Replete with love, sex, disappointment, Hindu gods, and Buddhist philosophical concepts, Bhartrihari's poetry brings the world of ancient India to life. Despite the fact that collections of Bhartrihari’s poems are the most common non-religious manuscripts found in Sanskrit, Schelling’s translation represents a rare opportunity for English-language readers to become acquainted with this fascinating poet. Attuned to Bhartrihari’s unique poetic sensibility, Schelling has produced a compelling, personally curated set of translations.
