Absolute cringe. Paninian Grammar is one of the major intellectual wonders of the ancient world. His analysis of Grammar is the short and codified description of the entire grammar of classical Sanskrit. The language he codified and shaped became a major vernacular in South Asia and was used to write an unfathomably large body of literature encompassing almost all kinds of texts imaginable.

So there's this guy that goes to India, specifically Bengal, gets Malaria, works in the library of some philosophy teacher, has sex with his 16 year old daughter, gets kicked out, and then goes to the Himalayas where he performs tantric rituals with some South African lady, and then goes back to Europe.

The Girl Maitreyi by Mircea Eliade, unironically.

Pic very related

Has anyone here read "Na Hanyate" by Maitreyi Devi? Is she actually responding to pic related?

Also, on another notice, what the f*ck did Vatsyayana mean with the "sit"-sound in the Kamasutra? Was he autistic?

Anyone read Kalidasa? Is it actually good or too artificial?
