Book Description
Sanskrit literature has produced many poets whose works have earned them immortality, and Magha stands among the brightest luminaries in this distinguished tradition. Sisupalavadha, popularly known as тАЬMagha,тАЭ is the only surviving work of this eminent poet. The poem reflects MaghaтАЩs vast scholarship, deep intellectual insight, and refined aesthetic sensibility. His writing reveals profound knowledge of the Vedas, Puranas, Mimamsa, Grammar, lexicons, Sankhya and Yoga, Vedanta, Buddhist philosophy, statecraft, Kamasutra, music, Asvavidya (science of horses), and Hastividya (science of elephants). He also demonstrates keen observation of both human and animal behavior.
Magha was a devoted follower of Sri Krishna, and the central aim of this epic poem is to praise Sri Krishna by depicting a significant aspect of his magnificent personality. The poem has received wide acclaim from literary critics and has exerted a strong influence on later poets in Sanskrit literature.
This monograph presents the important literary features of the poem in a clear and scholarly manner. Originally written in Hindi, it has been translated into English by an eminent Sanskrit scholar, making the work accessible to a broader readership interested in classical Sanskrit poetry and literary criticism.
