 \nV】  \nBhartrihari zwrote three hundred verses:a hundredon the conduct of life,a hundred on love,a hundred onrenunciation.  \nIn the present collection,no less than eighty-five ofthe verses are taken from this master of Indian verse-writing.The remaining fifteen are from various sources.The arrangement of the verses is my owm,as are also thetitles prefixed to them.  \nI have striven faithfully for a literal rendering.Though a rendering into verse cannot be quite as closeas a prose version,nothing has been zwilfully added orsubtracted.One matter deserves notice here;I haveoccasionally translated Indian god-names,Shiva orBrahma,by the word God.This is not wholly accurate,yet not,I think,unfaithful in spirit.  \nThe present volume does not encroach unduly uponthe excellent work of P.E.Moore:A Century of IndianEpigrams.Only a few of the verses chosen by himare translated here,and even these in a manner quitedifferent.  \nI am under obligations to the University of CaliforniaChronicle for permission to reprint certain verses whichfirst appeared in its pages.ARTHUR W.RYDER.  \nBerkeley,California,February,19,1910.","cbCaisBdzdoTlrcP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisBdzdoTlrcP","pdf",1782355,120,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n## Bhartrihari and the frame narrative\n## Scope of the collection and selection sources\n## Translation approach and terminology\n## Acknowledgements and publication note","[{\"question\":\"What does Women’s Eyes contain, according to the introduction?\",\"answer\":\"It contains a collection of Sanskrit verses translated into English, mainly drawn from Bhartrihari, with the remaining selections from various sources.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is credited as the greatest among the Sanskrit verse writers mentioned?\",\"answer\":\"Bhartrihari is identified as the greatest, and the introduction describes the background and themes attributed to him.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the translator describe the translation method and special wording choices?\",\"answer\":\"The translator aims for a faithful, largely literal rendering; while verse translation cannot be as close as prose, nothing is knowingly added or subtracted.
