FOREWORD.

In presenting this rendering of the popular oriental

tale of ' Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,' into the Sanskrit

language, to the student-world, and to the reading public,

]Slr. Modak has given evidence of his mastery over the

classical language of India and has vindicated the claim

of Sanskrit as an instrument of expressing in an incisive

manner the most modern as well as the most ancient ideas.

In true oriental style, he has supplied the usual framework

of the story—the fiction of a^ master inculcating a moral

lesson upon his disciples by means of a story. Another ex-

cellent feature—entirely an innovation of the author—is the

introduction in proper places of epigrams and pithy sayings

in verse-form which give to the translation the appearanceof an original work modelled on the pattern of the Hitopadesa

or the Pancatantra. The Sanskrit language is unequalled in

its power of concise metrical argument, and in its precision

and adequacy as an instrument of expression. A lover of

Sanskrit, therefore, will be delighted to read these pageswhich will not fail to give him the impression that he is notreading a translation at all, bu t an original tale in Sanskrit.

If the translator creates this impression, he has truly succeed-

ed ; otherwise he will deserve Shelley's strictures on the

headlong rashness of translation—

" It were as wise to cast

a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formalprinciple of its colour and odour, as seek to transfuse fromone language into another the creations of a poet. Tiie pfantmust spring again from^ts seed or it will bear no flower.

"

This excellent remark lays, down the very end and purposeof a translation.

In the hands of Mr. Mcdak, the language becomes a won-

derfully facile and fluid instrument of expressing the thought

in the simplest and most natural way. The language is simple,

flowing and chaste ; and I make no doubt that the book will

serve as an excellent Sanskrit text not only in the class but

outside it. Even a student who has learnt just the bare

elements of the language will be able to follow the story

unaided—for if in places he will not understand the mean-

ing of a word or an expression,—yet the story-interest

will ensure that he journeys to the end. Further to help

the reader, the author has adopted—and I believe rightly

and with good authority—a new and natural punctuation,

stopping where one is expected to stop in the reading, and

not combining the vowels and consonants according to the

rules of Sandhi.

The book is on the whole, excellent reading, and it is

to be hoped that the author will produce many others of

its like.
