This set of plays provides an array of Sanskrit drama and satire, with plots that vary from the "strikingly Shakespearian" (as H. H. Wilson described it ) "Little Clay Cart" to a dramatization of and amendment to the "Ram yana" in "Rama's Last Act." In addition to its scope of genre, the set covers a large period of time (the "Three Satires" by Bh llata, Kshem ndra, and Nila-kan alone were written over a period of nearly a thousand years) and also includes several works traditionally given less modern attention, such as "M lavika and Agni-mitra" by Kali-dasa, in order to provide a multifaceted view of Sankskrit theater.
