पवादभ्यदाचारयन्यताम् ।। अन्तयाँधशतासीय शारडायननेतृपम् । तथाविधं गजरा नानासीत् म स्वभुगतम् ।। यदि वोपेक्षितं नस्य मचियः सामिदये। अहो नु मन्दिमा तेरा भनिगं नास्ति भर्तरि ।। सारा धनुर्मुना मन्युमदिरातिभिः । मर्माणि परिहत्याम्य पतिप्यन्नीनि कानुमा । हतोऽनेन मम भ्राता मम पुत्र पिता मम । मानुली भाग्नेियश पा सरन्यवतम.॥ अस्यन्तो विविधा यातायायुधान्यपराधिनम् । एकाकिनमरण्यान्या न हन्युहवः वयम् ॥ नमोस्तु तेभ्यो विदूनगो येऽभिमायं कवेरिमम् । शास्सरोकावास्येव नयन्ति नयवादिनः ।। संचेतसो बनेमस्य धमणा निर्मितस्य च । विशेष वेद यारोऽपि कष्टं कि नु कयं नु सत् ।।

·There is no doubt that the प्राकृत passage अणेग मम भादा हदो, अणेग मम पिदा, अणेग मम सुदो has its echo in हतोऽनेन मम WAT HA TI. fat i Il but that is not enough for if this is a quotation by HAE from Pratijna as Ganapatiśāstri asserts, then the second line, too, viz HITTI HT etc ought to be regarded as a quotation--which however is not found in the Pratina Other objections against the view that Bhåmaha had the Pratijñā in his mind are (1) Bhāmaha states that the king was alone, unaccompanied by spies are altrait-this is however not so in Pratijia where the king is accompanied by twenty soldiers विशतिमात्रैः पदातिभि सह प्रयातो स्वामी। (11) It is not true that the ministers, for some reason of their own, did not inform the king of the enemy's device-TUTE THOT le aliena at A स्वार्थसिद्धये। As a matter of fact, Yaugandharāyana who had learnt of the trick, was on the point of setiding Salaka to warn the king of the danger, when Hamsaka arrives with the news of the king's capture (111) There is no descrip- 10n of warriors shooting arrows शराः दृढधनुमुक्ता मन्युमद्भि Ciara) So that it is clear that Bhāmaha has come other work in mind rather than our play It is interesting to note that Vatsarāja and Väsavadaitā, the hero and the heroine, never appear at all on the stage: But this is not surprising, as the vows of Yaugandharāyana form the subject-matter of the play, so that Yaugandharayana and his strategy naturally come to the fore, while the lovers stand in the background, although we seem to know them intimately enough through report by others With regard to the meeting of the lovers, the version given by the dramatist differs from the well-known version. In Act II the conversation of the king and the queen about their daughter seems to lead up to the traditional incident of the music-lesson, in which Udayana, seated behind a ·(111) curtain as a music-teacher, scolds his fair pupil, and when taunted by her, lifts the curtain and sees her in all her ravishing charms for the first time When the queen requests that a teacher may be engaged for giving music-lessons to Vásay adattā, the king replies What does she want a teacher for, now when she is about to be married ? Her husband will teach her" lhe audienre naturally think of Vatsaraja as the teacher and the husband Later when the lute Ghosavatı was brought, the king sent it to Yasavadatta The king's attitude towards Vatsaraja changes his heart oftens towards him and he orders that the captive is to be treated with every consideration We, however, find in Act III that Vatsarāja is in prison not in the palace as in Act 11-his chains clank as he bows before the gods The princess Vasavadattā goes in an open palanquin to worship at a shrine opposite the prisongate, and as the falanquin halts for the men to change shoulders, Udayana sees the princess, and the prison house turns into a garden of delight The question, therefore, is when were the music lessons arranged > They can hardly be placed before Act III for in that case they would