all arts and sciences, so that all the women fell in love with him. The 
husbands complained to the Raja, and Madhavanal was banished from 
Puphavatl. He retired to Kam’uati, the capital of Raja Kdm Sen, who 
was fond of music and singing, and gave the Brahman a place in his 
court. This Raja had a most beautiful woman (a vegya) named Kdm 
Kan da I a, with whom Madhavanal fell in love, for which he was expelled 
from Kam’vatl. He then went to Ujain, and asked a boon from Raja 
Vihramaditya, who was famed for granting every request that was 
made to him. The promise was duly made, and the Brahman claimed 
to have Ram Kandala given up to him. Vikramaditya accordingly 
besieged Kam’vatl and captured Kam Kandala, who was at once made 
over to Madhavanal. After some time, with Vikrama’s permission, 
the happy pair retired to Puphavatl, where Madhavanal built a palace 
for Kam Kandala, the ruins of which are still shown. (See Rep. 
Arch. Surv.Ind. ix, 37.)

associated with Kazim *All Jawan (see Garcin de Tassy, l.c.). 
In connexion with the Prem Sagar, the following note on Hindi 
translations of the Bhagauata Parana may be of use. Sur Das (No. 
37) is said to have translated the whole, but his translation has not 
come down to us. According to Ward, View , etc., ii, 481, Priya Das 
(cf. No. 319) was the author of a Bhagauad in the dialect of Bundel’- 
hhand (see Garcin de Tassy, i, 405). The last-named author (i, 121) 
also mentions a Bhupati (cf. No. 332), a Ksyasth, who ‘was author of 
a Bhagauat in Hindi verse entitled Sri Bhagauat . There is a copy 
of it in the Library of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, and Ward quotes 
from it. I do not know if this copy is the same as one which exists in 
the British Museum, in Halhed’s collection, No. 5620. The last is 
composed of verses of nine lines each, and is written in the Persian 
character. The dialect is unintelligible. There is also a Bhagauat 
in Hindi verse in the India Office Library, entitled Pothi Bhagauat, 
but according to the catalogue it is only a portion of the Bhagavata 
Purana translated from the Sanskrit/ Maharaj Raghu Raj Sirjgh 
(No. 532) of Baud ho (RUua) was author of a much-admired trans¬ 
lation of the Bhagauata Purana, entitled Anandambudhi. Kripa Ram 
(No. 797) may also be mentioned as having translated the whole 
Purana into dohas and chmipais in simple language. 
The tenth book of the Purana, dealing with Krisna’s life, is the 
most popular, and has been frequently translated. The Prem Sagar is 
the best known version, and those of Chatur'bhuj Misar (? No. 40) and
