    Absolutely stunning! The imagery is vivid, and the story of Annada is compelling. This translation makes it accessible to a wider audience.

  2. Aditya Raj Basistha –

    Interesting historical context, but the poem itself didn’t grab me. I found myself skimming through large portions. It was a bit dry.

  3. Biprajit Mazumder –

    A unique and captivating poem! I found myself completely immersed in the world of gods and goddesses, and the writing style was accessible.

  4. Sarthak Singh –

    While the subject matter is interesting, I struggled with the language. It felt a little dense at times, impacting my enjoyment.

  5. Prakher Nigam –

    A valuable piece of literature. Some parts are truly great but some of the phrasing was confusing to me. Overall, I learned a lot!

  6. Ayush Denzil Tirkey –

    An excellent translation that preserves the essence of the original poem. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in religious studies.

  7. Tannu Rani –

    I enjoyed learning about the goddess Annada and the historical context. Some parts were slow-paced, but overall, an enlightening read.

  8. Anant Kumar Yadav –

    Beautifully translated! This book transported me to th-century Bengal. A must-read for anyone interested in Hindu mythology and Bengali culture.

  9. Rajat Bharti –

    I was hoping for a more engaging narrative. The details about the city and temple were a bit too much for me. I wanted more goddess.

  10. Akshay Kumar –

    A fascinating glimpse into Bengali literature. The translation is well done, but the poetic style felt a bit dated for my taste. Still worth reading for the cultural insights.
