PR EFACE.

THE Story of Nala, as told in the following pages, is anepisode of the Maha-bharata, one of the two great Epicpoems of the Hindus, containing no less than 1°7,389 slokasor stanzas. It is extracted from the sixth chapter (fifty-third \section) of the third Book or Vana-parvan. Like the rest ofthe Maha-bharata, its authorship is attributed to KrishI).a­Dvaipayana, who is called Vyasa, because he arranged theVedas 1. It is not to be supposed, however, that the Vedasand MaM-bharata are really the work of the same author.The Vedas are many centuries older than the great Epicpoem,. and each is the composition of several authors.Probably an interval of several centuries separates the moreancient hymns of the Veda from the more modern; anda similar or perhaps greater separation may be observedbetween the older parts of the Maha-bharata and the moremodern interpolations.

By ascribing this work to Vyasa-who is also the reputedauthor of the Vedanta philosophy-it is merely implied that,at some time or other, order and sequence were given to what

was before a mere congeries ofdistinct compositions by variousauthors.

Part of the Maha.-bharata is considered by some 1 to be asold as the fourth century B. c.; but all Hindu chronology ismore or less conjectural; and it would be impossible to fixwith certainty the date, of the composition of any of theprincipal episodes. The Story of Nala is not part of themain plot of the poem, and probably belongs to a muchearlier period of Indian history. The subject of the greatEpic is the war between the Kurus or hundred sons ofDhrita·cishtra and their cousins the five sons of PaQ.q.u.But about this leading-thread are collected a vast numberof ancient legends and traditions, under the weight of whichit is often lost, if not altogether broken. In all Orientalbooks of fables it is common for the principal narrative tobe interrupted by a series of stories within stories, looselyconnected with the original theme, and often completelyoverlaying it. So it is with the Maha-bM.rnta. The epi­sodes form by far the greater portion of the poem, andgenerally intervene to break the chain of the narrative,when the incidents are most stirring and the interest ismost at its height. The war between the rival princes isdoubtless founded on fact; and much valuable matter hasbeen extracted from the narrative by Professor Lassen andother Sanskritists, in elucidation of the early history of India.According to the VishQ.u-PuraQ.a, Dhrita-rashtra and Pa:Q.q.uwere the sons of the widow of Vicitra-vfrya by his half­brother Vyasa or KrishQ.a-Dvaipayana 2. This Vi6itra-vfrya

law, like the Mosaic, permitted Vyasa to raise up offspring to his deceasedbrother. Satyavatf, mother of Vyasa, was afterwards wife of S'antanu.

was the son of Santanu, who was the twenty-third in descentfrom Kuru, a celebrated prince of the Lunar race, himselfthe ninth king after Bharata, son of Dushyanta and Sakun­tala, from whom India is to this day called Bharata-varsha.Vyasa is thus reputed to be the actual grandfather of theprinces whose quarrels and jealousies are narrated in thepoem he is said to have arranged; and, from the genealogy,it is evident that although the sons of Dhrita-rash~ra aremore usually called the descendants of Kuru, the sons ofPl4lgu were }'eally descended from the same race.

The royal races of India are said to have diverged into twogreat lines, called Solar and Lunar. The hero of the Solarline, which commenced in Ikshvaku, was Rama-eandra 1,

whose contests with the barbarous tribes of the south ofIndia is described in the RamayaJ;l3., the more ancient ofthe two great Epics. The Kurus and Pl4lgavas, as eq~ally

descendants ofKum, belonged to the Lunar line, and probablyrepresented different branches of one tribe of Sanskrit-speak­ing immigrants, who arrived in India at different times.According to the Maha-bharata, PaI,l.gu, the father of thefive Pa.I,l.gavas, after yielding the succession to his blindbrother Dhrita-rash~ra, retired to the mountains and died.His five boys were then adopted by Dhrita-raHh~ra andeducated with his own large family of a hundred sons.After escaping many dangers from the malevolence of theircousins, they were ultimately permitted to share with themin the sovereignty. Yudhishthira, the eldest of the pa.I,l.gavas,and his four brothers ruled at Indra-prastha (the modernDelhi), and Duryodhana with his ninety-nine brothers (usually

-called the Kurus) were sovereigns at the neighbouring townof Hastina-pura. The P3.l;lq.avas, whose disposition was asamiable as that of the Kurus was malevolent, seem to havebeen very successful in subduing the districts contiguousto their qwn; and, notwithstanding the animosity of theirneighbouring cousins, to have attained considerable pros­perity. A great misfortune, however, overtakes them.Tempted to· amuse themselves with dice, and yielding to aweakness which has ever been a fashionable failing amongstthe Hindus, Yudhishthira loses all hUI possessions, at a gameof hazard, to his cousin Duryodhana: and, retiring with hisbrethren into exile, lives for twelve years in the forest (vana).It is to console them under their afHiction that the sageVrihadaSva relates to king Yudhishthira the Story of Nala,who, himself a virtuous monarch, lost hUI kingdom alsothrough his passion for dice; but after suffering greathardships again lecovered it.

