Manasollasa (aka Abhilashitarthachintamani)

[Guest]

Hello,

Do you know the text called manasollAsa ?

This text was written by Somesvara Bhulokamalla in 1130 AD.

I know that one section describes a dice game called "golakakrIDane" or
"pasakakrida".

But I don't have this text. I just know that this section corresponds to verses from 634 to 712.

Do you have this text (or just this section) ? or a translation ?

Thank you for you help,
Frederic

<!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo--> ... but this web site does not provide the verses from 634 to 712 (the section dealing with "golakakrIDane" or "pasakakrida").
If someone has the original text or a translation, please contact me...
