About the author

After his earlier education, Devkinandan Khatri moved to Tekari Estate in Gaya. He became an employee of the Raja of Benares. He started a printing press called "Lahari" and started a Hindi monthly, "Sudarshan", in 1898. The various works of Khatri and his son Durga Prasad were republished by Lahari Press in the early 21st century. Lahari Press is still in existence in Ramkatora (Pisnahariya Kuwan)very close to area called Lahurabeer in Varanasi.

Khatri made a strong contribution to the learning of the Hindi language by the people of the times. People were so mesmerised by the works Chandrakanta, Chandrakanta Santati and Bhootnath that they started to learn Hindi just to be able to read the works. Khatri did not write any work at one go and then publish the same. He used to write "bayaans" - chapters - on the run from the British and these were published and distributed widely. People would await the new "bayaans" and congregate around those who could read Hindi to hear the latest exploits in the continuing saga.

Reviews

[Ravi Prakash · Rating 5 out of 5]

किताब पीडीएफ फॉर्मेट में डाऊनलोड की थी, जो कि मात्र तीन भाग में है जबकि वास्तविक पुस्तक संभवतः छः भागो में है।
लेकिन, चन्द्रकान्ता संतति की भाँति यह किताब भी बहुत रोचक ढंग से लिखी गयी।

[Mukesh Kumar · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun to start and in the middle. But gets really repetitive and tough to follow.
Interesting language used keeps you hooked somewhat.
