This play is a dramatised version of the first few chapters of Tagore’s novel Rajarshi, but the plot of the drama is a great improvement upon that of the novel. It was staged a number of times during Tagore’s life and is part of a set of twelve books that have been translated by the Master himself.

Written and translated by the author-Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861-7 August 1941), was a Bengali polymath who reshaped his region's literature and music. Author of Gitanjali and its 'profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse', he became the first non-European Nobel laureate by earning the 1913 Prize in Literature.
