The Uttararamacharita: A Sanskrit Drama (1888)

The Uttararamacharita is a Sanskrit drama written by Bhavabhuti in the 8th century AD. The play is a sequel to the Ramayana and follows the story of Rama's sons, Lava and Kusha. The drama is set in the city of Ayodhya, where Lava and Kusha live with their mother, Sita. The play revolves around the conflict between the two brothers and their father, Rama, who is unaware of their existence. The drama explores themes of family, loyalty, and duty, and is known for its poetic language and vivid imagery. The play was first translated into English by Sir Monier Monier-Williams in 1888, and this edition includes both the original Sanskrit text and the English translation.
