Description: Long lost, the manuscript of this significant text has been recovered in the Société Asiatique in Paris and is now published here. Lokaprakāśa by Kṣemendra with the Commentary of Sahaja Bhaṭṭa fills a large gap in our knowledge of private life and public administration in medieval India and will greatly interest Sanskritists and historians.
Brief description: Michael Witzel is Wales Professor of Sanskrit in the Department of South Asian Studies at Harvard University.
