Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 3 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Somadeva's Kathā Sarit Sāgara (or Ocean of Streams of Story) Beyond the limited border Of known facts there lies the wide world of hypotheses. There the goblins of fancy dis port themselves, and that is the land where the spirit roams freely. Happily there are no geographical or religious or national boundaries in that land of imagination and fancy. The whole of mankind dwells therein. There is that higher unity after which man is yearning, and only there is that bliss which gives to the tales their peculiar charm.

Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 4 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Somadeva's Katha Sarit Sagara (or Ocean of Streams of Story) Not much has been left to be said by way of introduction to the fourth volume of this splendid publication. The reader is familiar with the circumstances of the Sanskrit author's life; he knows what is necessary concerning the literary sources of the work; he has considered the origin of the stories, whether Aryan or Dravidian, in India itself, and their affinities with beliefs and practices in later India; and he has contemplated the important and difficult questions of transmission - transmission of stories and motifs from country to country, people to people, and the no less certainly attested inverse process of transmission from literary source to folk-lore. Then, again, the very march of the narrative has accustomed him to the ease of the authors style, fitting the matter like a glove, objective, impersonal and unmoved, whether the scene is earth or heaven or one of the various hells, an unvarying style equal to the burden of the long task. And the translator, as became a ripe scholar of fine literary taste, follows with a rendering as free from display as is the original itself. It was by no means a matter of course that the Great Tale of Gunadhya should come down to us in so acceptable a form. The example of Ksemendra's Brhatkatha-manjari ("Great-Tale Cluster") shows clearly that we might have had to be content with a much more restricted version by an author solicitous of poetical artifice rather than of the adequate presentation of the matter. Written in an old dialect little practised and contemned as vulgar, the work of Gunadhya was not safeguarded, like the Maha-Bharata and Ramayana, which Ksemendra subjected to the like treatment, by having been composed in the sacred language, by a theme relating to the great heroes of antiquity, by ancient fame and semi-divine character attaching to the author.

Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 8 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Somadeva's Katha Sarit Sagara (or Ocean of Streams of Story) It is a high honour but also something of an embarrassment to an amateur to be invited to figure among the distinguished specialists who have contributed introductions to the previous volumes of this great edition, in which Mr Penzer's learning continues to enliven and illuminate fold after sinuous fold of one of the world's great story-books. My friend Professor Rand not long ago delighted a large audience by denning a specialist as "the man who knows more and more about less and less," and it is certainly the experience of one whose special studies lie mainly in another direction that it is not easy to keep abreast of the increasing literature of his hobbies. Nor perhaps does the eighth volume particularly lend itself to an introduction by a student of marchen. It is a good deal taken up with what may rather be called epic themes of the warfare of gods and supernatural beings, which are interesting mainly from the literary point of view. How differently, it strikes the reader, would either Homer, Milton or Wagner have managed these contests, and to Western taste how marred is the interest of the Indian narrative by Oriental hyperbole and the too convenient recourse to magical powers and reincarnations for resolving tragic knots. This contrast indeed raises not uninteresting matters of literary aesthetic. I can remember suffering similar disillusionment when as a boy I stumbled upon Ellis's Specimens of the Early English Romances and learned how magical sources of prowess could blunt the edge of heroic exploits.

Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 2 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Somadeva's Kathā Sarit Sāgara (or Ocean of Streams of Story) Subscribers will be pleased to hear that great progress is being made with the subsequent volumes. Volume III is now in the press and Volume IV is well in hand. It remains but to acknowledge the kind help I have received from so many quarters. To Sir George Grierson is due special thanks for his most interesting and relevant Foreword. I was particularly gratified when Sir George so kindly consented to write this, as I know how pleased Mr Tawney would have been to have seen the name of his old friend connected with the present edition of his magnum opus. Dr L. D. Barnett has again read through all my proofs, and has not only given me the advantage of his inexhaustible store of Sanskrit knowledge, but has translated afresh those passages which needed revision, owing either to improved readings in the D. Text or to omissions made by Mr Tawney himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 9 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Somadeva's Katha Sarit Sagara (or Ocean of Streams of Story) Now Edited With Introduction, Fresh, Explanatory Notes and Terminal Essay The printing-press and the spread of primary education are affecting the demand for the services of the Kathak, but we can well imagine how extensive his influence was in mediaeval India. It will also be recognised that the art of the Kathak must have been largely responsible for the main tenance of a literary standard in the vernacular, and for the gradual development of a vigorous literature in languages such as, Hindi, Bengali and Guzerati. In the earlier centuries of the Christian era the epics and the stories were mostly enshrined in Sanskrit, but the Kathak had to relate them to his audience in the spoken language. It is not difficult therefore to realise that powerful influences were at work for the preservation, in a written form of the vernacular, of works which were previously accessible in a language understood only by a very small minority of the people. Perhaps some explanation may be found in these circumstances of the tradition embodied in Somadeva's recension of the Katha sarit-sdgara that Gunadhya had originally written out his collection of the stories in the Pais'achi dialect.

Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 6 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Katha Sarit Katha (or Ocean of Streams of Story) For comparative purposes, and as a preliminary step, col lections of folk-tales might be divided into two main groups - viz. Those having a literary form or dress, and those recorded exactly as taken down from the mouths of the folk. By the former group I do not mean merely the output, so often worthless, of the industrious but unintelligent collector who publishes the naive tales of the peasant or savage tastelessly selected, rearranged, draped, and even, now and then, mis fitted with very artificial morals duly appended for the instruction of youth and as inappropriate as those invented by the mediaeval preachers to moralise very similar tales in their eacmpla. Many a valuable ingathering has been utterly spoiled for any use as evidence of diffusion or of origin by such well-meaning but unhallowed blundering, committed on the plea of making the tales suitable for the English nursery. But I have more in mind such publications as the H istoires on Contes da Tems Passe of Perrault, whose first contes were in verse, like the tales of Somadeva; some have insisted that the boy Perrault fils was the real author and a faithful reporter of his nurse's stories, and that these were neither rewritten nor edited by his courtier father, the versatile man of letters and sycophant of Le Roi Soleil, but such features as the importation of the supernatural aid of the fairy godmother, found solely in the Perrault version of Cinderella and other tales, and there replacing the dead mother or the helpful beast or tree (which may or may not be a relncarnation of the mother) in most folk versions, seem decisive that Perrault's is a literary form of the M archen, and belongs to the first group. An example of the second group would be the famous Kinder and H ausmarchen of the Brothers Grimm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 7 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Somadeva's Kathā Sarit Sāgara The Brihat-Kāthā, or Great Story collection of Gunādhya, as well as the supposed excerpt from it, Somadeva's Ocean, are pretty nearly unique both in size and in the wealth and welter of story-telling. If I am not mistaken, even Somadeva's Ocean has no equal or superior in these respects in the fiction literature of the world; yet it is by no means a complete expression of what we might call the fiction genius of India. There are many other Brahmanical collections of importance, as well as equally impressive Buddhist and Jaina collections - Jatakas, Avadanas, Charitras, Kavyas and Kathanakas - known all over India and the Asiatic countries which, chiefly owing to the spread of Buddhism, have become intellectual tributaries of India. In a paper the part-title of which is, "On Recurring Psychic Motifs in Hindu Fiction," I have sketched very briefly the scope of this literature, as far as India is concerned. The total of fiction contained in these books is enormous; it reflects both fancy and fact, though incidental sketches of and allusions to real life render Hindu fiction a scarcely less valuable record of Hindu life than the more schematic treatises which deal with customs, manners and institutions. Suggestions as to Encyclopædic Treatment I am sure that the idea of a complete catalogue or clearing-house of these stories and the organic motifs which enter into their composition has flitted across the mind of many readers and students of this fascinating subject.

Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 1 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Somadeva's Kathā Sarit Sāgara (or Ocean of Streams of Story) Have been asked by Mr Penzer to write a Foreword to the first volume of his great work on the Katha Sarit Sagara, but when I observe the research that he has bestowed upon it and read the lists of those whose assistance he has secured, I cannot but feel much diffidence in comply ing with his request. I can, however, take this opportunity of saying what it has long been in my mind to say about the books and papers that this gigantic collection of Indian folk-tales has from time to time called forth. I am also somewhat encouraged to do this by the attitude of Mr Penzer towards his own important efforts, as it is clear that he does not look on them otherwise than as a continuation of the research that has been already devoted to the collections; for despite the exhaustive nature of his Appendix IV to this volume, his last paragraph - the very last of the whole volume - runs thus More than this it is impossible to say. Much research still remains to be done on this highly important anthropological problem. It is in this spirit that I, too, propose to approach the subject of the Katha Sarit Sagara - the Ocean of Story-and what I am now about to say points to further research being necessary, a proposition Mr Penzer would, I take it, be the last person to controvert. Nevertheless, I wish to say at once that Mr Penzer's notes to the text, short and long, and the four fine appendices on folk-lore to this volume - viz. On Mythical Beings, the Use of Collyrium and Kohl, the Cravings of Pregnant Women motif, and Sacred Prostitution - fulfil to my mind the purpose for which they are written, and must always be a mine into which students can delve with profit. They are a good augury for the value of the information he has in store for scholars in the volumes that are to follow. Anything that I may remark, therefore, which savours of criticism is said only with the Object Of assisting the research he has so gallantly and so usefully undertaken to promote.
