A treasury of Sanskrit poetry: in English translation
A.N.D. Haksar
This is a comprehensive
anthology of Sanskrit poetry in the best English translations
available. The first ever of its kind, it brings together excerpts from a
full range of original works, translated by over forty distinguished
writers including poets and scholars, savants and seers, and two winners
of the Nobel prize for literature.
Drawing from sacred as well
as classic and folk literature, this collection features a wide variety
of poetry in translation. It includes nature hymns and mystic
utterances; epic narratives and love lyrics; songs and reflections on
the human condition; verses devotional and philosophic, heroic and
tragic, erotic and satiric; courtly epigrams and inscriptions, and
simple poems form the countryside.
English translations from
Sanskrit have a history of over two centuries. The finest of these
renderings have been compiled in this volume by a well-known Sanskritist
to present the ancient language's poetic splendour, not through learned
discourse, but by letting the poetry speak for itself.
