Due to the interest created by Western audiences, the Kama Sutra and love poetry has also been in the limelight. But, even though the \u003ci\u003eHasya Rasa\u003c\/i\u003e or the humorous sentiment has always been an integral part of our ancient Sanskrit literature, it is little known today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnthology of Humorous Sanskrit Verses\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of about 200 verse translations drawn from various Sanskrit works or anthologies compiled more than 500 years ago. Several such anthologies are well-known although none of them focus exclusively on humor. A.N.D. Haksar's translation of these verses is full of wit, earthy humor and cynical satire, and an excellent addition of the canon of Sanskrit literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Penguin Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780670095827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208","brand":"A.
