The old Indian treatises on poetics treasure the key to the deeper understanding and the pleasurable reception of South Asian poetry. The present work is devoted to Daṇḍin's Kāvyādarśa ("Mirror of Poetic Art") one of the oldest available Indian books on poetics and its Tibetan translation the Sñan ṅag me loṅ. For the first time a critical edition of the first chapter Mārgavibhāga ("Distinction of Styles") of this treatise both in Sanskrit and Tibetan is being presented here, prepared in accordance with the principles of textual criticism. The Sanskrit text is printed in the Devanāgarī script and the Tibetan in the Dbu can script. This publication attempts to offer a reliable basis for any further research on this important Sanskrit text and its Tibetan rendition and thus aims to ensure more precise literary analyses. The new German translation of the first chapter as well as the two glossaries (Sanskrit-German-Tibetan and Tibetan-Sanskrit) and the various appendices included in this book are intended to facilitate the work on Daṇḍin's "Mirror of Poetic Art".
