Milman’s verse translation of the episode from the Mahabharata in which King Nala, possessed by the demon Kali, loses his kingdom at dice and abandons his faithful wife Damayanti in the forest. Their wanderings, disguises and trials of love fill the poem’s books, and other translated Sanskrit poems complete the volume.
One of the most loved Indian love stories, in an early English version by the future Dean of St. Paul’s. Download the free EPUB.
