Produktbeschreibung

These new translations of the Tiruppavai and Nacciyar Tirumoli composed by Kotai, the ninth-century South Indian mystic-poetess, capture the lyricism of the Tamil originals. Kotai's poems-two of the most significant compositions by a female mystic-express her encounters with the divine Vishnu through the use of a vibrant verbal sensuality.
