Dear Friends,

This is in relation to Daṇḍin's Dasakumāracarita and the monthly ritual of kanduka-krīḍita that the princess, Kandukavatī, performed for Vindhyavāsinī during kṛttikā.

Raghavan (1960, 149) has briefly mentioned a:

'commentary Padacandrikā quotes a treatise called Kanduka-tantra on the art of playing with ball.' 

Raghavan, V., ed. 1960. Nṛttaratnavali of Jāya Senāpati. Madras: Government Oriental Manuscripts Library.

I would be most grateful for any information about how to locate and access these two texts.

Thank you.

All the best,