The following short summary of the Story of Nala may beuseful as an introduction to the study of the poem.

Nala, who is described as ' gifted ~th choicest virtues: andis especially noted for his skill in driving, has only one fault,the inherent love of gambling l • He was king of Nishadha,a country in central India, in the S. E. division, whence hisother name of Naishadha. In a neighbouring country, calledVidarbha (the modern Berar), reigned Bhima, whose onlydaughter, Damayanti, was so beautiful that her fame reachedthe ears of Nala. His interest in her being excited, wasfanned into a flame by the following incident :-

Walking in his garden one day, and seeing some swans

1 The epithet aksha-priya, 'fond of dice,' is applied to Nala in enumeratinghis good qualities (verse 3), and Kali, therefore, only assailed him in his weakpoint. See, however, the vocabulary under aksha-priya.

disporting themselves near him, the fancy takes him to catch

one out of sport. The bird; addressing him in human

language, promises, if he will release it, to fly to Damayantl

and praise Nala in her presence. This plan being agreedupon and carried into effect, Damayanti becomes duly in­

spired with a passion for Nala. Bhima, her father, seeing. his daughter pining in secret, determines to celebrate her

Svayarp.vara, that" is, to proclaim the public choice of a

husband by Damayanti, according to the custom of that age.All the princes of India, including Nala, "flock to Vidarbha, as

suitors for the hand of Damayanti The gods also, hearingof her beauty, resolve to be present; and, meeting Nala ontheir road to the SvayaIp.vara, commission him to plead theircause with Damayanti. He confesses himself enatnoured

also, and entreats to be excused; bnt being adjured sternly,promises to deliver their message, and is introduced. by themunseen mto the palace. There he has an interview with

Damayanti, who, slighting the message of the gods, confessesher love to Nala, and her intention to choose him and himonly. Accordingly, at the Svayarp.vara, in spite of the artificeof the deities who assume Nala's shape, she detects her lover

by his shadow, (the gods having none,) and selects him.It appears that at the time of the Svaya~vara,Kali, an evilgenius, the fourth Age of the world or Vice personified, hadset out for Vidarbha with the intention of making Damayant!

his consort; but, hearing of the completion of the marriage­ceremony. he resolves out of jealousy to work the ruin ofNala. For twelve years he watches his opportunity, and atlast, detecting Nala in some trifling neglect of his ablutions,

enters and acquires power over his body. Infatuating hisvictim, he instigates him to play at dice with his brother.Pushkara. The game goes on for many months; and Nala;

after losing his kingdom and all his possessions, is drivenwith Damayanti into exile. ,In the forest, Nala, still infatu­ated by Kali, deserts Damayanti; who, wandering alone, andescaping many perils, at last finds a refuge at the court of theking of Cedi. Meanwhile, Nala, passing through the forest,rescues a serpent from a flaming bush. This serpent turnsout to be Karko~ka, one of the principal Nagas (see vocabu­lary under ;nJT) or semi-divine beings inhabiting the regionsunder the earth. In return for the service rendered by NaIa,Karko~a promises to deliver Nala from the power of Kali.

He accordingly metamorphoses Nala into a dwarfish charioteer,but gives him a magic garment, by assuming which he canat any time regain his proper form. NaIa, now transformedto the short-armed Vahuka, enters the service of J;tituparJ;la,king of Ayodhya, a monarch celebrated for his skill in dice.Meanwhile, king Bhima, searching the world for his lostdaughter, discovers her at length at Cedi, and sends for herthence to his own capital. There, pining for the lost NaIa,she devises a plan to recover him. Suspecting that he .isJiving, disguised as Vahuka, with ~itupa~a, king of Ayodhya,she causes the latter to be told that king Bhima would cele­brate on the mOIT?w a second SvaYaI!1vara for his daughterDamayanti. ~tupa~a determines to be present, but canonly be so by the help of his charioteer Vahuka, whose~ in horsemanship enables him to drive from Ayodhyato Vidarbha in one day. On the road NaIa, disguised asVahuka, agrees to impart to ~ituparJ;la his knowledge ofhorsemanship in return for that monarch's skill in dice. TheyPlake the exchange, and, arriving at Ayodhya, NaIa re-assumeshis own form and is restored to his wife. Returning with-her to Nishadha, he seeks Pushkara, renews the game, and-'Wins back his kingdom. Then, with noble generosity, he

forgives Pushkara, and enters on a long and happy reignwith his consort Damayantf.

