Long ago, Sage Parāśara put into Sanskrit verse what a farmer needs to know through the year: how the coming rain was reckoned, how to care for the cattle, how to make the plough, and when to keep the seed, sow, transplant, harvest and fill the granary. Here are all 243 verses of the Kṛṣi-Parāśara, each with a plain-English meaning and a picture. Follow Rāmaṇṇa, Lakṣmamma and little Gaurī through their farming year, with the sage as their guide. For young readers and old, for farmers and the curious: an ancient book of the land, made easy to read.

Sage Parashara · compiled and edited by Hari Prasad Nadig

284 pages · Paperback (perfect bound), A5 (148 × 210 mm); colour cover, black-and-white inside · Sanskrit verses in Devanagari, with IAST transliteration · Pustaka Sampada
