New Bharatiya Book Corporation, 2005. 1st Edition. Hardcover. New. Rhetoricians have enumerated the purposes of poetry differently as certaining to the interests of poets and readers. They include fame, financial benefits, wordly prosperity, pleasure, knowledge, supreme bliss, transactions of the world and warding off evils. These are not only indicative and not exclusive. There could be other useful purposes as well. It is in this respect that the present work Yamapranamasataka - a century of verses in salutation of the god of death deserves our attention. It is in fact a sequel to another piece of work which again is drafted to serve another strange purpose that of pacification. It is the Kampanasahasra - a thousand verses in apology coming from the pen of the same author. Thus pacification and destruction of the enemy may also be included among the purpose of poetry, though this feature is not ordinarily met with. But then, our author was an extraordinary genius and the trails and tribulations that wracked havoc in his life are again of extraordinary nature. To use a modern usage it was like a 'tsunami' of some sort that called for a special treatment at the hands of a scholar-poet of rare accomplishments. The two works mentioned here - both composed by the same author Kerala Varma and both edited by the same modern scholar Dr. Poovattoor Ramakrishna Pillai, present a rare aspect of poetry and a unique contribution by an author of Kerala origin., New Bharatiya Book Corporation, 2005, Vintage Books / A Division of Random House, 2000. Corner tips lightly rubbed, small soil specks on bottom outside page edges by outer tip. 214 pages.. First Vintage Contemporaries Edition . Soft Cover. Very Good+. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., Vintage Books / A Division of Random House, 2000<
