Description

A collection of 100 erotic songs of amour with an Oriental blend of sensualism and supramundane love.

Setting the hearts of romantics and the followers of Vaishnava cult throbbing for more than six centuries, these verses have got immortalized. The paragon aesthetic sense and the dualism revealed by Vidyapati in his song cast their spell on the devotees of Lord Krishna, whereas people with romantic proclivities dip into the fathomless depth of sensuousness and sensuality of Radha and Krishan, the universal beloved and the lover.

This inherent paradox has made these songs an all-time classic.

TRANSLATOR: Pralay Bhattacharya, the translator of these songs written originally in Maithili has made a thorough research and analyzed the songs of Vidyapati from different perspectives for non-Hindi speaking people.
