Summary/Abstract: The articles gathered in volumes XIV and XV (forthcoming) of Cracow Indological Studies entitled History and Society as Depicted in Indian Literature and Art address the issues pertaining to the history of India and aim at presenting Indian society in different historical circumstances. There is no doubt that valuable insights into different aspects of the past can be provided not only by historical documents sensu stricto but also by literature and art. The history of India although greatly advanced in the 20th century still needs a lot of thorough consideration. One of the sources which should be seriously examined while reconstructing the ancient history of India are specimens of Indian literature. The vast treasury of different literary genres provides valuable data.
