Reviews

"In this elegant, beautifully paced translation of the Mirigavati, Aditya Behl displays the verve and luminosity that sparkled from every page of his own tragically short life. Wary of 'keys to the scriptures,' he nonetheless finds one written into the text itself and thus unlocks a literary secret 500 years old. This is a work of sustained genius-a genius, alas, ever young." --John Stratton Hawley, Professor of Religion, Barnard College, Columbia University
