religious sanction or legal commitment." But, 'Br膩hma峁噄'
in the Sanskrit dramas means nothing
to ore
than a
'Br膩hma峁嘺's wife.' The argument loses
its force when we
find the same form used in the Mrcch more
than once.2
Thus, a careful study of all the available material
and also the full consideration of the probabilities
of the
case lead us to the following conclusions: That
the Car
is the original play and it is incomplete as
we have it;B
that the Car had at least nine acts which
developed on the
same lines as the later acts of the Mrcch; that the
author
of the Mrcch added the political bye-plot,
and the
gamblers' scene and effected many
improvements with
regard to characterization, versification, etc.
