Lucknow based veteran lawyer turned author Atul Chandra Sarkar exhibited the guts to do an end to end English translation of Rishi Markandeya’s ‘Durga Saptashati’ under the cover title of ‘Joy Maa Durga’.
The book, published by Literoma, is released at Midsummer Book Exhibition in Kolkata recently. The book is not just a collection of hymns but also an authentic transliteration of the original Sanskrit verses. The best part of the book is its pictorial representation of nine forms of Devi Durga.
The cover depicts Mahishasur Mardini form of Durga Maa against a blood red background which is not only captivating but also a classy art. Appreciate the author’s tremendous attempt to transliterate such a Sanskrit marvel to simple English verses so that any non-Sanskrit reader can easily take a feel of ancient Hindu mythology.
