Poems from the Satsai
The seventeenth-century Hindi classic treasured for its subtle and beautiful portrayal of divine and erotic love's pleasures and sorrows.In his Satsai, or Seven Hundred Poems, the seventeenth-century poet Biharilal draws on a rich vernacular tradition, blending amorous narratives about the god Krishna and the goddess Radha with archetypal hero and heroine motifs from older Sanskrit and Prakrit conventions.
