{"product_id":"krishna-charitam","title":"Krishna Charitam","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the Mid 1700s,the famed poet of Kerala Kunjan Nambiar,composed an eloquent work on the heroics of Krishna in the literary style called Mani Pravalam  a composite of the two languages,Sanskrit and Malyalam. Titled Krishna Charitam,this epic begins with the birth of Krishna,meanders through his loveable pranks and later,through his amorous interludes with the milkmaids of Vrindavan. The fast moving narrative takes readers through many of Krishnas other adventures,such as his fight with the giant serpent Kaliya.his defeat of the evil king Kamsa,his marriage to the beautiful princess Rukmini,his encounter with Jambavan,king of the bears and the many efforts to establish dharma.Many,lesser known stories are also told,such as the episode where he retrieves ten dead children from the land of Vishnu. All these narratives are interspersed with abundant humour,delightful descriptions of nature as well as numerous proverbs and pithy urgings. For many years,this great poem remained locked in the language of ManiPravalam,enjoyed only by a regional community.Now this English translation opens up that enchanting world of Krishna to a wider audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jaico","offers":[{"title":"Kunjan Nambiar\/Tr Ram Varmha \/ paperback","offer_id":47846860128501,"sku":"DADAX818495574X","price":13.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71sUPCdaPoL.jpg?v=1773843919","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/krishna-charitam","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
