Summary |
Steven P. Hopkins provides a translation--with introduction, textual notes, and thematic commentary--of the Hamsasandesa, a ""messenger poem"" by saint-poet and philosopher Vedantedesika (c.1268-1369). Equally the work of a scholar and a poet, this book analyzes the Sanskrit sandesa within the wider comparative context of South Indian and Sri Lankan literatures |
