520 _a"Under the shadow of imminent death, a great poet reflects on the journey of his life and the choices that have led him to this fateful moment. And so begins the story of Bhartrihari, the greatest Sanskrit poet of love. As a young man, Bhartrihari arrives in the magnificent city of Ujjayini where his astonishing brilliance as a poet is recognized immediately and he flourishes under the patronage of the formidable young king of Avanti. But the journey of his self is not as smooth, caught as he is between sexual passion and erotic disenchantment. And it is this ceaseless conflict between morality and desire that will push the boundaries of Bhartrihari’s own creative genius at great personal cost.--
