This book contains three hundred verses ascribed to Bhartrihari, an Indian poet from the first or second century AD. The subject of these verses is morality, with the first two hundred and fifty discussing ethics and the remaining seventy-five covering the themes of asceticism and renunciation. The verses are often expressed as simple aphorisms and proverbs, examining ideas including the nature of happiness, the transience of life, and the ideal forms of conduct. Bhartrihari?s verses are celebrated for their rich language, philosophical insight, and their influence on later Sanskrit literature, making them a valuable exploration of ancient Indian thought.
