| Summary | "Het leemen wagentje: Indisch tooneelspel uit Sanskṛt en Prākṛt in het …" is a scholarly translation of an ancient Indian drama, likely written in the late 19th century. This work aims to bridge the gap between Indian literature and Dutch-speaking audiences by making significant Sanskrit texts, specifically the "Mṛcchakaṭikā", accessible in translation. The drama showcases a range of characters and themes including love, societal norms, and the struggles of the impoverished protagonist, Cārudatta, alongside his beloved Vasantasenā. The opening of the text introduces us to the context and purpose of the translation, noting the lack of familiarity with major Indian literary works in the Netherlands. It sets the stage for the central drama, delving into the life of Cārudatta, a Brahmin and impoverished merchant, and his interactions with the playful Vidūshaka, who lightens the atmosphere with his witty commentary. As the scene unfolds, we see Cārudatta's concerns surrounding his poverty and the desire for companionship, all while hints of impending conflict surface. This initial setup establishes a rich backdrop filled with social dynamics and emotional undertones that promise an engaging exploration of its characters in the following acts.
