Summary
[edit]Description17th-century manuscript copy of Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa, Kavya, Sanskrit, Nepali script.jpg |
English: This is a manuscript page copy of the ancient Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa text.
The bolded letters are the text, the light diacritics, any colored marks, light dashes and dots under the letters are coded markers found in Sanskrit manuscripts for readers and reciters, i.e. dandas separate the words/sentences/verses, avagrahas for various compounds, circles for the galitas, and the particle iti. Colored or light texts on the margins are either corrections, or they are commentaries of the owner or some scholar / citations / reference-by-incorporation of another ancient Hindu scholar's work. Language: Sanskrit Script: Nepali The manuscript was discovered in Nepal – a major source for ancient Sanskrit literature. It was bought by European collectors in the 19th-century. It is now preserved with the Cambridge University Sanskrit manuscript collection. The photo above is of a 2D artwork of a text that is over 2,000 years old, from a manuscript that was produced in 1863 CE. Therefore Wikimedia Commons PD-Art licensing guidelines apply.
