Datta Vaṁśa Mālā

translated by Swami Bhaktivijñāna Giri

‘Datta Vaṁśa Mālā’ was written by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura in 1876, and is a genealogical description of his dynasty, the Dattas. The first part is a series of 32 Sanskrit verses, to which the Ṭhākura gave an expanded Bengali translation/commentary to. The second part of the book is a lengthy genealogy of the Datta dynasty that Bhaktivinoda had collected from various family sources.
