Bharatrihari was a sixth century Indian poet who wrote Bharatrihari Satak, a book of Sanskrit poetry comprising of three sections of a hundred verses each. The first section, the Shringar, focuses on love and love-making. The second section Vairagya, talks about the gradual withdrawal from worldly matters and the third section, Niti has verses on ethical conduct. His poetry displays great depth and intensity of feelings as the writings move between pleasures of the flesh and spiritual pursuits of the soul. Most of the poems have just four lines and sometimes two, but as in miniature paintings where the small size enhances the beauty of the paintings, these poems through a few words convey profound meaning. Presented in this book are selections from the original Sanskrit poems alongwith their English translations by Dr Ramesh Chandra Shah, an eminent Hindi poet, novelist and critic who has been a professor of English in the University of Bhopal (India).