have been known by Vasantaka and Yaugandharayana He must suppose therefore, that these were arranged betxeen Act III and IV In fact there is a very big hiatus in the story between these two Acts, and we have to understand the following incidents to have taken place between those two Acts (1) Laugandhariyana must have acted upon his plan of releasing the king from captivity by infuriating the elephant Nalāgırı by spells, and herbs and smoke (11) Mahasena, out of gratitude to Udayana who pacifies the elephant, removes him from the prison to his palace निलगिरिग्रहणायं विमुनश्चेद् त पुनबंद्धस्ते स्वामी) (it) There the music lessons are arranged (अनग्निमाक्षिक महासेनम्य दुहितर ·faca sfaqa #14747 yawl) (iv) Udayana and Vasava datta must have been secretly married by the Gandharva rites (v) And the plan of running away on the she elephant Bhadravati, while Yaugandharayana and his secret agents and warriors prevented pursuit by storming the city gates must have been fixed up with the concurrence and know ledge of Yaugandharayana Eurely enough this is too big a gap but then only thus can the story be made to appear as coherent The music lesson is referred to in FaTIATTA ( बहुशोऽध्युपदशेषु यया मामीक्षमाणया। हतेन त्रस्तकोणेन कृतमाकाशया fael) So also the marriage of the two in a picture as it could not take place in reality owing to the elopement is mentioned in that play As for the inconsistency regarding the kings treat ment, who is very sympathetically looked after in Act II, but seems to have been clapped into prison and chained and fettered, the reversal may be explained as being due to the influence of Bharatarohaka who does not like that the captive should enjoy the privilege of living in the palace, free and un fettered With regard to the stanza 79 717 etc it is either a quotation from Kautilya's Arthaśastra, or both hauțilya and the dramatist may have taken it from a third source The verse in question belongs to the floating mass of literature from the past, for which no definite location can be fixed ·प्रतिज्ञायौगन्धरायणस्य कथावस्तु । अथ कदाचिन्मृगयाव्यसनी वत्सराजो वेणुवनानागवनं प्रयातः मन् प्रद्योतेन तमोपन्यस्तं वनगजपच्छादितसरीरं कपटहस्तिनं परमार्थगनं मत्वा वीणयनं वशीक्तुं यावदारभते तावत् महसा कपटहस्यधिष्टातृभिः प्रद्योतस्य योधैः स परियार्य बहुमहारनिपातिताश्वस्तत्कालं मोहं गतः कशामिलताभि प्राकृत इव शरीरयन्त्रणात प्रधर्पितः । ततो वस्मराजेन प्रथमं कुन्तप्रहार. जनितमोहः सालंकायनो नाम प्रद्योतस्यामात्यः शरीरयन्त्रणादुन्मुच्यनं स्कन्ध- शयनमारोप्योजयिनी नीत्वा प्रद्योताय समर्पितवान् । प्रद्योतश्च स्वरन्यां वासवदत्ता गान्धर्वासना ज्ञात्वा धरमराजाहीनं घोपयती नाम बाणारने नस्य दत्वा तमन्तःपुरेऽवरोध । तन चान्योन्यदर्शनन ममुम्पन्नाभिलाषी वामनदत्तावत्मराजी प्रच्छन्नं गान्धर्वेण विधिना निवृत्तविवाही सुखमनुभवन्ती स्थिती । अथ योगन्धरायणः स्वस्वामिनः परकृतच्चरनं चारमुसाग्छुत्वा तत्र च बन्धनेऽपि स्वामिनमवसिराजतनयादिवशीकृतहदयं जात्या विषण्णः स्वस्वामिनी घोपरत्याश्च वासवदत्तया सह प्रत्यानयमं प्रतिजने । ततः स उन्मत्तसहा वेषं त्या गूढाकारः स्वपुस्पैः सान्त पुरा सर्वामुज्जयिनी व्यापयाम्बभूव । अथ च काल सर्वान् स्वपुरषान् युद्धाय सन्नाहा दत्तसमया- नुरोधेन स्वामिनि वासवदत्ताद्वितीये करेणु भवतीमधिरह्योजयिन्या निष्फ्रान्ते प्रानुभिर्युध्यमान एवं गृहीतो यौगन्धरायणः । गुणानुरागिणा प्रद्योतेन नु पूर्वाभिप्रेतजामातृलाभप्रीतेन सत्कृत्य कौशाम्बी प्रेषितः । पात्राणि । पुरुषाः-- यौगन्धरायणः-उदयनस्य मन्त्री । उन्मत्त कश्चायमेव । भ्रमणक:-- --तद्वेष उदयनस्य मन्त्री रमप्वान् । विदूषकः-उदयनस्य नर्मसुहृद् वसन्तकः । माझग.-प्रच्छनो यौगन्धरायगस्य पुरषः । हंसकः-उदयनसमीपवर्ती कश्चिदुपाध्यायः । . गारसेवकः--योगन्धरायणस्य पुरषो वासवदत्तागृहे प्रस्टनो हस्तिपकः। ।
