A relic of Bengali devotional poetry, this collection unveils Ramprasad Sen’s fervent hymns to Kali—the dark Mother who governs cycles of birth and death. Each verse is a shard of wild mercy, translated with precision to preserve the poet’s mythic cadence. A legacy artifact for seekers of Shakti’s voice.
