{"product_id":"messenger-poems-9780814757147","title":"Messenger Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eSanskrit Messenger poems evoke the pain of separated sweethearts through the formula of an estranged lover pleading with a messenger to take a message to his or her beloved. The plea includes a lyrical description of the route the messenger will take and the message itself. The first was the Cloud Messenger, composed by Sanskrit's finest poet, Kali-dasa, in the fifth century CE. This inspired the next, the Wind Messenger, composed in praise of King L kshmana-sena of Gauda (Bengal) in the twelfth century by Dhoyi, one of his court poets. Numerous more followed, including the third in the CSL selection, the sixteenth-century Swan Messenger, composed in Bengal by Rupa Go-svamin, a devotee of Krishna.\u003cbr\u003eCo-published by New York University Press and the JJC Foundation\u003cbr\u003eFor more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit http: \/\/www.claysanskritlibrary.org\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kali Dasa, Dhoyi, Rupa Gosvamin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clay Sanskrit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.50h x 4.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814757147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMallinson, James:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eSir James Mallinson\u003c\/b\u003e translates and edits Sanskrit literature full time for the JJC Foundation, co-publishers (with NYU Press) of the Clay Sanskrit Library.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clay Sanskrit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40671736168563,"sku":"9.78081E+12","price":43.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ad03caa1-57b4-450f-af3a-8ad231243a55.jpg?v=1674055806","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/messenger-poems-9780814757147","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
