Abstract

en_US There are three major sections to this book. First there is the Sanskrit text, apparently with an apparatus criticus. Then there are 124 pages of English translation. Finally there are 54 pages, newly paginated, of extensive notes in English. The English text does not offer much help in its formatting. The quoted verses seem to follow the same formatting as everything else. Individual fables are given titles just above their texts. The translation follows an unusual--and I would say difficult--style. Alternate expressions, literal meanings, supplied words, and other material are given in parentheses. It is hard to find a sentence without parentheses. The covers are made of paper pasted on boards. The paper is coming loose here, especially around the book's spine.
