  1. Ayush Chauhan –

    A challenging but ultimately enriching experience. Not a light read, but full of insightful observations.

  2. Siddharth Pawdia –

    Some really beautiful lines, capturing universal emotions. I found the spiritual themes particularly engaging.

  3. Akshita Bhardwaj –

    Interesting historical piece. It dragged a bit in the middle. Still, worth the read for poetry lovers.

  4. Name –

    Found it quite repetitive and lacking a strong narrative thread. A scholarly work better suited for academics.

  5. Aditya Sahu –

    Beautifully translated, offering a window into a lost world. I enjoyed the themes explored, though some verses were repetitive.

  6. Manoj M –

    A bit dense, but ultimately rewarding. Requires patience and multiple readings to fully appreciate.

  7. Shikhar Singh –

    A timeless collection, reflecting the human condition across ages. The verses on love were my favorite.

  8. Surya Kant Vashisht –

    Interesting, but I prefer more narrative poetry. It’s like small wisdom nuggets, some more impactful than others.

  9. Iqraa –

    I wanted to love this, but struggled with the archaic language, even in translation. It’s insightful, but not easily accessible.

  10. Kaushal Kumar Sharma –

    A fascinating glimpse into ancient Prakrit poetry. Some verses truly resonated, but the sheer volume felt overwhelming at times.

  11. Prachi Charde –

    A mixed bag. Some verses resonated deeply; others were harder to grasp. A worthwhile exploration nonetheless.

  12. Pratibha Singh –

    Profound and moving! The poetry is surprisingly relevant even today. A true literary gem. Highly recommended.

  13. Yogesh Jijhontiya –

    A unique collection. The gatha style is interesting, but the lack of context made some verses difficult to understand.

  14. Nishant Sharma –

    Deeply moving and spiritual. I savored each verse, reflecting on its meaning. A truly transformative read.

  15. Aiswarya Suresh –

    Excellent translation; made this ancient work accessible. I enjoyed learning about the gatha style.

  16. Athira Venugopal –

    A wonderful introduction to Maharashtri Prakrit literature. It’s concise and thought-provoking. I’d read it again.

  17. Abhishek Raj –

    Lovely verses, full of wisdom. I especially appreciated the sections on love and nature. A calming read.

  18. Anushka Srivastava –

    Felt disconnected from the cultural context. While some verses stood out, many felt similar.
