Written in praise of a buffalo, Vāñcheśvara Dīkṣita’s \u003ci\u003eMahiṣaśatakam \u003c\/i\u003eis timeless in its treatment of power, and its subversion. In resurrecting eighteenth-century Tanjore for the modern reader, Kesavan Veluthat lifts the poem beyond its immediate literary context and situates it in a contemporary global political setting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresenting a modern English translation along with the Sanskrit text, this work provides a fare that is as rich in double entendre\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eas it is in its onomatopoeic metaphors.
