Product Description

Review

"This translation should serve as a model for anyone who aspires to translate poetry from the Sanskrit into English. Not only is it accurate, which is the easier part of translating, but it is also poetically sound, by far the more difficult part."--Robert A. Hueckstedt, "Journal of the American Oriental Society


Product Description

The Kumarasambhava of Kalidasa, probably composed about A.D. 400, is the greatest long poem in classical Sanskrit. The love story of the God and Goddess Shiva and Parvati, who are both lovers and cosmic principles, the poem is a paradigm of the union between male and female played out on the immense scale of supreme divinity.
