Excerpt from A Bibliography of the Sanskrit Drama: With an Introductory Sketch of the Dramatic Literature of India The arrangement of names and titles follows the order of the English alphabet, and no separate positions have been assigned to the vowels and consonants distinguished by diacritical marks. Heavy-faced type is used for the names of playwrights, ordinary Roman type for the names of plays. Plays are inserted under the author's name, when it is known, and cross-references are given under the titles of his various works. Anonymous plays are listed under the names by which they are known. Some titles, although identical with those of works by known authors, have had to be recorded in like manner as anonymous, merely because the neces sary data for a determination of their authorship were not avail able. For the same reason no exact statement as to the number of extant dramas can be made at the present time.