That this Story of Nala, however comparatively modernthe version in the Maha.-bMrata, is of great antiquity, maybe proved by internal evidence. The prominence given tothe deities Indra, Agni, VaruJ,la, and Yama, and the absenceof all allusion to the great Hindu Triad, connect the narrativemore with the Vedic than the Epic and Puranic periods1

..

If Nala was of the Solar race, as represented by Kalidasa,he must have been the fourth from the great Rama, son ofDaaa-ratha, the genealogy, according to, the Raghu-vaySa,running thus :-Raghu, Aja, DaSa-ratha, Barna, Kuaa, Atithi,Nishadha, Nala, Nabhas. But if he belonged to the Lunardynasty, reigning at Nishadha, when ~ituparJ,1a of the Solarrace reigned at Ayodhya, then we must assign him a muchearlier date, and place him fourteen reigns before Bama.

The story, no doubt, rests on a foundation of fact, and, onaccount of its age, is a favourite subject with Hindu poets.It not only appears as an episode to the MaM-bMrata, butforms the subject of two other celebrated poems, one called

, the Nalodaya, attributed.to the great Kalidasa, the author otSakuntala; and the other called the Naishadha, written bySri Harsha. It is also introduced by Somadeva Bhatt;a intohis collection of stories called Katha-sarit-sagara, and toldthere with variations. It is, moreover, the subject-matter of a­

very curious composition, halfprose, half verse, called Campu,

! According to Professor Brockhaus, the personification of Kali as thedemon of the fourth Age, and not of the dice, shews that the modern arrangerof the story did not understand this old Vedic term, and is another proof ofthe earlier existence of the Nala. The word Treta (which denotes the secondAge of the world) is also used for a throw of dice. See the second Act of the

by an author named Tri-vikrama, and of a well-known work inTamil, called the Nala-Raja, and again of another in Telugu,by the poet Raghava, written about A. D. 1650; these latterpoems being independent compositions, and not mere trans­lations from the Sanskrit.

It is a noteworthy circumstance in the history of Indianliterature, that the later Hindu poets, with much exuberanceof fancy, displayed little originality in their conceptions.Whether they thought it a sacred duty to follow in thebeaten track, or whether their inventive faculties were feeble,it rarely enters into their heads to devise a new story forthemselves. They content themselves with the regular stockmaterials, and exercise their ingenuity either in diluting themor serving them up in a concentrated form, with here andthere a few embellishments or additions of their own. Thetwo Epic poems are their grand repertories. These giganticcompositions, like vast' national banks with inexhaustibleresources, are drawn upon freely by every poet. The historyof Rama, which is narrated at full length in the RamayaJ}.a,is condensed into moderate dimensions by Kalidasa in hisRaghu-vanBa, reduced to a mere table of contents by Bha~~i

in his grammatical poem, and represented wit~ dramaticrichness of detail by Bhava-bhuti in his well-known play,the Uttara-Rama-6aritra. Then we have a celebrated poetMagha, writing his epic on a story taken from the seventhchapter of the second Book or Sabha-parva of the Maha­bharata (the destruction of Sisupala, king of dedi, by Kri­shl].a); and the poet Bharavi, the author of another well­known Epic called Kiratar,junfya (or the contest of AIjunawith Siva as a mountaineer), selecting his subject from thefourth chapter of the third Book or Vana-parva of the samegreat poem. One advantage of this is, that if we have not

PREFACE. xiii

a variety of subjects, we have at least a diversity of styles.The same subject could not be treated by every author inthe same way. We have, therefore, specimens of everyshade of composition between the most tedious diffusenessand the most laconic curtness,-the most turgid ornament andthe most severe simplicity. In no other language but theductile, flexible, and infinitely copious Sanskrit could suchopposite extremes be possible. The very same idea whichby one author is expressed with a brevity unapproachablein English, is by another expanded and beaten out tillthe subetance of the original metal almost disappears. Inthe one case we have every needless word rejected, and themeaning so obscured, that sentences have to be interpretedlike oracles, and every line of text to be illustrated by pagesof commentary; in the other, huge compounds are intro­duced, epithets heaped on epithets, metaphors on metaphors,till the mind of the venturesome reader is hopelessly bewil­dered. This is what has happened to the Story of Nala.Presented to us in the plainest manner in the Maha-bharata,it is condensed in the Nalodaya with a compression and con­centration absolutely painful; in the Naishadha it is diluted-'by prolix descriptions or overdone with rich imagery; inSomadeva's Katha-sarit-sagara it is again exhibited in itssimple form; whilst in Tri-vikrama's Campu it is buriedunder a dead weight of long words, ponderous compounds,and inflated periods.

