Description:Bhanu is probably the most famous Sanskrit poet that no one today has ever heard of. His “Bouquet of Rasa” and “River of Rasa,” composed in the early sixteenth century, probably under the patronage of the Nizam of Ahmadnagar in western India, attracted the attention of the most celebrated commentators in early modern India. Some of the greatest painters of Mewar and Basohli vied to turn his subtle poems into pictures. And his verses, such as this one,You stayed awake all night and yetit’s my eyes that are throbbing;you were the one who drank the rumand yet it’s my head that’s splitting;and in the bower buzzing with beesit was you who stole beauty’s fruit,yet I’m the one the Love God woundswith his arrows that burn like firewere prized by poets everywhere: Abu al-Fazl, the preeminent scholar at Akbar’s court, translated it into Persian, and, Kshetráyya, the great Andhra poet of the next century, adapted it into Telugu. Many writers have described the types of heroines and heroes of Sanskrit literature (the subject of the “Bouquet of Rasa”) or explained the nature of aesthetic emotion (that of the “River of Rasa”), but none did so in verse of such exquisite and subtle artistry.Sheldon I. Pollock is William B. Ransford Professor of Sanskrit and Indian Studies, Columbia University. He has also translated Ramáyana II: Ayódhya and Ramáyana III: The Forest of the Ramáyana and Rama’s Last Act. He is the author of The Language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture, and Power in Premodern India and editor of Cosmopolitanism and Literary Cultures in History: Reconstructions from South Asia.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
