"A gem of a literature which may be compared to any great epic rediscovers the glory of ancient moirang, the cradle of Manipuri civilisation. It is truly an epic, dignified and elaborate with epic breadth of vision, richness of details, directness of ideas and a faithful portrayal of national life and manners."