The main features of the present edition of the Maha,.,bharata version of the Nala will be patent at once.

In the first place, it presents, as far as possible, a pure,and accurate text. Excellent MSS. of the MaM-bharata,belonging to the India Office and Bodleian Libraries, havebeen at my command, and the text of the following pages

XIV PREFACE~

is the result of a careful collation of these with the variousprinted editions already before the public.

With regard to the vocabulary appended to this work,I have only to say that I have spared no pains to make itmore complete than that of the first edition, and to bringit into harmony with the fourth edition of my SanskritGrammar, also published by the Delegates of the ClarendonPress. The amount of labour entailed by a glossary of thiskind is only to be appreciated by those who have themselvesundergone it. I believe this to be the only vocabulary inwhich each word, as it stands in the text, whatever be itsform, either of case or tense, or whatever the change in thatform resulting from the rules of euphony, occupies its properalphabetical place. Those who have had experience in teach­ing will understand the value of this aid to students justbeginning to read a language abounding in intricate com­binations and perplexing euphonic changes. There cannotbe a greater mistake than to suppose that the amount ofassistance required in a Sanskrit vocabulary is to be measuredby that given in Greek or Latin glossaries. We have inSanskrit two peculiarities. One is the constant use oflong· compound words; the other is the habit of joiningwords together by a strict system of euphony, which, thoughnot carried to the same extreme in all printed books, mustalways be a source of perplexity. The learner has to makerepeated references to his vocabulary, and every facilityshould be accorded to him. I have known pupils, who haveworked their way steadily through the grammar, puzzlethemselves hopelessly over the following three words in thefirst story of the HitopadeSa, visarpan tan tarJ4ulaka'lfan,

because, in accordance with euphonic laws, these words areprinted in the text thuB,-visarpanstansta'f}q,ulaka'f}an (m-

(idi"~l'lS44iJ1'(), while the original words, in their unchangedform, are exhibited in the glossary. If the words weredivided, the difficulty would not be insurmountable: butnot finding ~, the student concludes that he has mis­taken the division. Referring again to the vocabulary, hefinds A and n, and taking these for his first words goesentirely wrong. Now according to my method, as beforeexplained, the words would be separated in the text thus,--1Jisarpans tdns ta'TJ4ulakary,dn; and they would moreoverbe so exhibited in their proper places in the glossary, anexplication of the euphonic changes being added. In allcases where separation is undesirable, as when two vowels

• blend into one, or when a final i or u has been changedto 'y or v, the whole combination is given, and the divisionof the words indicated.

I believe the present vocabulary will be found to containevery word in the text. Ifeach separate article is not alwaysas full of details as might be expected, it should be borne inmind that the perfection ofa special work of this kind consistsin its not being burdened with more words and meaningsthan are wanted for the one book which it elucidates. More­over, the grammar is intended to go hand in hand with thevocabulary, and a complete explanation of a difficulty isoften to be sought in the rules to which constant referenceis made.

With regard to the metrical translation which accompaniesthis edition of the Nala, the late Dean Milman, shortly beforehis death, kindly adopted many of my suggestions for theimprovement of his original version, so as to adapt it moreclosely to the text. Its continued use has revealed the needof further slight alterations, which I have been obliged tomake on my own responsibility.

XVI PREFACE.

The metre of the Sanskrit text never varies from theregular sloka measure called Anush~ubh, an acoount ofwhich, with a table of all the most common varieties ofmetre, is given at the end of the fourth edition of mySanskrit Grammar, published at the Clarendon Press. Itconsists of sixteen syllables to the half·line or thirty-twoto each verse of two lines.

The first line of the poem serves as a model for the whole,and with the exception of the six syllables, whose quantitiesare here marked by the usual prosodial marks (v - - II v - v),the poet is allowed the option of either long or short :

ds{d rdjd 'fullo nama II mrasenasiUO MU.

Occasionally the 6th and 7th syllables are short instead oflong.
