Sattaka Literature Study

The Sattaka is a literary cast in Prakrit evolved through centuries from the early dramatic entertainment. The Sattakas, though found in small number, roused considerable interest among Prakrit and oriental scholars, when Prof. Sten Know, as inspired by his teacher Prof. R.Pischel, brought out a critical edition of the Karpüramañjarī Sattaka in 1900 A.D., as Vol. IV of the Harvard Oriental Series. Eminent scholars like Dr. M.M.Ghosh, Dr. A.N.Upadhye, Prof. N.G.Suru, Dr. R.P.Poddar etc. brought out critical editions of the available five Sattakas with their respective studies; and reputed scholars like Professors Sylvain Lévi, A.B.Keith, R.V.Jahagirdar, I.Shekhar etc. put forth their critical views and opinions on the problems connected with the Sattakas.
