Never before translated into English, the Manimekhalai is one of
the great classics of Indian culture. A second-century Tamil verse
epic, it is a sequel to the Shilappadikaram (New Directions, 1965),
which was also masterfully translated into prose by the acclaimed
musician and scholar of Hinduism, Alain Danielou. Rich with details
of the period's arts, customs, and religions, the Manimekhalai
provides an extraordinary picture of an age that suddenly comes
back to life. It is the story of a beautiful young dancer who
decides to forego her looming career as a courtesan in order to
dedicate her life (with the aid of gods, demigods, and a magic bowl
called the Cow of Abundance) to charity and to attaining the
"bright light of knowledge."
