PUBLISHERS' NOTE
Syamala Dandaka is a short but thrilling
prayer addressed to Goddess Kali in the form
of Syamala. According to tradition, this little
work is said to have been composed and recited
by Kalidasa when he had the vision of Kali in
the temple where he went at the bidding of his
wife to propitiate the Goddess. The Chief
merit of the poem lies in the sweet and soul-
stirring melody of its style. This is a very
popular Dandaka in Sanskrit.

The work begins with two verses in the
'Upajati' metre which are followed by two
more verses in Anustup'. Then begins the
Dandaka, a Sanskrit metre which should have-
a minimum of twenty-seven syllables in a line..
All lines in this work are not of equal length..
The arrangement of syllables in Dandakas has
a rythm and melody of its own.
