The Metamorphosis of Sona: With a Glossary, Descriptive of the Mythology of the Sastras

Excerpt from The Metamorphosis of Sona: With a Glossary, Descriptive of the Mythology of the Sastras

The Author of this work was induced to relate in verse, the following legendary tale from the Vayéra Purana, at the suggestion of an ingenious arid much esteemed friend; who, intending to write upon a subject connected with Hindύst'hán, imagined such a poem might be properly introduced into it. The verses were not, however, expected to exceed the number of two or three hundred lines; nor were they, by any means, intended to enter very deeply into the doctrines of the Hindύ religion, or into a very accurate description or illustration of Hindύ manners.
