The Birth Of The War God

Bag om The Birth Of The War God

The Birth of the War God is a poem written by Kalidasa in 1879. It tells the story of the birth of the Hindu god Skanda, also known as Kartikeya or Murugan. The poem is set in ancient India and follows the journey of the gods and demons as they search for a powerful being who can defeat the demon Taraka. The gods turn to Shiva, who creates Skanda from his own essence to be the warrior they need. The poem explores themes of good versus evil, the power of love and devotion, and the importance of duty and sacrifice. The Birth of the War God is considered one of Kalidasa's most significant works and is a classic of Indian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
