| The book offers an
erudite commentary on the sacred text of Shri Vishnu Sahasranama, one of the
most important hymns in the great corpse of Indian literature. Dr. Panduranga
Rao, a scholar of repute, here makes a detailed study of the meaning and
significance of the hymn — a garland of thousand names of the Lord of the
universe glorifying his qualities in an attempt to qualify the unqualified.
Devoting a separate chapter for the analysis of each of the 107 verses of the
stotra, he brings out the metaphysical nuances of each name with references
from various sources and mentions the texts where the names occur. He
explains related concepts and terms in an effort to present a wider
understanding of the subject. He also studies the context in which the sacred
hymn originated. The scholarly commentary reveals how the sacred text
presents a picturesque account of the Supreme reality, Highest existence and
Absolute bliss through graphic language and by adopting a photographic style
of its own. The work, with a foreword by Dr. Karan Singh, will be extremely
useful to all scholars of Indian tradition and literature as well as others
who are interested in the recitation and understanding of Shri Vishnu
Sahasranama. |
