Royal Life in Manasollasa P. Arundhati
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->About the Book :
Manasollasa (the refresher of the mind) was composed by King Bhulokamalla Somesvara-III, of the western Chalukyan dynasty, whose rule extended over Karnataka and Andhra desa from 1138 A.D. to 1126 A.D. Also called Abhilasitarthachintamani (the magic stone that fulfils desires), <b>Manasollasa is encyclopaedic in scope, dealing with 100 different topics in five books, each having 20 topics. It is truly a refresher of the mind and a rich source of guidance by a king for the craft of kingship. This is the first attempt to render Manasollasa from Sanskrit into English.</b>
About the Author :
Dr. P. Arundhati, M.A., Ph.D. a distinguished Indologist and an archaeologist was born in 1942 and Talaprolu a placid village in Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh. She took her B.Sc. degree from Science College, Osmania University, Hyderabad. She obtained her M.A. degree in Religion and Culture from the same University in 1966. Her academic zeal for research engaged her in her doctoral thesis entitled "Religious Life and Thought in Andhra Desa from Satavahanas to 1000 A.D." and she was awarded Ph.D. degree by the Osmania University in 1984 for her outstanding thesis.
Her academic interest are varied and her specialisation includes the subjects on art, culture, Religion, crafts and archaeology. She acquired vast experience in various professional fields. She served in various capacities as Assistant Curator, Excavator, Registering Officer and presently the Administrative Officer in the Archaeological Survey of India, New Delhi. An academician, museologist, archaeologist and an administrator she made her mark with notable distinction.
She keeps herself engaged in academic pursuits with her wonted scholarship and sensitivity. She is member of many learned bodies in India like Andhra Pradesh History Congress, Museums Association of India, Crafts Museum, New Delhi etc.
Her independent excavation at Nagnur in Karimnagar district is very much to warding and her archaeological exploration in many of the Telengana districts yielded potential results. Her unfailing love for Religious studies warrants approbation from all the lovers of Indology.
