A legend of Rani Padamawati of Chittor during the Sultanate period in Indian history is part of Indian folklore and Indian heritage. This legend finds its poetic version in the 16th century Indian Hindi poets' composition (1540) which immortalized this great Indian queen. This edited version's merit lies in the annotation and word-meanings of the highly Sanskritised vocabulary items and their complete etymology. It is scholarly work of great merit which unfolds the richness and profundity of Hindi usage[edit]
