Maharsi Palakapya's Gajasastram
Synopsis
The present Publication, the Gajasastram of Palakapya Muni, along with a Sanskrit commentary, named Bhavasandarsini by Anantakrsnabhattaraka as well as the English translation and 136 Illustrations, is a very rare and important work, which is still unpublished. The main contribution of the Book is the Sanskrit Commentary which is still in the form of a Ms. and its English translation-cum-paraphrase, possibly by the Scribe himself, viz. V. Vijayaraghavacharya. There are in all 19 chapters in this work and they contain information about: The origin of Palakapya; the Curses to the elephants; the forests in which elephants were found, the different peculiarities of elephants belonging to various geographical areas; the description of the elephants since their birth, through the different stages in their life, the major qualities of Elephants etc. etc. In short, it may be said without any kind of exaggeration that this is a very important work or almost an Encyclopaedia on Elephants, because, everything about Elephants, except their diseases and the treatment thereof, is described here with graphic accompanying sketches or illustrations, drawn by the scribe under the able guidance of the Enlightened King. H.H. Shrimant Bhavanrao Shrinivasrao alias Balasaheb Pant Pratinidhi, the Rajasaheb of the State of Aundh in Maharashtra.
