Charjagiti Padabali by Sukumar Sen [Hardcoverrrr]

The Charyapada collection is one of the most ancient and invaluable treasures of Bengali language and literature. Despite its significance, these texts were only discovered in the second decade of this century. The manuscripts of the Charyapada were recovered from the Nepal Royal Court Library by the scholar Haraprasad Shastri and brought to public attention. Since then, there has been considerable curiosity and excitement among scholars regarding Charyagiti, with much debate, discussion, and further discoveries of new Charyapadas.

This book, "Charyagiti Padabali," is a compilation of all known Charyapadas and Charyagiti. It is not only a collection of Charyagiti but also includes a detailed analysis by the esteemed Sukumar Sen on the themes, meanings, and meters of the Charyapadas. He provides insights into both the literal and deeper meanings of the texts and attempts to determine the time period and authentic interpretation of these works from a scientific perspective. This important and long-unavailable book has been republished by Ananda Publishers.
