description: This book is a collection of 188 translations from the three literary languages of classical India. Dating from the first to the late 14th centuries CE, the poems are gleaned from various works, including Kuruntokai, and Ainkurunuru for old Tamil, Gthasaptasati and Vajjalagga for Prakrit, and Rtusamhara and Samgadharapaddhati for Sanskrit. The author incorporates her unique mastery of these languages with her scholarship and poetic skills to offer a pan-Indian flavour of the changing seasons.
