The present edition of the Meghaduta has been prepared with particular attention to the wants of university students; at the same time, much that is of interest to the general reader has been inserted.

This will enable the students to find out the prose order and thereby to reading the unnecessary portions of the commentary. The translation of the spurious stanzas is also given, with short notes thereon. All the grammatical points discussed by Malli.

Meghadūta ( मेघदूत ）literally Cloud Messenger
Mandākrāntā
The mandākrāntā is an atyaṣṭi meter (with 17 syllables per quarter) that was made famous by Kālidāsa in his Cloud Messenger (Meghadūta), which is composed entirely in this meter. The mandākrāntā would be associated with message poems forever afterwards.
The syllabic pattern is:
ऽ ऽ ऽ ऽ , । । । । । ऽ , ऽ । ऽ ऽ । ऽ ऽ
Note the obligatory word break after the fourth and tenth syllables.
Hereis a collection of verses on this blog in the mandākrāntā meter.
कश्चित्कान्ताविरहगुरुणा स्वाधिकारात्प्रमत्तः
शापेनास्तङ्गमितमहिमा वर्षभोग्येण भर्तुः ।
यक्षश्चक्रे जनकतनयास्नानपुण्योदकेषु
स्निग्घच्छायातरुषु वसतिं रामगिर्याश्रमेषु ॥
A certain yakṣa, negligent in the performance of his duties,
was deprived of his power by his master’s curse,
which was to be endured for one year, hard because of separation from his beloved.
He took residence among the hermitages of Ramagiri,
where the trees give cool shade,
and the waters are purified by the baths of Janaka’s daughter.

云使太浪漫了，温柔形象的思念。思念传递的过程本身也是一种美好，托云带给你我的情书，它的路途会经历什么，会看到什么美景，会遇到什么样的人，而彼时彼刻的你又在做些什么。云使涉及了大量于我而言陌生的印度神话、历史、宗教、地理知识，读起来很是吃力。书的原主读到第49页放弃了，我因为书打开必须读完的强迫症，遭遭罪读完了。

印度诗歌虽有着浓郁的宗教和民族的风味，但表达方式仍有相通，“这多情人与娇弱的爱人分离，在山中度过了数月，臂上的金钏已然褪落”，不也就是衣带渐宽终不悔么。

优美动人。翻译的也尤其好，相当雅致，又不失简洁。下面的注释中，徐梵澄先生的古诗式译法同样别有风味，有机会一定要找来读读。
