Kshemendra’s Smayamatrika by Edward Powys Mathers

Although Edward Powys Mathers is more famous for ‘Bilhana: Black Marigolds’ (1919), which was later used by John Steinbeck for dramatic purposes in his American novel ‘Cannery Row’ (1945), Edward Powys Mathers was also one of the first translators of Kshemendra’s Smayamatrika.

His english version came out as ‘Harlot’s Breviary’ in volume 2  of book ‘Easter Love’ (1927).

The book was available at Digital library of India but the reading method provided there is not too easy. So I have recompiled and uploaded the book to archive.org
