Dear Rembert and Madhav, The garbhāṅka in Kālidāsa's Mālavikāgnimitra is not a "play" in the strict sense of the word. It's character has been discussed by me most recently in Acta Asiatica Varsoviensia 36 (2023, appeared 2024), pp. 287-289 (https://doi.org/10.60018/AcAsVa.jreu4722). Herman

Deshpande Professor Emeritus, Sanskrit and Linguistics University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Senior Fellow, Oxford Center for Hindu Studies Adjunct Professor, National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore, India [Residence: Campbell, California, USA] On Fri, Nov 15, 2024 at 3:10 AM Rembert Lutjeharms via INDOLOGY <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Dear colleagues, I am looking for any scholarly literature on the use of inset plays (i.e. dramas performed by the characters within a play) in Sanskrit drama. I am aware of only two such studies: David Shulman's "Embracing the subject: Harṣa's play within a play" in Journal of Indian philosophy 25 (1997), and Gerald Carney's "Entering the dynamics of Vaiṣṇava devotion: the inset play in act III of Kavikarṇapūra's Caitanyacandrodaya" in Journal of Vaisnava Studies 5.1 (1996-1997). I would be very grateful for any additional studies you could point me to. Thank you.
