The Hero and the Nymph and Urvasie

On an old advertisement page of the Arya I find: “The Hero and the Nymph, a translation in verse of Kalidasa’s Vikramorvasie.”

Yes, I had forgotten the Hero and the Nymph.

Our library hasn’t got this translation, nor your poem Urvasie, both of which are out of print.

I don’t think I have the Urvasie, neither am I very anxious to have this poem saved from oblivion.
