This is the second volume (out of three) of the earliest surviving commentary, that of the tenth-century Kashmirian Vallabhadeva. The text that he had before him of Kalidasa’s poems differs in many places from that printed in other editions, which generally follow the readings of the commentator Mallinatha, who wrote four centuries later.
Notes discuss the text and report the readings of three other hitherto unpublished commentaries that predate Mallinatha, namely those of Srinatha, Vaidyasrigarbha and Daksinavartanatha.
