The plea includes a lyrical description of the route the messenger will take and the message itself. The first was the Cloud Messenger, composed by Sanskrit's finest poet, Kali-dasa, in the fifth century CE. This inspired the next, the Wind Messenger, composed in praise of King L kshmana-sena of Gauda (Bengal) in the twelfth century by Dhoyi, one of his court poets. Numerous more followed, including the third in the CSL selection, the sixteenth-century Swan Messenger, composed in Bengal by Rupa Go-svamin, a devotee of Krishna.\u003cbr\u003eCo-published by New York University Press and the JJC Foundation\u003cbr\u003eFor more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit http: \/\/www.claysanskritlibrary.org\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 440\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 6.5 x 4.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47335287193849,"sku":"9780814757147","price":41.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TjkxbFl3VFVya1hxS2dkYnlna2Mydz09.webp?v=1769657794","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/messenger-poems-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
