Indian scholars, Perhaps these modern plays smack more of our contemporary tastes and reflect more the influence of European literature. Living authors there are, whose* works, at least some of them, rightly deserve to be named along with the ancient classic writings. , Mr* Natayana Sastriar, Bhattasri and Balasarasvati&s he has been termed, is the reputed author of ninety-four dramas. A wonderful feet of a literary genius!! The lack of encouragement of living authors has been the sole cause of the obscurity of his writings. Among those pieces that have seen the press are the Mithiheyam^ the Sarmishthavijayam and the Ratidvihuna* nam> of which the last is considered to.be his master-piece. The style is uniformly amusing but the evils of later day poetry are not always avoided. He is a master of literary Sanskrit and fancies are rich in poetic flights. Two romances in prose are yet in MSS. form, one of which describes the story and revelry of the Makhotsavam at Kumbakonam. But the prose-style requires a scholar to appreciate. The descriptions must, be commented upon by the author himself and to a beginner his work would be beyond attraction. Some of the speeches are most elegantly written and the 6uency of his .vocabulary is unsurpassed. Among other later innovations upon the strict style of dramatic composition is the division' of acts into scenes^ which is obviously an imitation «of western modes of composition. The Dhruvatapas-af Mr. Padmanabhacharya^ recently published in; Goimbatore iatroduces such a division, but disregards the Rhetorical precepts of dramatic construe-tiqn. The .language cannot be said to be easy but it? is scholarly and some of ideas are an expression of thematic writing has not ceased among modern*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}\par\pard \plain \cbpat8\qc\li125\fi0\ri0\sb0\sa0 \f1\fs20\b{\b0\i0\scaps\cf1\charscalex100\expndtw5\f1\cchs0\lang1033\fs24 madras:}\par \pard \plain \cbpat8\ql\li1836\fi-1205\ri326\sb62\sa0\sl-278\slmult0\tx3535 \f1\fs20\b{\b0\i0\cf1\charscalex100\expndtw8\f1\cchs0\lang1033\fs18 PRINTED AT THE VAIJAYANTI PRESS,\line \expndtw-2 j,?, \i Mount Road*{\charscalex100\expndtw0\tab }\i0\expndtw0 \\}\par \sect\sectd \sbknone\pgwsxn12240\pghsxn15840\marglsxn3124\margrsxn3425\margtsxn1440\margbsxn720\cols1\colsx60 \pard \plain \cbpat8\ql\li2753\fi0\ri0\sb293\sa0 \f1\fs20\b{\b0\i0\cf1\charscalex100\expndtw1\f1\cchs0\lang1033\fs18 1906.}\par \pard \plain \cbpat8\ql\li2030\fi0\ri0\sb5\sa0\tx4771 \f1\fs20\b{\b0\i\cf1\charscalex120\expndtw-16\f1\cchs0\lang1033\fs20 Registered Copy-fight.{\charscalex100\expndtw0\tab }\expndtw0 \\}\par \pard \plain \cbpat8\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sa0\tx4181 \f1\fs20\b{\b\i0\cf1\charscalex100\expndtw3\f1\cchs0\lang1033\fs25 Price Re. 1-4.]{\charscalex100\expndtw0\tab }\expndtw-13 [Foreign $2. 6df}\par }fe07ff8f1f01f000007fffe00000f4000000000000000000000000fffc7fe000ff0f3c0ffc03ff871f01f000003fffe00000fc0000000000000000000000007fff3ff0000f1e3c0ffc03ff871e00f000003fffe00006fc0000000000000000000000000fff9ffc00023f7c0ffc07ff87fe01f000007fffe00007f80000000000000000000000000fffe7ffc0003ffc0efc01ff07fe01f800003ffe800003fc00000000000000000000000001fff1fff00003f83f7c01ff0ffe01f800001fff000003f000000000000000000000000000fffe6ffe0000007fbc09fc07fe03f800001fff8000038000000000000000000000000000ffff8fffc000007ff801fc07fe03fc000001ff80000100000000000000000000000000000ffffbfff800007ff807fc07fe07fc000003ff800000000000000000000000000000000003fff87ffe00000fc007f807fe07fe000001ff800000380000000000000000000000000000ffff7fffe000000007f007fe1ffe000001ff800001fe0000000000000000000000000000ffffe0ffff0000003ff81ffe1f9f000000fc000007fc00000000000000000000000000001ffffc1fff8000003ff01ffc1fff800007c000037ffe000000000000000000000000000007ffff9ffffc600000001ffc3fff80000000001ffffc000000000000000000000000000001fffff9fffff180000001e01fff800000000dffffff000000000000000000000000000000fffffe3fffffe0000000000000800000001ffffffe0000000000000000000000000000000fffffc5ffffff8000000000000000000fffffffff00000000000000000000000000000007fffffdffffffffc00000000000001fffffffffff800000000000000000000000000000007fffff87ffffffffe80000000ebfffffffffffffa00000000000000000000000000000007fffffff7ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff800000000000000000000000000000007fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffbffffffff80000000000000000000000000000001ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffc00000000000000000000000000000008fffffffffffffffffffffffffff7ffffffffffff000000000000000000000000000000001fffffffffffefffffffffffdfffffffffffffff0000000000000000000000000000000007ffffffffffffffffffdffffffffffffffff81e00000000000000000000000000000000007fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffe00d00000000000000000000000000000000000fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff9200000000000000000000000000000000000000003ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007fffffffffffffffffffffffffc20000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001fffffffffffffffffffffff800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007ffffffffffffffffffff000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000dffffffffffffffd00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001ffffffffff02000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000080000000000000000000000000005000000070101000000030000000000}}}{\sp{\sn pictureGray}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn pWrapPolygonVertices}{\sv 8;25;(8458,0);(8458,557);(7476,557);(7476,1237);(2869,1237);(2869,4208);(0,4208);(0,16772);(1737,16772);(1737,18938);(4606,18938);(4606,21600);(21600,21600);(21600,18938);(21600,18938);(21600,16772);(21600,16772);(21600,4208);(21600,4208);(21600,1237);(21600,1237);(21600,557);(21600,557);(21600,0);(8458,0)}}{\sp{\sn fLayoutInCell}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn fIsBullet}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fAllowOverlap}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn fEditedWrap}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fBehindDocument}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn fPrint}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn dxWrapDistLeft}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn dxWrapDistRight}{\sv 0}}}{\shprslt\pard \plain \li0\ri0\sb0\sa0\pvpara\phcol\posnegx3677\posnegy302\absw0\absh3351\dfrmtxtx38\dfrmtxty60 {\pict\wmetafile8\picw4842\pich5909\picwgoal2745\pichgoal3350
