http://www.lib.umich.edu/area/sasia/vatas.htm |
The anonymous Rajasthani prose narrative, the vata (also bata; from the Sanskrit varata), is an important component of the premodern Rajasthani literature. Many vatas have been edited and published in recent decades, but they have not been used very much by those who study the society and culture of Rajasthan. This alphabetical list is an attempt to acquaint those with an interest in the region with the more readily accessible published vatas. |
