PREFATORY NOTE
It gives me sincere pleasure to include in the Columbia Uni-
versity Indo-Iranian Series, as its ninth volume, this presentation
of the works of Mayūra, a Sanskrit poet of the seventh century,
together with a supposedly rival poem by his contemporary Bāņa.
The volume represents years of labor on the part of my friend
and pupil Dr. Quackenbos, and I commend it to the consideration
of students of Sanskrit literature as a distinct contribution to our
knowledge of a special variety of Hindu poetry.
