Sanskrit Poetry from Vidyākara's Treasury
Douban
Vidyākara Daniel H. H. Ingalls
résumé
In this collection of Sanskrit verse, the late Daniel Ingalls provides English readers with a variety of poetry from the anthology of an 11th-century Buddhist scholar. Althought the style of poetry presented here originated at the royal courts, the book shows how it was adapted to all aspects of life, and came to address issues as diverse as love, sex, heroes, nature, and peace.
