Nāgānanda of Harṣa : the Sanskrit text with annotated English translation

The Nagananda is a play which dramatises the Buddhist legend of the great sacrifice of Jimutavahana to revive the snakes slain by Garuda; and to change the heart of the latter to refrain from any further killing of snakes. Although the work is translated into many languages it is for the first time that it is being rendered into English with such detailed explanatory notes.
